Then, maybe after a few coats you get something that looks decent, if you\u2019re lucky. If you\u2019re not lucky though you might find your paint peeling, or those stains you\u2019d hope to cover up bleeding through. That\u2019s because you\u2019ve forgotten the one key, but often overlooked step in painting \u2013 priming.<\/p>\r\n
Priming is essential for a good quality paint finish, a good primer not only provides a nice, even colour as a base it also seals in stains and provides a key for paint to stick to, even on surfaces it may not be designed to stick to. Be aware though, no primer is suitable for every job; you should make sure you buy a suitable primer for your project to ensure the best quality finish. Currently we stock a range of Zinsser primers: these primers are some of the best on the market and are highly regarded by professionals and hobbyists alike.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1652368284967{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1652787296386{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1652786740679{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”332″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1653061009455{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]Bulls Eye 1-2-3\u00a0<\/a>is Zinsser\u2019s classic acrylic-based all-purpose primer, sealer and stain-killer.
