GLOSSARY TERM
Self-Priming Paint
Paint that includes primer properties, eliminating the need for a separate primer coat.
INFO
What it is
Self-priming paint combines the properties of a primer and a topcoat in a single product. On suitable surfaces it can prime and finish in one system, removing the need for a separate primer.
Why it matters
By cutting out a separate priming step, self-priming paint can save time and coats on the right surfaces. However, demanding or bare substrates may still need a dedicated primer for best results.
Where it is used on a project
Useful on sound, previously coated surfaces where conditions allow a primer and topcoat to be combined, speeding up the work.
How NECC approaches it
We judge each surface on its merits, using self-priming products where they suit and a dedicated primer where the substrate demands it, always aiming for a sound, lasting result.
