Top tips: priming your project with PlastiKote spray paint
Many of our spray paints don’t require a primed surface but our top tip this month is to prime your project if it is to be in everyday use. PlastiKote spray paint has developed a wide range of different primers to make sure your project is fully prepared.
Anything that is going to be used frequently eg items of furniture, will benefit from a coat of primer first as it gives added adhesion and durability.

We also find that coverage is even better when a coat of primer is applied, especially with our water-based paints.
Bare wood, MDF and terracotta should always be primed. Of course, your colour spray paint will adhere without priming but wood, MDF and terracotta will soak the paint up and you will use a lot more spray paint.

Primer also gives a helping hand when spraying onto metal. Our metal primers also fight rust and offer protection from corrosion.
