Painting your walls or cabinets is an easy and low-cost way to update any room in your house, and most painting projects can be completed in just one weekend. Equally as important as choosing the right paint color is ensuring you prime first with the right primer. Without priming before painting, you risk poor paint adhesion and previous colors or stains seeping through and ruining your new paint color.<\/p>\n

Using the right primer ensures that your topcoat color will appear on the walls as you expected it to. If you\u2019re painting over a darker colored wall with a new lighter shade, KILZ 3\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Primer<\/a> works to block previous dark paint colors from seeping through and changing the look of your new paint. When painting over a light color with a new darker hue, it\u2019s still equally important to prime first. KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose<\/a> primer is a great choice for light to dark color changes. And if your walls have tough or exceptionally dark stains or damage from smoke or water, KILZ\u00ae<\/sup> Original Primer<\/a> and KILZ Restoration<\/a> are both formulated to block severe stains.<\/p>\n

What if you\u2019re painting cabinets, do you need to prime? If you want excellent paint adhesion and for your colors to appear in their truest hue \u2013 the answer is yes! Primer also makes your paint job durable, and that is especially important in high-traffic areas like kitchens. You often find cabinets in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms, and these areas of the home are subject to fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels that can make paint peel. For these spaces, a primer like KILZ Mold & Mildew<\/a> dries with a mildew resistant primer finish that helps protect and extend the life of your paint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
