Primers act as an intermediary between the substrate and the topcoat. Good ones seal, hide and bind to render the surface more uniform. This, in turn, allows the topcoat to get a better grip on the surface and ultimately results in better staying power.

For instance, when an enamel topcoat is applied to a primed exterior door, the paint actually is not being applied to the door but rather to the primer. The primer makes a possibly difficult-to-coat substrate more accepting for the topcoat, resulting in a longer-lasting, smoother finish.

Modern research and development has given birth to new primer technologies — products that not only provide the basics but attack specific problems. If you have a tough stain to cover, inherent substrate flaws or even need to prevent mildew, chances are there’s a primer solution that will help you achieve a flawless finish.

A good primer can tackle such tough exterior surface problems as hiding or sealing:

• Tannin bleed
• Porous surfaces like weathered masonry or exposed wood
• Water damage or other discoloration
• Graffiti
• Efflorescence on masonry surfaces

You should always use a primer on a new, unpainted surface, especially wood or masonry. Primers also should be used in most repaints, particularly in cases where the surface is uneven, stripped or worn down to the original substrate.

Primers are a must in areas where moisture and humidity are constant, such as the South or the Pacific Northwest. Mildew thrives in such environments and loves to inhabit improperly coated surfaces. It is not picky — it will grow on anything porous, from cypress wood to stucco.

A good primer will augment the topcoat’s ability to resist surface moisture and the ensuing mildew. Starting with a prime coat can extend the repaint cycle from a potentially expensive six months to one year to upwards of two or three years. It might cost you $1,000 extra at the start to use a good primer, but in the long run, you’ll be glad you did. Think of it this way: It’s not about the cost of primer, it’s about the future labor and materials cost. Primers are good preventive medicine.
