A PRIMER is your best defense under light-colored paint.

Remember, NEVER EVER paint an existing piece of furniture with a light paint without proper preparation AND a stain blocking primer. Topcoats can activate tannins in the wood, or dyes in the previous finish, causing yellow or pink bleed-through. We recommend General Finishes Stain Blocker, which has been developed specifically for upcycling furniture and has proven to be 100% effective when two coats are applied, or Zinsser BIN.

Enduro White Undercoat is a physical primer, as compared to Stain Blocker which is a chemical primer. White Undercoat is interior and exterior rated and tintable. The high solids, heavy-bodied formula facilitates a fast film build and easy sanding.
