Consequences of Painting Without a Primer

Is Primer Necessary For Painting Walls?

Paint that is applied to a surface prior to the last application is called a primer. It enhances the adhesion of the final layer of paint, prepares the surface effectively by repairing gaps, cracks and serves as a barrier. Several things can occur to paint interior & exterior walls without primer:

• The paint won't stick to the surface well and will simply chip or peel off.
• The paint may not cover the surface completely and will be visible through the top coat.
• If a primer was not applied properly, the paint could not dry as quickly or evenly.
• The paint could not be as strong or long-lasting.

When painting over a comparable color or on a surface that is in good condition, you might be able to get off with painting without a primer. For superior and long-lasting painting results in your home exterior, consider booking an appointment with Neo by Nippon Paint.
