What is VP White Primer used for?
Though white primer offers the same protective and rust-resistant qualities as traditional red-brown primer, it stands out due to its white colour. This makes it easier to apply light-coloured topcoats without any underlying colour bleeding through. Its versatility makes white primer a great choice for projects requiring a light finish, such as painting light wooden surfaces or metal structures.
What is the coverage per m² of this product?
The coverage of VP Platinum White Primer is 12 to 14 m² per litre. However, based on real-world experience, most painters achieve coverage of 10 to 12 m² per litre. It’s always better to have a bit more paint than not enough.
What is white primer?
One of the advantages of white primer is its suitability for both indoor and outdoor surfaces. It provides excellent adhesion and creates a strong base layer for subsequent coats of paint. This makes it a versatile option for projects like painting metal fences, window frames, and wooden fences. Furthermore, the light colour ensures the top layer appears brighter, which is especially important for achieving a fresh, vibrant look. Its quick drying time and long-lasting protection make white primer a time-saving and effective solution for painting tasks requiring a reliable base coat.
Which brush should I use for white primer?
When applying alkyd paint or lacquer, it’s essential to select the right brush. A good brush ensures even application and ensures optimal absorbency and release. We believe the VP Platinum Mixed Fibre Brush contains the best fibres for an excellent finish. This brush is made up of a combination of traditional pig bristles and selected synthetic fibres.
Which paint roller should I use?
A roller is ideal for achieving a smooth and even final result. You certainly don’t want to be picking lint out of your painted surface. Proper absorbency and release are crucial. For working with alkyd paint or lacquer, we recommend the Copenhagen felt roller or the Anza felt roller.
