Just primer, not paint
Hi,
I have primed the walls in the room that I intended to paint white (Glidden gripper) and it looks just great. Can I leave it as it is or am I better off (and why) putting on a coat of paint? Thanks! Aaron Fude |

It is not very washable, it is usually not quite a smooth. It is made to perform a specific task and to be coated with a different paint. It may look OK for a time but don't expect it to perform as well as top coat paint. |

Thanks! Aaron Fude imho, I've found that primer's design for a 'attachable' surface for paint, also allows for attachment of dust, and dirt. Just my observations. tom @ www.Consolidated-Loans.info |

Just my observations. tom @ www.Consolidated-Loans.info Give this man a cheroot! The term is "tooth" and the primer will start to look funky soon. Primer is primer and finish coats are finish coats. They each have their job and are not interchangeable. Thank you, I tried to remember the right word. tom |
