Why is Wheatherproof paint sealer neccesary?

Painting a wall is not as simple as taking up a brush and some paint and getting started. To complete a paint job precisely and to ensure that the paint lasts for a long time, extensive pre-painting preparation is necessary. Before you apply the first coat of colour, your surface needs to be well cleaned and undercoated. In order to do that, you must determine whether a primer, paint sealer, undercoat, or weatherproof paint must be used prior to the first layer of paint.

As a result, the final paintbrush strokes and the final appearance will be immediately impacted. So, in order to assist you learn more about waterproof paint, here is a guide. What are a paint sealer and a primer?

Primer paint

When applied directly to the surface before painting, primer paint functions as waterproof paint. The top layer and the substrate adhere well to a priming paint application. It also serves as a sealant since it shields surfaces from moisture and, if applied to a steel surface, prevents corrosion. Additionally, it stops paint from penetrating the substrate.  

Surface before applying primer paint

Make sure the surface is thoroughly cleaned to ensure the primer performs at its best. To do this, use a moist cloth to wash the surface 24 hours before applying the first layer of primer to get rid of all dust buildup. 

Before beginning to apply the first layer of weatherproof paint, make sure that any holes and cracks in the surface are filled with spackle.

If the surface is glossy, sand it to provide a superior surface that can provide a good bind to the paint because glossy paint surfaces are challenging to paint over. Before painting over the surface, remember to clear the sand grit. 

Paint sealer 

Before applying primer to the foundation surface, paint sealer is used to provide a substrate for the primer. It is employed in order to create a strong bond between the substrate and the primer.  Additionally, it functions best when applied to a surface that cannot be used for direct painting work. Alternatively, using sealer paint on a porous surface simplifies the painting process. Additionally, it can be used to seal and hold onto any waxes present in the substrate and safeguard the painted surface against stains.

Undercoat paint

It is applied to strengthen the binding between the top coat of paint and the primer or paint sealer. It is used for this purpose prior to the first coat of paint. Additionally, it improves the qualities of sealer and priming paints by making the substrate moisture-proof and smoothing out any minor flaws.
