A flawless paint job starts with the right foundation. Whether you’re tackling new drywall, covering stains, or painting over a glossy surface, priming is the key to achieving long-lasting, professional results. Benjamin Moore’s high-quality primers ensure optimal adhesion, smooth coverage, and a durable finish for any painting project.
Skipping primer can lead to uneven color, poor adhesion, and premature wear. A quality primer creates a uniform surface, allowing your topcoat to apply more smoothly and last longer. It also enhances color accuracy, ensuring your chosen Benjamin Moore shade looks its best in every light.
Different surfaces require different primers. Here’s a guide to selecting the best primer for your project:
New Drywall: Fresh drywall absorbs paint unevenly.Benjamin Moore Fresh Start® High-Hiding Primer provides excellent coverage and seals the surface for a seamless topcoat.
Glossy Surfaces: When painting over glossy or previously painted surfaces,Benjamin Moore Stix® Primer ensures strong adhesion and prevents peeling.
Stain Blocking: For water stains, smoke damage, or tannin bleed from wood we recommend Zinsser B-I-N Shellac Base Primer effectively seals stains and prevents them from bleeding through your paint.
Always clean and lightly sand the surface before applying primer for the best adhesion.
Choose a tinted primer when working with deep or vibrant colors to reduce the number of topcoats needed.
Allow primer to fully dry before applying paint to ensure a smooth, even finish.
