Prime and Paint
Now you have to prime the surface. Use a good quality primer for
this that is compatible with the top-coat you are going to use.
Kilz and
Zinnser are two manufactures that have web
sites. Using a good quality trim or sash brush, apply the primer. Apply a
good, smooth coat, being careful not to glop it on. Any lumps will show through
the final coat(s). Following the label directions, let the primer dry
completely. If there are uneven spots, it might be a good idea to lightly sand
after it dries with a 400 grit paper.
After the primer has completely dried, apply the topcoat. We
highly recommend a quality paint, it will help your finish last longer. In our
photographs, we used a semi-gloss latex paint as it cleans easier. We also
recommend that you scuff-sand before the second coat.
