Valspar Bare Wood Primer 4.7 5 18 20
Fantastic Product! Easy to Use! I used this at my workplace to refinish some of the wooden office furniture I had and it felt like the paint just did it itself! The strokes were effortless and the paint stayed on without dripping all over the place causing a mess. It left a beautiful surface sealing all the rough feeling or pores! I definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking to repaint wooden surfaces! It works great! May 6, 2013
FULL COVERAGE I find this primer to be great for wood projects. I found a bare wooden shadow box at a yard sale and used this primer, it glides on easily and offers great coverage. I highly recommend. April 29, 2013
