Q. Why are tinted primers a different shade to the top coat?
A. Tinted primers are often a different shade than the top coat paint for several reasons:
- Enhanced Coverage: The primary purpose of a primer is to provide a uniform base for the top coat. A tinted primer, while not an exact match to the top coat, is typically formulated to be a complementary colour that helps improve the coverage of the final paint.
- Improved Adhesion: Tinted primers help improve the adhesion of the top coat by providing a surface that is more compatible with the colour and texture of the final paint. This enhances the longevity and durability of the finish.
- Colour Enhancement: The tint in the primer is chosen to enhance or complement the top coat colour, helping to bring out the true hue of the finish. In many cases, this will result in the primer being a slightly lighter or different shade to avoid altering the final colour's vibrancy.
- Sealing and Stain Blocking: Tinted primers often have added stain-blocking properties, and their colour may be adjusted to help conceal underlying stains or imperfections. The lighter shade can provide better concealment without interfering with the top coat's appearance.
- Full Top Coat Coverage: The primer's colour is intentionally different to ensure complete coverage of the top coat, enhancing its appearance and ensuring the surface benefits from the top coat's protective properties.
In summary, the tinted primer’s purpose is to improve the finish, not to match the top coat exactly, which is why it may appear as a lighter or different shade.
Q. Can Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 be painted onto ceramic tiles?
A. Yes this is the recommended product for ceramic tiles, we would not recommend painting tiles in constant contact with water such as shower areas. These areas would wear quickly, however this paint will withstand humidity making it perfect for other areas in your bathroom or kitchen.
Q. Can Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 be applied onto glossed surfaces?
A. Yes! This can be applied onto the glossed surfaces without sanding.
