A tinted primer will not necessarily be the same colour as your selected topcoat. It will be tinted towards the topcoat colour and generally lighter in shade. For example if your topcoat is black your primer may be a shade of grey. If you are unsure about when a tinted primer is required please contact us and we can advise further.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterior walls and ceilings in areas that require exceptional durability and frequent cleaning, including kitchens, bathrooms, hospitals, swimming pools and other high-traffic spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for humid environments, as well as public and commercial settings such as hospital corridors, patient rooms, reception areas and food processing facilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse on concrete, filler treated, brick, cardboard, plaster*, chipboard and wood fibre board, on both new and previously painted substrates.
