Wiki / PRIMER

First full coat of paint applied to a surface when a multicoat system is being used. Primers provide adhesion to a new substrate (wood, metal, masonry, or concrete), protect the substrate, and aid in the adhesion of additional coats of paint. The type and condition of the substrate and the painting system specified for a job affect the selection of the primer. Primers for steel work may contain special anti-corrosive pigments.
