What color primer should you use?

Orange. Why are you using a primer? If the walls are already painted, just apply 2 coats of the paint that you want to use. If you use primer, have the paint store tint the primer toward the orange color that you have chosen.


Can you paint copper?

You can use any kind of enamel paint, but I would recommend an oil based paint, remove all oil, dirt, grease, dust and simply paint. (spray painting will give you a better finish)


What is the purpose of primecoat?

It depends... but here are a few examples and which primer to use.Drywall Primer: This primer's purpose is to seal new drywall so that the next 2 coats of paint end up creating a nice even finish. If you don't have access to drywall primer you could always just use regular paint… however it is best to use a flat finish paint since it dries faster and has a rougher finish which will help make the papered drywall and joints blend in better.Bonding Primer: This primer's purpose is to create adherence between a surface and a finish paint that would normally not have been able to stick well together. Metal Doors and surfaces with existing Oil Paint (if you want to go with a Latex top coat) are 2 examples of surfaces that would required such a primer. Before applying a bonding primer you should also scuff sand the surface so to allow better adherence of the bonding primer."Grey" Primer: Those primers are essentially plain drywall primers to which you add various shades of grey. The purpose of those primers is to serve as an undertone for darker/brighter colors. Darker/Brighter colors tend to not cover as well and never really end up giving the surface a 100% coverage. It is best to consult the paint manufacturer from where the color was choosen to identify which "grey" primer to use. I write "grey" in brackets because the range of grey primers goes from White to Dark Grey.Oil Primer: Oil primers are mostly used outside on bare wood. An oil primer takes more time to dry (compared to latex primer), giving it more time to penetrate the wood and create a good bond for the finish paint.Hope this helps :)Happy Painting

Can you paint red over grey walls?

Yes. Normally, you'd want to put a grey primer on prior to painting a wall red because most reds cover poorly, but the grey will keep light from reflecting back through the red paint, giving the illusion of good coverage. Be sure to apply the paint evenly and always work to a wet edge to avoid lap marks which would require applying another coat.

What are the best techniques for applying grey primer paint to achieve a smooth and even finish on a variety of surfaces?

The best techniques for applying grey primer paint to achieve a smooth and even finish on different surfaces include: Proper surface preparation: Clean and sand the surface to remove any imperfections or debris. Use a high-quality primer: Choose a grey primer specifically designed for the type of surface you are painting. Apply primer in thin, even coats: Use a paintbrush or roller to apply the primer in smooth, overlapping strokes. Allow proper drying time between coats: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying times before applying additional coats. Sand between coats: Lightly sand the surface between coats to ensure a smooth finish. Use the right tools: Use high-quality brushes or rollers to achieve a professional finish. Practice good painting techniques: Work in small sections, maintain a consistent pressure, and avoid overloading the brush or roller with paint.
