PRIMERS: A primer or undercoat is a preparatory coating applied to surfaces, prior to finishing. Priming ensures adhesion of paint to the substrate, increases paint durability, and provides additional protection, an even coloured and protected surface. Often, topcoats will not perform as desired, unless properly primed. Most finish coats adhere properly to an appropriate primer selection. Primers are available as custom colour match or standard colour aerosols, brush in bottle, touch-up pens and gallons. Standard Colour Chart

LACQUERS: Lacquer is a clear or coloured wood coating. It also adheres well to plastics, metals, and fiber glass. It dries by solvent evaporation that produces a hard, durable finish. It is available in a full range of sheens. The general rule is (as with most paint products) that the more shiny the finish, the more durable it is, though it also shows more imperfections. Fashion trends also effect the choice of sheen. It is also used for “lacquer paint”, which is a paint that typically dries better on a hard and smooth surface, and is the most durable. The advantage of acrylic lacquer over solvent based is its exceptionally fast drying time. Lacquers are available as custom colour match or standard colour aerosols, brush in bottle, touch-up pens and gallons. Standard Colour Chart
