Cracked or Peeling Paint
Priming is always recommended to enhance coverage, adhesion and durability of the topcoat. Surfaces that should be primed include:
- All unpainted surfaces (such as bare wood, plaster or new drywall)
- Wallpaper
- Patched or repaired areas
- Paneling
- Stained surfaces
- Surfaces painted with oil-based paint
- Surfaces that will have an extreme color change (light to dark or dark to light)
After priming interior walls or other surfaces, all painting should be done within twelve hours for best adhesion.
