Paint like the pros for curb appeal that lasts

Curb appeal
Prime before you paint to
appeal
(MS) — There's nothing like a
fresh coat of paint to give the outside
of your home real curb appeal.
It's a big job, but with the right
tools and a few tips from the pros,
your paint job can look beautiful for
years.
Professional painters know that
one coat of primer and one coat of
paint will give you a better, longer
lasting paint job than two coats of
paint. That's why they prime first,
then paint.
Here's why:
• Primers provide the perfect
foundation for paint. Paint is
formulated for colour and durability.
Primers are formulated to provide
the ideal base for paint.
High-quality primers are rich in

resin so they adhere to surfaces
much better than paint alone. And
unlike paint, they, stick to hard-t6-
paint surfaces like vinyl siding so
you can get great results.
They're also formulated to seal
porous surfaCes, like brick, concrete,
masonry and new wood, so you use
less paint and get a more even colour
and sheen.
• Primers block stains. Wood, like
cedar and redwood, has a high
tannin content that can bleed right
through ordinary paint.
Graffiti, mildew and other stains
can also bleed through if you don't
prime first. Stain-blocking primers
are specifically formulated to block
stains permanently and completely
so they won't ruin your new paint
job. Stain-blocking primers are also
formulated to prevent rust formation
on the primer film, so they're great
for painting railings and other metal
surfaces.
• Primers make your colours look
better. They hide previous colours
even dark reds and blues — and
prevent them from showing through
new paint.
And because they create a sealed,
stain-free surface, primers make
paint colours look more vibrant and
beautiful.
Tip from the pros: If you lint your
primer toward the colour of your
paint, it's likely you'll use less paint,
• Primers prevent common paint
problems. High quality water-base
primers dry to a flexible film that
prevents common paint problems
like cracking, peeling an blistering.
Your paint job will be more durable
— and last much longer.
