What is the role of primer, topcoat, and latex paint?

According to the function, the paint is generally divided into four kinds (from bottom to top): closed, primer, middle coating, topcoat.

Closed: used for wood substrate, closed isolation effect.

Primer: Fill and increase thickness and other functions such as rust prevention. If it is latex paint, it has the effect of alkali and mildew.

In the coating: increase the thickness, more common in floor paint, and some other special functions, such as anti-static.

Topcoats: decorative and aesthetically pleasing, surface decorative and protective and wear-resistant.

Latex paint is divided into primer and topcoat. The primer has anti-alkali and plasticizing effects. However, it is not necessary to use primers. This is mainly from the economic point of view. The primer is generally used in conjunction with high-grade topcoats, and if a low-end finish is used, there is no need for a primer. The primer is more expensive than the topcoat. Is it necessary to use a primer? Even if you brush, because the topcoat is too bad, it does not show the benefits of brush primer.

If you choose the middle and low end finishes, it is recommended not to brush the primer, brush is also a white brush, white flowers save money. 2-3 coats of paint are enough.
