Begin your painting project with confidence using HQC Stabilising Primer, designed for effortless application by both beginners and professionals with a brush, roller, or spray gun. Suitable for interior and exterior use, it’s particularly effective on old plaster, weathered masonry, peeling paintwork, powdery substrates, and other challenging outdoor surfaces. For the best results, preparation is key: ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, or loose material before application. To achieve perfect adhesion and durability with HQC Paint, follow three simple preparation steps—first, clean, repair, and sand pre-painted surfaces, applying a base coat or primer on fresh plaster, wood, or metal (a mist coat can be made by thinning the paint with 50% water); second, fill and repair any wall cracks to minimise the risk of damp; and third, make sure surfaces are completely dry, dust-free, and free from condensation or flaking paint. Remember, mould, condensation, and damp will return if underlying issues like poor ventilation or water ingress aren’t addressed. With proper preparation, HQC Stabilising Primer provides a stable, long-lasting base for your topcoat.
