For new drywall surfaces or patched walls use two coats of an all purpose stain blocking drywall primer before applying our Limeproof Undercoat Primer.

Portola Paints All Purpose and Limeproof Undercoat Primer can both be applied in the same fashion. It can be applied using a brush, roller or even sprayed onto the surface. The most common application for both would be rolled onto the surface.

It is always best to apply two coats of appropriate primer with a ⅜ to ½ nap roller for primer to ensure the best possible primer coat for the corresponding finish.

Store and keep out of reach of children. As with all paints it is important to protect yourself by wearing protective eye wear and masks during preparatory work such as scraping and sanding. During application, use protective eye wear as it can irritate the eyes.

Make sure you properly seal your can when finished between coats and once you are completed with your application. Please make sure you store the can in a cool area out of direct sunlight.
