Do you need a primer with Benjamin Moore paint?

Use a primer to get the most out of your paint, especially if your walls are porous or have surface stains that need covering up. Benjamin Moore’s Fresh Start® line of premium interior primers offer products that provide excellent hide on nearly any surface, even for projects with a significant color change.

Can regular paint be used as primer?

You should not use white paint as primer, as primer has a higher concentration of solids plus it contains an adhesive binder and acts as a sealant. A good quality primer is designed to provide the final finish coat with a better bonding surface than the bare surface itself, unlike white paint.

Can you paint over primer without sanding?

Good quality bonding primers will often state ‘no sanding is necessary’ and will stick to glossy surfaces like glass, tile, metal etc. The really good primers do cost a little more but are well worth it. If you use a good quality primer prior to painting with a reputable paint, sanding may not be necessary.

Can you paint over varnished wood?

You can paint over varnished wood as long as you use the right materials and painting process. The best paint to use is a water-based acrylic one. If you’re using an oil-based paint only use an oil-based primer, not an acrylic one.

Do you need to sand after priming?

For your finish to be vibrant and not dull sanding after primer will ensure that the finish is not excessively dulled when you apply your paint top coat. You will typically use finer grit sandpaper and aim to achieve a smooth wood finish so that you get a fine appearing wood finish when you apply your topcoat.
