Review Primer Performance

all right now i'm going to give you some of my final thoughts about benjamin moore's fresh start primer we've been using the product now and i just got done doing an accent wall and i'm gonna give you some of the thoughts about using the product on that accent well i'm gonna start off by saying one of the things i do really like about the primer is that it is tintable so this is a white a base and they also have a deep base and you can tint both of the products so if you want it tinted a really dark color you can tint it a dark color and if you're going to use a lighter color like this it is tentable and that's uh that comes into play when you're gonna be doing really dark accent walls or vibrant colors it's really important to get a good undercoat so it's tentable and i really like that this fresh start is tintable so another thing i do like about the product uh we did tent it i put um some black in there we got a great undercoat you know for our accent wall and the the product covered absolutely amazing so the gray covered amazing and the white cover is amazing so if you want a primer that covers really well so if you're going over the top of a dark color or vibrant color and you want that to cover well this product is going to be a product that's going to perform really well for you another thing that was really high on my list is is splattering or spattering paints that splatter or spatter are messy paints they do just cause you all kinds of headaches and once again you just stand a chance of getting paint on the floors if you're not dropping things or just getting paint all over the place in general especially if you're painting overhead i do gotta say the accent wall that we were painting i had this tinted i think i had two ounces of black put in there to make this a p4 gray and after rolling that wall i didn't notice any splatter or spatter on the tape or the paper or on the drop cloth at all so i think it's spatter resistance is absolutely amazing another thing that's really important when it comes to primers is the primer's ability to bond to the surface that it's going over and one thing i noticed with this product it did bond extremely well and one of those just unscientific tests that i typically do is if i get paint on my hands yo how well does it clean off i did get some of the primer all over my hands and it was extremely difficult to get off um i did some scratch tests and adhesion tests on the walls it was definitely on there for good it's…
