Can I use other brands of paint on top of this primer?

The quick-drying formula allows for recoating in a relatively short time, though exact times depend on ambient temperature and humidity.

Is this a low-VOC product?

Troubleshooting

Primer is not sticking to the surface.

Ensure the surface was cleaned of grease and dust, and perform a light sanding to create a key for the primer.

Visible brush marks after drying.

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the product once it begins to set.

Paint finish appears uneven.

Check that the surface is fully dry and apply a second coat if the first layer has been absorbed into a highly porous surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion on difficult surfaces like plastic and uPVC
  • Suitable for both interior and exterior use
  • Environmentally conscious plant-based formulation
  • High opacity covers existing colours effectively
  • Dries quickly for faster project completion

Cons

  • Best performance achieved when paired specifically with Mylands topcoats

  • Limited to the specific Mylands product ecosystem

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or flaking paint before application. For glossy surfaces, a light sanding will improve mechanical adhesion. Apply using a high-quality brush, roller, or sprayer depending on the size of the project. This primer is fully compatible with Mylands Plant-Based paint finishes. After application, clean brushes and equipment with warm soapy water immediately while the product is still wet. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
