Base And Finish Coats

For a decorative finish coat to last and look so much good, the base coats are so much important.

For interior a primer-first coat is a good option.

What is primer?

It is a preparatory coating put on uncoated or unfinished surfaces before painting.

Why primer is important?

-Provides extra protection for the painted coat.

-Provides a good base for more coats.

-Ensured better adhesion of paint to the surface, and makes paint more durable.

-Could be used to seal stains,or to hide a color that is to be painted over.

Tips for first coat:

-One or two of first coat paint are required before the finish decorative coat is applied.

-Use a pale first coat under the pale finish coat and a dark first coat under the dark finish coat.

-Water-based paint is always applied in many coats as required to get a very good coverage.

-If you choose a bold color, bear in mind using a tinted first coat to apply before the finish coat so you will need a fewer coats to get the rich look.

The finish coats! 

-Selecting the finish coat requires the following:

-Type of sheen or glossiness, it depends on aesthetic, practical cosiderations and the durability.

-The paint color, because color can either make or break designs.

-The paint effect.
