Interior Paint Guide is a free service that connects homeowners with local interior painters and painting companies. We are not a painting contractor and we do not perform the work ourselves.
Prime when you are painting new drywall, bare wood, or patched areas, covering stains, or making a dramatic color change such as light over dark. Primer seals the surface and helps the topcoat adhere and cover evenly. When repainting a similar color on a sound surface, a quality paint-and-primer may be enough.
