Hi there. I had my new deck stained and sealed 6 months ago. The guy who did it did a terrible job. Now I think I will just paint it. What primer should I use? Oil based?

[@arkrainflood]

fyi, had a roof leak (now fixed). cause water staining (greyish darkening ) of a white painted ceiling. it took 2x coats of kilz 2 primer and 4x repainting of original paint to reduce perceived darkening. there is STILL a slight difference. i suppose i should have gone with a oil based primer.

[@Simon-pl2zi]

Did you use a stain blocking primer? Zinsser BIN is excellent for stubborn stains but its important that you allow stain blocking primer to dry long enough to lock in the stain, Leave the first coat to dry overnight as a minimum.

[@RyanLoetscher]

I've been hired to project manage a haunted attraction and we make a lot of strange items into stone looks. Almost anything you can think of you'll find at a thrift store, we can probably find a way to make it stone... anyway, my question is on painting ornate items that have polished finishes or glazes that are too hard to sand well. A lot of stone props we make its easy just to throw monster mud (drywall compound and outdoor paint) or Drylok... but for things that don't really need the extra hardening, or have detail work that we need to keep to spraying, I want to make sure i'm adhering well to the surfaces and it wont chip outside in the elements all year. I have a project now where I have metal lamps, some kind of ceramic with a glaze and other objects of unknown material that shiny surfaces. I've got a technique for making the stone look with paint, but unsure if I need to prime, or if I can just use spray paints fine.

Awesome video! Very informative. I am attempting a furniture restoration for my niece and have several different pieces, including a wood dining set and a laminate/ particle board closet and computer desk. I did some research yesterday and learned that a shellac-based primer would be good at blocking wood bleeding and also help the paint adhere to the laminate but at the hardware store today the sales rep was trying to talk me into buying Gripper, which he said was water-based. I ended up going with the shellac but would a water-based primer work just as well for painting furniture? My niece is a new mom so she'll need something very durable.

Great video! What would you reccomend for re priming/painting a smokers house? The house my wife and I bought is riddled with nicotine and tar stains throughout. The celieng is textured with those circe sponge type designs. We really want the home to smell smoke free when we're done. Thanks for the help!

[@bitTorrenter]

Whilst Zinsser products are pretty dear, there are of very good quality. I would use Cover Stain. However, it does flash/grin through emulsion. I had to coat over Cover Stain with Bulls Eye 1-2-3 before attempting to paint with emulsion. B-I-N is also very good, but dries very quickly, so the finish can be ruined as the shellac gets sticky if you don't finish laying off quick enough. As the solvent is meths /alcohol, that's something that smells quite strong, is flammable and therefore takes getting use to.

[@spiritmama]

@@bitTorrenter If I can add on to this question - what would you use if you had to keep the smell at the level of your basic paint or less (and don’t want smell to stick around.. breathing issues).

[@thepaintpeople]

You have to get rid of the mildew first. TSP should do the trick. Then rinse walls a lot, allow to dry. Zinsser 1-2-3 is mildew resistant primer that should work. Then any exterior 100% acrylic paint as a topcoat.

[@debrakooiman8550]

Would you recommend that I use an oil paint (Sherwin Williams) that I would be applying with a cabinet roller? The cabinets are white and I'm painting them the same color. They just need a re-freshening. Or could I use a latex product after using a primer. Which primer should I use should I go this route? Help!

[@TheGregWallace]

Question......What are your thoughts on just using the Original Kilz (oil base) Low Odor primer as a ceiling paint on a popcorn ceiling in a bedroom. I like the bright white color, it hides everything and it has a durable finish.

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Greg, I’ve seen people use that before on stucco ceilings, just be mindful of the sheen level. Some oil based primer‘s have more of a sheen compared to a dedicated ceiling paint.

[@AndrewAce.]

We've used various kinds of oil products for painting stucco ceilings, including Kilz, Zinsser, and Glidden. They do have somewhat of an enamel-like sheen, but they're very strong and reliable - Though a bit messy to apply...

