Q. Does Sandtex 10 Year Primer Undercoat improve the paint performance?

A. Using a primer and undercoat before applying the final coat of paint helps to improve the performance and longevity of the paint. Sandtex 10 Year Primer Undercoat prepares the surface by filling imperfections, sealing porous surfaces, and creating a smooth and consistent base. This enhances the adherence and coverage of the topcoat, resulting in a more even and professional-looking finish.
