- Perfect Preparation & Application Primers & Undercoats
Our Primers & Undercoats are formulated with each of our colours and finishes in mind, using the same high-quality ingredients and water bases as our paint.
If you need further detail, please have a read of ourProduct Advice Sheets.
The Benefits
RICHER COLOUROur Primers & Undercoats are available in up to four tones: White & Light Tones, Mid Tones, Red & Warm Tones, and Dark Tones. Each one is made with a careful balance of pigments, and between them they bring out the best in our entire palette of colours, adding richness and depth for that signature Farrow & Ball look.
EXCEPTIONAL COVERAGEBecause they begin with the same rich pigments and water base as our paints, our Primers & Undercoats help your chosen colour to adhere effortlessly to the surface you’re painting, giving you a smooth, even finish and unrivalled coverage.
INCREASED DURABILITY
A little of our richly pigmented paint goes a long way when you use Primer & Undercoat – as well as aiding coverage and adhesion, it also gives a longer-lasting finish than paint alone, meaning you won’t have to redecorate as often.
Using Primer & Undercoat
We recommend using Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat wherever you’re using a Farrow & Ball topcoat. Not only is it specially formulated to bring out the very best in our paint, but keeping to the same brand for your priming and painting products will help to avoid any incompatibility issues.
For the best finish, we recommend following the Farrow & Ball system
- One coat of our Primer & Undercoat in the recommended tone (this can be found on the back of your colour card, or on the product page for your chosen topcoat colour)
- Two coats of your chosen paint colour
