I am ready to start painting my new house. The plastering is all done and the joints are sanded, do I need to use a sealer before painting the top-coats, or can I just paint 2 top-coats of wall paint?
For the best possible job, it is necessary to use the appropriate undercoat/sealer, followed by 2 coats of the appropriate top-coat. This system will allow the products you purchase from Haymes to perform at their best. In some cases, the undercoat/sealer is not applied in an attempt to cut the costs of the job. However an undercoat/sealer will always give a superior job in terms of finish and durability. When painting outside, the story is slightly different. All paint manufacturers have formulated finishes that can be applied directly too most surfaces, including plaster, with no undercoat or primer required. However if you do choose to use the appropriate undercoat or primer outside, you will achieve a far superior finish.
