KINGDOM® Preparation Coats
A preparation coat is any coat of paint applied to your substrate to prepare for the application of the topcoat. When painting a new surface, the prep-coat is actually the most important step of a panting project!
A primer is the first coat of paint applied to the substrate. A primer has many purposes, including:
- • Blocking out stains and tannins.
- • Stops rust occurring on a metal surface.
- • Smooths out imperfections on a rough surface.
- • Creates a barrier to stop moisture travelling from the substrate to the topcoat.
- • Primers contain properties that assist to prevent mold and fungus from developing.
Wall putty is primarily used to fill in cracks and holes in walls and prepare an even wall surface before applying paint.
