#Primer for paint

What are the uses of interior primer before paint?

When it comes to painting your home's interior, using a primer before applying paint can make a big difference in the final result. A primer is a preparatory coating that is applied to surfaces before painting to improve adhesion, enhance durability, and provide a smooth and even surface for the paint to adhere to.

Here are some of the main uses of interior primer before paint:

 1. Improves Adhesion

One of the primary functions of a primer is to improve adhesion between the surface being painted and the paint itself. This is especially important when painting over surfaces that are slick or glossy, such as tile, glass, or metal. A primer creates a bond between the surface and the paint, ensuring that the paint adheres properly and doesn't peel or flake off over time.

 2. Enhances Durability

Another benefit of using a primer is that it can enhance the durability of the paint job. Primers are designed to create a barrier between the surface and the paint, protecting the surface from moisture, stains, and other types of damage. This can help extend the life of the paint job and keep your walls looking fresh and new for longer.

 3. Provides a Smooth and Even Surface

Using a primer can also help create a smooth and even surface for the paint to adhere to. This is especially important when painting over surfaces that are rough or uneven, such as drywall or plaster. A primer fills in any gaps or imperfections in the surface, creating a uniform base for the paint to be applied to. This can help ensure that the final result looks professional and polished.

 4. Saves Time and Money

Finally, using a primer can actually save you time and money in the long run. By creating a strong and durable base for the paint, a primer can help prevent the need for multiple coats of paint. This can save you both time and money on materials, as well as reduce the amount of time you spend painting overall.

Here are some additional details to enhance the pros and cons of not using branded interior primer:

Pros

- Cost: While non-branded interior primers may be less expensive than their branded counterparts, it's important to consider the cost in relation to the quality of the product. A lower-quality primer may require more coats of paint or need to be replaced sooner, which could end up costing you more in the long run.

- Availability: Non-branded interior primers may be more widely available, but this doesn't necessarily mean they are easier to find. It's important to do your research and make sure you're choosing a primer that is specifically formulated for the surface and type of paint you plan to use.

- Flexibility: Some non-branded interior primers may be formulated for use on a variety of surfaces, which can be beneficial if you're painting multiple rooms with different types of surfaces. However, it's important to make sure the primer is compatible with the specific type of paint you plan to use.

Cons

- Quality: The quality of a primer can have a significant impact on the final result of your paint job. Non-branded interior primers may not have the same quality standards as branded products, which could result in a lower-quality paint job. A high-quality primer will provide better adhesion, coverage, and durability, resulting in a smoother and longer-lasting finish.

- Performance: Non-branded interior primers may not perform as well as branded products, leading to issues such as poor adhesion, uneven coverage, or peeling paint. A primer that is specifically formulated for the surface and type of paint you plan to use will provide better performance and ensure a successful paint job.

- Compatibility: Using a non-branded interior primer that is not compatible with the type of paint you plan to use can cause problems down the line, such as cracking, peeling, or discoloration. It's important to choose a primer that is specifically formulated for the type of paint you plan to use to ensure compatibility and a successful paint job.

- Safety: Non-branded interior primers may not meet safety standards or contain harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to your health. It's important to choose a primer that is safe for use indoors and meets all safety standards to protect yourself and your family.

Got my hands on some good clay and made everyone's favorite grandpa (besides Pongorma) Old Wayne! I wasn't sure about how I liked him until I painted him. But the scrap of navy blue cloth sealed the deal and I'm super happy with how he came out.

I was worried he'd be top heavy with that big-ass head of his so his skull is mostly aluminium foil and armature wire with the thinnest layer of clay over it. His tail is solid clay to help weigh his butt down.

A family photo. Who knows if that Wayne will ever become Old Wayne. If not... what will he become?

