Product Description

Asian Paints TruCare Interior Wall Primer is a professional-grade water-thinnable white primer formulated to seal and prepare masonry surfaces for optimal paint adhesion. The high-coverage formula (120-140 sqft per litre) makes the 20-litre bucket ideal for large projects, covering approximately 2400-2800 sqft.

The quick-drying formulation allows for fast project completion with touch-dry in 20 minutes and surface-dry in 30 minutes. Excellent sealing properties prevent paint absorption into porous surfaces, reducing topcoat consumption while ensuring uniform color and finish.

Application Guidelines

FAQs

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 color, 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?

Calculate based on 120-140 sqft per litre. For a 1000 sqft area, you'll need approximately 7-8 litres. The 20L bucket covers 2400-2800 sqft, ideal for 2-3 bedroom apartments or small commercial spaces. Add 10% extra for wastage.

3) Can I use interior primer on exterior walls?

While TruCare Interior Primer works on both surfaces, for harsh exterior conditions, use dedicated exterior primer like Asian Paints TruCare Exterior Wall Primer for better weather resistance, UV protection, and durability against rain and humidity.

4) 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 conditions or thick applications, allow longer drying time. Applying paint on damp primer causes poor adhesion, bubbling, and uneven finish.

5) Can I skip primer if I'm painting over old paint?

Not recommended. Primer improves adhesion even on painted surfaces, especially if old paint is glossy or in poor condition. For repainting, lightly sand old paint, clean thoroughly, apply primer, then topcoat for best results and longevity.

6) Why is my primer coverage less than specified?

Common causes: (1) Highly porous or rough surfaces absorb more primer, (2) Insufficient thinning makes primer too thick, (3) Over-application or multiple coats, (4) Poor surface preparation. Ensure proper thinning and even application for optimal coverage.

7) Can I tint primer to match my paint color?

Yes, tinting primer to a shade close to your topcoat improves coverage, especially for dark or vibrant colors. Consult paint dealer for tinting services. However, white primer works well for most light to medium colors.
