There are two things that determine the quality of a paint job: the quality of your products, and the quality of your preparation. The key to preparation is ensuring that, before you even dip your brush into that paint, you’ve done everything you can to make the surface you’re painting ready to accept that topcoat.

After scraping and cleaning your surface, it’s essential that you apply a primer to complete your painting preparation. These products are formulated to serve different purposes.

PRIMERS are coatings applied to a surface to provide a firm bond between the substrate and finish coat.

SEALERS are coatings that prevent the surface from absorbing paint or leaching from the substrate.

UNDERCOATERS are coatings formulated for or applied to substrates to provide a smooth surface for subsequent coats.

The product needed depends on the type of surface you’re painting. But the good news is that regardless of the challenges posed by your painting project, there is a KILZ product designed to provide the perfect solution.