I went to a PPG store recently about a project I am getting ready to do. We are turning a upstairs office I to a nursery. The room has chair rail and bead board (pine) that has at least 1 clear coat on it. The salesperson I spoke to noted that he thinks if I just do a light scuff of the chair rail, bead board and trim them I would not need to prime? We were thinking of using simply white for the trim color and sandy beaches for the wall color (both BM colors). If we were to go with PPG paints which paints would you advise for the trim/bead board and then the walls?

Tinting the primer at the store will do nothing for you, if you were going from dark color to two whites use a good cover primer like BEN 123, or even BM Cover Up.

[@huejanus5505]

Hi-hiding flat acrylic white paint covers darker colors better than primers. If you’re just painting painted walls you don’t need a primer.

[@terilachonce280]

SOOOO many people don't get that. @@huejanus5505

[@terilachonce280]

(incase someone new reads this) YOU DON"T NEED PRIMER when painting over paint. (So long as the wall isn't plastered with crap like smoke, oil, crayons lol) . Think of it; you want to turn your dark walls light in the least amount of coats right? For extreme changes its going to take three coats. Most ppl look at this as primer then paint then paint. But the thing is, you want your first coat (base coat) to be as opaque as you can. And that will NOT be accomplished with primer. Using a primer strickly to change colors is a bullshit sales pitch because in this case, it'll do very little and you'll still end up putting three MORE coats of SOMETHING on. Buy a less expensive flat paint that is the least transparant and tint it to the color you are going to. Your paint store will know. The local ones. Probably not the $12/hr Home Depot or Lowes ppl. What you are aiming for here isnt quality, sheen, durability, wipeabilty, NONE of that. You are simply trying to get that dark covered. This comes down to opacity.

[@thepaintpeople]

Is it new wood or previously painted?

[@craigmellott6339]

It will be all new , raw.

[@craigmellott6339]

I know you cannot paint latex over oil base paint, but I’m told you can paint latex over oil base primer. Apparently it’s a smoother finish for trim paint

[@thepaintpeople]

If that's the case then yes, I would use oil base primer. If you use a water base primer the wood will get fuzzy and you will have to sand between coats.

[@suesnoble]

I still have question please. Builder (1983) used oil paint on whole house trim. Not knowing any better, I used latex over oil on the trim for the last 30 years. I’m repainting the whole house. What primer should I use so my latex adheres and doesn’t peel off with a swipe from the vacuum? I can’t imagine a way to be able to completely strip off all the latex. My den has 32 picture moldings so the trim is extensive. Thank you.

[@thepaintpeople]

I would recommend giving it a light sand to make sure it's not coming off, then prime it with something like Stix by Insl-X or extreme bond primer by Sherwin-williams!

[@suesnoble]

Be careful with the Bin shellac primer fumes. Make sure you have adequate ventilation or an exhaust fan. The can now has a bigger flammable label on the front due to some explosions that have been caused from sparks or pilot flames on stoves water heaters etc etc near by. Its also recommended to keep any compressors outside the spraying area to avoid a potential spark up and deadly fire. I have sprayed and rolled Bin primer numerous times and love it. A 3/8 nap premium shed less knit purple roller from home depot part# 1001287431 works great with lightly thinned down paint, dont worry about rough texture at first..it will dry even and sand super easy and smooth. In some cases i have used Bin as primer and top coat for interior portions of cabinets and holds up very well with 2 or 3 coats unsanded. You can tint Bin also, hope this helps.

This is exactly what I searched for today - thank you! You're informative and you stay on topic.I'm a new fan and subscriber. May I get your thoughts about priming a very porous ceiling? The ceilings in my 'new' place had never been painted; they still have the builder-grade, grayish, textured ick that was sprayed...27 years ago. Yes, they're gross. But after cleaning them up a bit, I realized just how porous they are and so I'm a little nervous about which primer to try. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I realize it'd be a blind guess, however yours is likely far better than mine.

If you have a stucco ceiling that has never been painted, we strongly recommend using an oil based primer as your first coat followed by two coats of a water based ceiling paint. Hope that helps!
