Black primer
Primer is essential for ensuring strong adhesion and coverage in your paintwork. By choosing a black primer, you ensure the next layer of paint covers better and avoids any visible white streaks. This applies to wood and other materials. Whether you opt for black or another dark colour, you’ll create the perfect base layer for your painting project.
Did you know...
Did you know that we can tint almost any primer black? Black is most often equivalent to RAL 9005.
Why choose black primer?
Choosing the right colour primer can significantly improve the coverage of the topcoat. When the primer and topcoat colours closely match, it enhances the coverage. Therefore, selecting the right colour is important when working with primer.
Tip from Verfmenger
Always make sure the primer is already tinted to the correct black colour, so the topcoat covers fully from the first layer. Getting black primer mixed? Opt for RAL 9005.
High-quality black primer
For a premium black primer, you can choose from various options. Water-based primers are available in shades like anthracite grey, black-grey, and jet black. These types can also be tinted in virtually any other RAL colour, ensuring you'll find the perfect shade for your project.
Black water-based primer
Black water-based primer is specially designed for indoor use and is an excellent choice to give your living spaces a fresh, modern look. This primer ensures strong adhesion, creating an ideal base for a flawless finish. After applying the black primer, you can easily topcoat with a water-based black paint. This not only ensures an even finish but also promotes a durable and environmentally friendly choice for your painting projects. The water-based variant dries quickly and has a low odour, making it ideal for use in enclosed spaces.
Black white spirit-based primer
Black white spirit-based primer is the right choice when a durable and robust foundation is required for your black outdoor paint. This type of primer offers excellent adhesion and protection, making it ideal for wooden surfaces exposed to the elements. The white spirit formulation penetrates deeper into the wood, significantly extending the finish’s lifespan. Additionally, this primer is resistant to moisture and weather conditions, ensuring your painting projects remain both visually appealing and functional. After applying the black primer, you can easily add a black topcoat for a sleek, professional look.
Getting black primer mixed
Having black primer custom-mixed at Verfmenger.com is no issue; we offer all black shades. The most popular choice is often RAL 9005, also known as "Jet Black." This shade provides a deep, rich finish, perfect for both interior and exterior applications. Whether you’re aiming for a modern or classic style, custom black primer ensures the perfect base layer, significantly improving coverage and the final result. Additionally, we can fine-tune the primer to meet your specific needs, ensuring the right colour and quality for your project.
Black multiprimer for perfect adhesion
Working with challenging surfaces like plastic, toespa, or PVC? Choose a black multiprimer for flawless adhesion. This specialised primer enhances adhesion on difficult surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of peeling or flaking paint. A black multiprimer provides a solid base that strengthens the next layer of paint, regardless of the colour chosen for your finish. By taking this step, you ensure a durable and professional outcome that resists wear and tear over time.
Matte black primer
Matte black is an increasingly popular colour choice. It offers a bold, graphic, and cosy aesthetic. For instance, if you’re painting kitchen cabinets in matte black, start with black primer for the best base. Once the primer is applied and lightly sanded, you can paint over it with matte black paint for a flawless finish.

Ultimately, as paint specialists, we can mix any black shade to suit your requirements.
