Sherwin Williams Acrylic and Alkyd Primers

Posted on March 19, 2019

Sherwin Williams offers acrylic and alkyd primers, both of which are great in different situations. Acrylics can be used as a general purpose primer on most raw surfaces to ensure and improve adhesion, bond longevity and finish coat leveling and presentation. Acrylic primers are better suited for quick general coating to prep an area for a color change.

Alkyd primers are better suited to address areas that have deep stains that need to be covered or blocked. Alkyd based primers are also better suited for areas that need to be sealed prior to coating, such as areas that are saturated with grease, nicotine, soot, glue, food residue, heavy crayon markings, and pencil or Sharpe markings.