I misplaced the black posterboard I usually use to take pics of my sculptures, so bear with the black sheet until I either find it or get a new one. Sorry about that!

in other news, i'm (finally) getting around to repainting the rest of my psychonauts minifigs, and i'm once again pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sculpt underneath that terrible paintjob. like, this is pretty good! not super detailed, but pretty good, and certainly a lot better than you'd think at first glance

#you can see the arm i had to resculpt (his left/our right) is a little too spindly #i only noticed after the coat of primer had gone on.... #well. not going to let it bother me too much lol #but yeah the facial details are actually surprisingly nice #i didn't even strip the original coat of paint i just put a layer of primer on top #i think it'll come out really nicely once it's been properly painted up :) #he will finally be reunited with mini lili and dogen

slight regret putting together this bad boy before I move bc it’s huge but! progress!

#a birthday present from my mom :) #it’s 3d printed and was in pieces so I’ve glued it all together and smoothed the seams with epoxy clay #and now neatly covered in primer :) #probably going to fill/sand a bit more first but the aim is to paint it! #with normal acrylics tho this would severely decimate my miniature paint stores #tho I will use the blood fx one probably #I forgot to take pics during the previous steps oops #I’m going to have to have a thing shelf to put this with my dog thing and macready #yknow it’s fucked up that the mac figure doesn’t come with his big hat :( #.doc #the thing

Trust me when I say that not having worked on Lightning the Argent for almost a month now, again, drives me crazy just as much as I'm sure it's driving everyone else waiting for the EN translation crazy arrghgh

#textpost #Updated the Outrage section in my pinned and frowned looking at the dates for my other projects #On the bright side finishing the Outrage will free up a LOT of the time I could have been spending on translations recently #That sword has been a very tedious project #Painting it will go fast. Once the fluorescent paint gets here it will probably only take like 2 weeks to paint it #I'll only be able to do one side at a time which kinda slows things down but that's fine #It needs to be 100% dry before flipping it because it weighs 10lbs and the paint will stick from the weight and peel off otherwise #Had that happen with the primer today....... It's fine though 👍

Another mech from the ELH box finished- Sagittaire ready for deployment! The EXTRA THICC Locust is an absolute brick shithouse in CQC with its massive load of pulse lasers. Excited to try it out!

Bonus image! Don't talk to me or my son ever again!

Actual mini vs trying to take a photo of said mini.

(Still a WIP)

#pathfinder #majek says shit #victor #his skin became so dark grey over time because I kept mixing the skin tone woth other stuff for shading #and it gradually was becoming darker and darker while I still needed skin tone for corrections and stuff #so his face gradually also became darker xd #after Im done with him he's gonna look like he's wearing a ton of makeup rip #I'm a noob this is like my 3rd figurine painted ever #ok maybe 5th max although if we count only fully properly painted then Cayden was my only one and Victor MIGHT become the second #btw the joke is that minis look sharp and detailed when looked at normally and on photos everything is lumpy and covered in random hairs #and the printing layers invisible to the naked eye at the primer stage already somehow are perfectly captured

It's been a while since I last posted anything, so here's a pretty big update. Almost 50 Storm Wardens Space Marines painted to tabletop standard. Some still need decals and edge highlights, but tedium gets to us all. As I fish each Squad I'll take better lit and more thorough photos. But for now, here's them all mustered on my shelf.

15 Assault Intercessors, 5 Heavy Intercessors, 10 Infernus, 5 Terminators, 5 Sternguard Veterans, 3 Outriders, 1 Ballistus Dreadnought, and a handful of characters. Not quite half of an eventual full-strength Company.

Yuor traditional art table is everything I've always wanted since I was a child..... Dream table fr←art supplies are ridiculously expensive in my country

!!!! ahhh tbh p much everything on it is gifts from other people! ive been doing art since i was a kid so people just find art supplies a good failsafe gift for me, they get me like dollar kits and i make 'em work. even the table itself was a gift/payment for working an estate sale for a few days (its made of rock and resin!)

i wish you many art supply gifts and the finances to afford what it is that will bring you joy, my friend, we all deserve the materials and time to create

#ask #i think the apple paints primer and psychopaint are actually the only things here i actually bought? #even those paints tho were like. $10 for the set #shitty paints but they work for what i need

[hyulata]
