Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it necessary to use Emperor Exterior Primer?

Bare, unpainted surface must be primed using Emperor Exterior Masonry Primer before painting to ensure that coloured Emperor Masonry Paint is not absorbed into the render of the building. Not using a primer before apply paint will mean you can achieve a patchy finish.

How do I apply Emperor Exterior Primer?

Use a paint roller, brush or pump sprayer. Apply to dry surfaces in temperatures above 5ยฐC. Always avoid working in direct sunlight on hot days โ€“ it is much better to work in the shade.

Does applying The Primer mean I get a Lifetime Guarantee?

If you use Emperor Exterior Masonry Primer on bare, unpainted surface before applying Emperor Masonry Paint, you will be covered by theย Lifetime Guarantee we offer, ensuring you take all other necessary steps in the application process.
