Spray Painting Equipment and Booths

Spray painting is a process in which a device (a paint sprayer) sprays a coating of paint through the air onto the surface which is to be painted.

There are different types of paint sprayers which are used for spray painting. These are also referred to as spray guns and spray applicators.

When To Use Primer Before Painting

Do you need to prime before you paint? This is a question that I hear quite often as a professional painting contractor. There are many instances where you will need to prime a surface before you paint but priming is not always required. In this article we will look at times when using a primer is necessary not only for a nicer finish but also how using a primer can actually save you money by using less paint.

Do You Need to Use Paint Primers?

Primer is an undercoating substance in the painting to smooth out uneven surfaces so that the paint looks and wears better. It works very well to eliminate stains and to cover wood imperfections. However, it depends on the type of project and the types of surfaces. You would not probably need a paint primer if the new paint you used is the same type of paint and color as the old existing paint, provided an even, no dirt surface.
