Water-Based vs Solvent-Based Primer

A great paint finish starts with the right primer!

Choosing the wrong primer is one of the most common and costly painting mistakes. Understanding the difference can help you achieve a longer-lasting, professional-looking result.

Water-Based Primer

Ideal for new interior plaster, ceiling stains, and most interior surfaces. It offers lower VOCs, faster drying times, and easy clean-up. Prominent Paints Ultra Prime is a trusted choice for alkali-resistant applications on interior substrates and first-time painted Chromadek roof sheets and cladding.

Solvent-Based Primer

Best suited for new exterior unpainted plaster, timber, and surfaces with existing oil-based coatings. It provides superior adhesion on porous, non-porous, and problematic surfaces.
