Sherwin-Williams makes it easy to get the right primer for any surface you want to paint.

A primer coat is often overlooked. However, applying primer is a necessary step tot mask any existing stains, hide an intense existing color or to seal newly installed drywall. Other advantages include a smoother finish, prevention of mildew and protection of your topcoat to keep it from peeling. You can even use a shaded prirmter to maximize color results for bold, deep, vivid or transparent hues.
