Drywall Primers is a production grade primer designed to help produce a uniform surface on commercial and residential drywall. The off-white formulation improves wet and dry hide, while the contrast allows applicators to easily spot check texture consistency. Formulated specifically for priming under texture, it is not intended for use under wall coverings.
- Performance & Features
- Improved Texture Application
- Consistent Textured Finish
- Ideal for Flat Finishes
- Can Help Meet LEED v4 Credits
- Benefits
- Improved Consistency: Formulated to seal drywall prior to texturing. The stock off-white color allows for easier spot-checking of texture consistency during application.
- Acceptable Finish Coats: Designed specifically for application under texture products, it provides a good seal for flat finishes only.
- Environmentally Responsible Product: This zero-VOC finish meets the performance needs of contractors, specifiers, and general contractors looking to meet the strictest air quality standards.

- Applications
Drying Time: (75º F. & 50% R.H.)
- To touch: 1 Hour
- To recoat: 2 Hours
Extended drying time may be expected when conditions such as high humidity, high dew point, low temperature, etc. are present. Allow product to dry thoroughly before top coating
Theoretical Coverage:
Apply at 200 sq. ft./gal. to achieve- 6.0 mils Wet Film Thickness
- 2.3 mils Dry Film Thickness
When calculating working coverage, allow for application losses, texture and porosity of surface, application technique, etc.
- Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be dry, clean and free of dust, dirt, grease, oil, chalk, efflorescence or any other contaminants that may prevent proper adhesion. Tape joints and nailheads should be sanded and dusted clean before finishing. Mud on joints and nailheads must be thoroughly cured before finishing to help avoid photographing.
Warning! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. Lead is toxic. Exposure to lead dust can cause serious illness, such as brain damage, especially in children. Pregnant women should also avoid exposure. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop.
- Finishing Recommendations
Note: For best results, always prime bare drywall prior to texture application to ensure an even and uniform appearance.
Orange Peel, Spatter Textures: Classic Spatter Kote, 369; Premium Spatter Kote, 370. Knockdown, Skip Trowel Textures: Premium Spatter Kote, 370.
- Application
Mix thoroughly before use. Apply by brush, roller, or airless spray or conventional spray. Flow and leveling is best achieved by applying a full, uniform coating and working to a wet edge using overlapping strokes. Do not brush or roll excessively. Surfaces should be dry prior to paint application. Reducing material for spray application should not exceed 10%. All products are formulated ready for application. If needed, thin sparingly and do not exceed 2oz per gallon. Clean all applicators with water immediately after use.
