Primer does a couple of things.
1. It can be used to Kill the color if it’s a strong one,
2. It can also Neutralize the surface you are getting ready to paint,
3. And it can also be used as a barrier to keep Paint from penetrating into your new drywall or new wood as they are both very porous.

I just moved in to a new house and i wanna paint one of the rooms from a medium toned blue to a tan-ish/brown kinda color. Should i prime the whole room before i put on the new paint??

painting out of buckets is the only way to go.A 5 gallon or 2 gallon bucket.And Always with a roller poll.Not holding a roller frame and using a little plastic tray to roll out of.

you would need to put primer on it first. im moving into my first house in about a month and i’ve done alot of research on it. you can also go to lowes or a paint store and ask for more information on it!

July 27th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
drop cloths are there for when u roll and to keep all your stuff on so it doesnt scratch the floor
he doesnt even notice the paint he drips its very unpro u cant walk into peoples homes saying your a painter and them watching u do ignorant things like that i can guarantee he stepped in those drips and walked around just like when i train noobs LOL

ya’ll are seriously questioning his skill because he spilled (more like dripped) a little paint? I’m going to guess you’ve never spilled paint and probably paint in dockers and a polo.

Hey no disrespect but are you sure you are a painter? I found flaws in everything you showed “how to”. When you swipe off the stick and the can (not a brush) you spilled paint. You didn’t strain it and when you rolled it on you didn’t feather it out.

I wanted to know if someone could help me…. I’ve never painted a room befor and I’m moving in two weeks, I have the color picked out and its a dark purple plumb color. The room that I’m painting has brand new walls, that have never been painted… Is there anything special I need to do or can I just start painting? To I need to put primer on it first? Or buy extra coats cause its a new wall? If someone could respond I’d REALLY appreciate it. Thanks.

Sloppiest painter I’ve ever seen. Drop cloth the whole room before you do anything. With all those spots of primer on the wall, you might as well prime the whole wall. You’ll get a more even uniform look. “time is money”
