World of Primers

A good paint job starts long before the final colour goes on the wall. The primer is what prepares the surface for the paint that follows. It helps seal pores, improve adhesion and create a more even base for the topcoat. Whether you are painting a new home, refreshing an old wall or dealing with exterior surfaces, choosing the right primer paint for walls can make a noticeable difference to the final finish.

Macaw Paints offers primers for different surfaces and painting requirements. Amendo Interior Primer is designed for interior masonry surfaces, where it helps reduce porosity, improve adhesion and enhance topcoat coverage. It is also alkali-resistant and provides a smooth, non-absorbent surface for the paint to follow. Dura Fill Interior Primer is another water-based option that helps improve adhesion and topcoat coverage, with an approximate coverage of 100–110 sq.ft./L/1 coat.

For exterior walls, Amendo Alkali-Block Exterior Primer is made to seal pores, improve adhesion and help block alkali in masonry surfaces. It also helps resist fungus and algae formation on exterior walls. Dura Fill Exterior Primer is a water-based primer suitable for cementitious exterior surfaces and helps provide better adhesion and coverage for the topcoat.
