Beige walls with orange peel texture
Comments (1)Hi Topkicker, You can probably guess the correct answer...Yes, you DO need to prime for best results! >>> My little priming phrase..."Priming solves many problems, but creates none..." sums up a lot of things I feel. >>> Your topcoats will... * Bond better, * Develope an even Sheen, * be shielded from staining underneath...IF a good stainblocking primer is used. * Some primers even have Vapor-barrier ratings! >>> Your colors should be light enough that a white primer will be just right.
