GLOSSARY TERM
Primer
A preparatory coating applied before the main paint, enhancing adhesion and durability.
INFO
What it is
A primer is a preparatory coating applied to a surface before the main paint. It seals the substrate, improves adhesion, and provides a sound foundation for the coats that follow.
Why it matters
The right primer is often the difference between a coating that lasts and one that fails. It helps the system bond to the substrate, blocks stains, and protects metal, setting up the whole finish for success.
Where it is used on a project
Used on bare, repaired, or difficult surfaces, with the type, such as metal, stain-blocking, or adhesion primer, matched to the substrate.
How NECC approaches it
We select and apply the correct primer for each substrate as part of the system, giving the topcoat a sound, well-bonded foundation for a durable finish.
