Application Guidelines

1) What makes exterior primer different from interior primer?

Exterior primer has enhanced weather resistance, UV protection, and non-chalking formula to withstand rain, humidity, and sun exposure. Interior primer lacks these features. Always use exterior-specific primer for outdoor applications for maximum durability.

2) Do I need to cure the wall before applying exterior primer?

No, TruCare Exterior Primer requires no water-curing, unlike traditional cement-based primers. Simply ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. This saves time and simplifies the painting process, especially for large projects.

3) How long should I wait before painting after primer application?

Wait minimum 30 minutes for surface-dry, 2-4 hours for optimal results. In humid or rainy conditions, allow longer drying time. Applying paint on damp primer causes poor adhesion, bubbling, and premature failure.

4) Can I use exterior primer on interior walls?

Yes, exterior primer works on interior walls but is more expensive than interior-specific primers. For cost-effectiveness, use interior primer indoors and reserve exterior primer for outdoor applications where weather resistance is essential.

5) Why is my exterior paint peeling after a few months?

Common causes: (1) Skipping primer or using interior primer outdoors, (2) Painting on damp surfaces, (3) Poor surface preparation, (4) Applying paint before primer fully dries, or (5) Using low-quality topcoat. Always use proper exterior primer for long-lasting results.

6) How much primer do I need for my exterior walls?

Calculate based on 120-140 sqft per litre. For a 2000 sqft exterior, you'll need approximately 14-17 litres. The 20L bucket covers 2400-2800 sqft, ideal for medium-sized homes. Add 10-15% extra for wastage and rough surfaces.

7) Can I apply exterior primer in rainy season?

Not recommended. Apply primer only when weather is dry and no rain is expected for 24-48 hours. Rain on fresh primer washes it away and causes uneven coverage. Plan exterior painting during dry season for best results and longevity.
