How to Prime and Paint Closets in New Construction Like a Pro

What happens here

After completing the priming and sanding of the wooden shelves, the user extends the priming process to the drywall walls within the closet. Prior to application, a respirator is donned to ensure personal safety against the fumes from the oil-based primer. The same Zinsser Cover Stain Primer in a spray can is used to apply an even and thorough coat to the drywall surfaces, preparing the entire closet interior for the subsequent painting phase.

Goal: The user then applies the same oil-based spray primer to the drywall walls of the closet, wearing a respirator for safety.
