A primer is essentially a protective layer that you apply before the first coat of paint. If you are painting over an already painted surface, you may be able to avoid a primer altogether by using a 2-in-1 paint and primer product. However, if you are painting a surface that has never been painted before or changing the paint or finish type, it would be a good idea to prepare the surface using a traditional primer. Primers should also be used when painting over hard, smooth surfaces like glass or tile. All three types of primers, oil-based, latex-based, and shellac-based, can be used under latex paint.
