To prime or not to prime...that is the question
greywolf22:
Yup in complete agreement, with both the Prime and the gun :)
cbmeeks:
I don't have access to a gun but I will probably prime. :-)
fredster:
vote prime.
Walmart makes a spray can for $0.94 that works okay. Take at least 5 of them. Sand it with a 300 grit paper before you put your final coat. It saves the good paint you don't have to use as much of it, and it costs a lot more.
REBIRTH:
PRIME!!! Not only does the resulting paint job look much better, and with less coats of paint - but the primer will also help keep out moisture. This is important if you have your cabinet in a basement or something like that.
Primer on wallboard/walls is great for hiding old paint and making the new paint nicer looking - but I feel it is even more necessary on something like MDF or wood.
DennisInMN:
I'm planning on priming/painting my cab this weekend. Would you suggest multiple coats of primer/paint or would one coat of primer with a couple coats of paint do the trick?
