The best application method depends on the surface, condition, and the desired finish. In the case of new fine finishes like interior wood trim, doors, and cabinets we use the spray method since it leaves no brush or roller marks. However, this can vary based on the customer's needs. For instance, if large pets live in the home, brushing and rolling may be more practical for easier touch-ups. We typically use a spray and backroll method to ensure proper coverage and adhesion for exterior surfaces and interior ceilings.

Priming is typically necessary for several reasons. First, it ensures proper adhesion, helping the paint stick to the surface. This is especially important when applying water-based paint over existing oil-based paint, a common scenario in Santa Barbara and Ventura. Without a primer, the new paint can easily peel away. An oil-based primer is needed to bond with the old oil paint, creating a surface the new paint can adhere to.

Second, priming provides proper coverage and stain hiding. Primers have stain-blocking additives that prevent existing stains from showing through the new paint. This ensures a clean, flawless finish.

Third, primers enhance color strength. They help resist sun fade and prevent raw materials from soaking up the color pigments, ensuring your paint job remains vibrant and durable.

Always. A tidy work environment is essential for a successful project.
