Preparing Your Surfaces

New Drywall and Wallboard: Tape joints should be sanded smooth and even with the drywall or wallboard. Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe tape joints and all wallboard surfaces to remove all sanding dust. Be sure to remove all chalky residue before priming. Allow to dry, then prime. For previously painted surfaces remove all dirt, dust, grease and oils by using a non-residue cleaner to clean the surface. Scrape off any loose, cracked or peeling paint. Patch cracks and nail holes. Sand smooth, then spot prime.

Valspar Drywall Latex Primer 4.6 5 50 63
Great Product Valspar Latex Primer is a great product. In my experience with this product, it provided excellent coverage with minimal product. I would definitely recommend the product and would certainly use it again myself. May 8, 2013
Great product! We bought this product when we fixed a big water leakage in our apartment. It spread well, so it was really easy to apply for amateur like us. Also, we liked the color and the way it looked so much that we decided to leave it without a paint over on it. April 29, 2013
LOVE! Great product! Used it throughout the house. Didn't have a strong odor and it all came out wonderfully! Worked well to remove all of the scuffs and kids' drawings on the walls. Only needed one coat, too. April 25, 2013
Good Primer This primer is really effective, makes everything look great! I would buy again and recommend April 25, 2013
Great!!!!! :) This product is amazing and would buy this product again. :) April 24, 2013
great coverage i used this to cover some really ugly bright fluorescent paint in a house i was renting and i was for sure it would be a lost cause and the color would bleed through but i was very surprised with one swipe of the roller it covered it up. very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

Primer/Sealer Works awesome, finish coat looked professionally done thanks to this product April 24, 2013
Great product! I was skeptical about even needing to use this product on my the walls of my new home because after asking 5 different people if I even needed primer, I got 5 different answers. I decided to be safe rather than sorry and used the primer. The results were fantastic! It covered great, was easy to apply and my paint job came out looking great! I highly recommend using this on new walls prior to painting! April 24, 2013
