Trying to choose between a sealer and a primer can be difficult. The first step is to ask yourself the result you want once your painting job is finished. If you are looking for a high gloss, shiny finish, the best choice would be a sealer. A primer would work better if you want a matte or satin-finished look.
When it comes to durability, a sealer will also last longer. If you are looking for a project that will last for many years, then a sealer is the way to go. However, if you are willing to put in some extra maintenance and upkeep, a primer can also be a good choice. Continue reading to find out more!
Benefits of Sealers
Prevents Color from Fading: Sun and weather can take their toll on the paint in exterior painting. A sealer will help prolong the life of your paint job and keep it looking new for longer.
Makes Cleaning Easier: Without a sealer, you may need to use harsher chemicals or scrub harder to get the grime and dirt come right off.
Lasts Longer: A sealer will provide an extra layer of protection against everyday wear and tear. This means that you won’t have to repaint as often.
Resistance to Stains: Whether it’s from food, drink, or accidental spills, a sealer can help keep your paint looking fresh.
Benefits of Primers
Smoother Finish: A primer will help to create a smooth surface for your paint to adhere to. This means there will be less chance of the paint chipping or peeling over time.
Reduce Painting Time: A good primer can help the paint cover evenly and completely for exterior or interior painting, speeding up the painting process.
Helps Hide Imperfections: A primer can help cover small scratches, dings, and other blemishes on the surface you are painting.
