To prime or not to prime...that is the question

<< < (2/3) > >>

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?
