Priming Drywall - What You Need to Know About Paint And Primer In One Products
Paint and Primer in One? Is it really good for priming drywall? Does it replace using oil primer on wood?
Over the years, the painting industry has changed a lot - specifically the products being used and their environmental impact.
What is Paint and Primer in One?
Paint and primer in one is basically a blend of paint and primer in one paint product. It's usually found in the higher end product line of most paint retail brands.
It comes in both interior and exterior paint, and has increased adhesion and stain blocking capability - because of the primer additive.
Paint and Primer in One is ideal for quick turn over and to be used on drywall and wood surfaces where primer and paint is required.
Instead of using twice the labour (one coat for primer, and one coat for painting) you can get away with only one application.
The Verdict: Primer Sealer vs. Paint and Primer In One
So, what's the final verdict, you ask? Well, it all boils down to this: if your interior painting project involves more than just a small patch of drywall, Primer Sealer is your trusty sidekick.
It's not only less expensive, but when applied correctly it can make your paint job last a long time.
(Tip: make sure to allow proper drying time of your primer sealer prior to applying your 1st coat of paint. This is a critical tip that many DIYers and new painters overlook.)
