Primer and paint belong together. A match made in design-heaven, primer helps paint to be the best it can be and is key to getting professional quality results. Read on below to learn five things primer does for your paint job and get inspiration for your next painting project.<\/p>\n

Primer Makes Your Paint Job Durable<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Over time, fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels can make paint peel. For spaces where this is normal like kitchens, using KILZ 3\u00ae Premium Primer (known for its exceptional adhesion and durability) before you paint can help ensure your paint job lasts longer. See the full kitchen transformation with step-by-step instructions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Primer Seals and Blocks Stains<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you have a wall with unpleasant stains, for example smoke stains from a previous homeowner in a bedroom, KILZ\u00ae Original Primer with its powerful stain blocking formula is the one for the job. See how we freshened up a mid-century modern bedroom with primer here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Versatile Multi-Surface Sealer<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When you want to paint a porous surface like brick, you want a primer that seals the surface. KILZ 2\u00ae All-Purpose Primer is a versatile multi-surface sealer perfect for the task.\u00a0See how a freshly primed and painted fireplace pops against on-trend navy walls in this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Primer Hides Dark Colors<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When you\u2019re applying a new paint color, the last thing you need is your old color seeping through. That\u2019s why KILZ 3\u00ae Premium Primer is a great primer choice when going from a darker color to a lighter color. It hides dark colors and creates the perfect base for your new topcoat paint. See how KILZ primer turned a dark spare room into a sunny and sweet nursery here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Primer Has a Mildew Resistant Primer Finish<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In high humidity areas, like bathrooms, KILZ\u00ae Kitchen & Bath Primer is up to the task. It dries with a mildew resistant primer finish that helps protect and support paint. See the full bathroom transformation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
