We love primer... yes, LOVE. One trick of the trade is to tint your primer. Many people do not know you may tint a gallon of primer up to 6oz of color or more.
Our 4 favorite primers (no particular order):
1.Unconditional Best Friend- Kilz original (oil based)
2. Our first love- Gripper (water based)
3. Won our loyalty- Kilz 2 (water based)
4. We’re not worthy- IL (water based)
Let the primer debates begin:
When painting red or blue (or a dark color over white), use grey primer. Every time we use grey, we have never had to paint more than 2 coats of color.
Tinting primer at the store:
If you are painting a light color on your cabinets, you will most likely be able to achieve a color match when tinting your primer.
The most common comments from the paint person when tinting primer at the local home store are 1.You can’t tint the primer. AND 2. It won’t come out to match the color you are requesting.
Your response: Kindly point out the amount of ounces of color the label declares you may put in the can. And give them the confidence that you understand it may not come out to the exact color and you will take the mixed primer home even if it is not an exact match. And if all else fails, tell them we said so!
