Easy House Painting Tips - Newsletter January, 2010
Welcome to some great House Painting Tips! Table of Contents Self Priming Paint or Regular Paint Self Priming Paint or Regular Paint There’s a new product on the market that is getting more popular – one that claims to be a “self priming paint”. Behr has introduced a line for this type of paint. The biggest question is… how good is it and should I use it in my home? First, I need to state that this is my opinion! I’ve heard this claim before from all kinds of different paint manufactures over the years. Personally, I’m a firm believer in steps when painting and one of them is priming where necessary and using the right primer for the surface that will be painted. I also wonder about the Behr paint, "How much of the paint can is primer and how much is paint?" and "Did they reduce some critical components to make this work?" The jobs that I’ve done, both interior and exterior, have lasted years – mainly due to following the proper Preparation steps that I outline on my site here. It may save you time by just applying this one self-priming paint, but you’ll probably be troubled with an inferior finish and likely failure of the paint very soon.
