Benefits of a Benjamin Moore Primer

If you want to save time and money, a good paint primer can really make a difference. The biggest cost with most paint projects is actually the labor. A quality bonding primer will not only reduce the time and effort on the job, but will also help to make the paint last even longer. A primer is an undercoat that is a preparatory coating that is put onto materials before painting. Priming ensures better coverage and adhesion of paint onto a surface, increases the durability of the paint and adds additional protection to the material being painted. Did you know that you can even get a mildew-resistant primer that can dry in less than one hour? If you have a tough surface to paint that was previously painted, mildewed or  weathered and you just don’t have the time to sand, strip, and/or de-gloss it, Texas Paint & Wallpaper has the best paint primers for you to use.
