SUNNYVALE — Host, Sarah Rutan: If you’re planning to tackle a home painting project, there’s one vital aspect you won’t want to neglect. Today we’re in Sunnyvale with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Ken Slosarik of El Gato Painting &amp; Restoration to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Ken Slosarik: Okay, so one of my biggest suggestions for people that are going to tackle a job themselves is priming. A lot of times, the problems I see on our jobs are because of peeling paint. And peeling paint happens when &#8211; most of the time &#8211; it&#8217;s not primed properly. So, after you scrape it off and get any bare wood or bare dry wall interior or exterior &#8211; so, when you&#8217;re down to the bare surface &#8211; that&#8217;s where primer&#8217;s needed. Because a primer stabilizes the surface and gives the paint a surface to stick to. Primer and paint work as a team. The primer stabilizes it and the paint gives it ultraviolet protection. So, that&#8217;s one of the most important things I think anybody can do to help themselves on a paint job.
