Paint and Primer in One

Paint and Primer products are self-priming on most properly prepared surfaces. While the high quality of our products sometimes makes one-coat coverage achievable, Benjamin Moore® recommends two coats to achieve full colour development and to optimize performance. On bare substrates, two coats are recommended; previously painted surfaces can be finished with 1 or 2 coats.

Special Note: Certain custom colours may require a Deep Base Primer tinted to a special prescription formula to achieve the desired colour. Ask your retailer about our special purpose primers if the surface to be painted is water stained, smoke damaged, grease stained or very slick.
