Asian Paints TruCare Interior Wall Primer is a water-thinnable white primer that seals and prepares interior masonry for paint.

The 20 litre bucket covers about 2,400–2,800 sq ft per coat, which suits large interior projects. It is for interior walls only.

1) Do I really need primer before painting?
Yes, primer is essential for professional results. It seals porous surfaces, improves paint adhesion, reduces paint consumption by 20–30%, ensures uniform colour and prevents patchiness. Skipping primer leads to poor coverage, higher costs and shorter paint life.
2) How much primer do I need for my project?
Coverage is 120–140 sq ft per litre per coat, so 1,000 sq ft needs about 7–8 litres. The 20L bucket covers 2,400–2,800 sq ft, which suits a 2–3 bedroom apartment or a small commercial space. Add 10% extra for wastage.
3) Can I use this primer on exterior walls?
No. TruCare Interior Wall Primer is for interior walls only. It lacks the weather-resistant binders and UV stabilisers needed outdoors, so it can chalk and break down in rain and cause the topcoat to peel. For exterior walls, use TruCare Exterior Wall Primer.
4) How much water should I add, and how long does the thinned primer last?
Thin 1:1 by volume with clean water — 1 part primer to 1 part water, so a 20 L bucket takes 20 L of water. Use the thinned primer within 24 hours, so mix only what you need for the day.
5) How long should I wait before painting after the primer?
The primer is tack-free in about 30 minutes, but wait 4–6 hours before applying the topcoat. Painting on damp primer causes poor adhesion, bubbling and an uneven finish. Allow longer in humid conditions or thick applications.
6) Can I skip primer if I'm painting over old paint?
Not recommended. Primer improves adhesion even on painted surfaces, especially if the old paint is glossy or in poor condition. Lightly sand the old paint, clean thoroughly, apply primer, then the topcoat.
