Valspar, a leading paint and coatings business, today announced the release of Valspar Oil-Based Primer + Sealer, a high-performance primer that provides excellent stain blocking, strong adhesion, and dependable surface preparation for interior projects. This new primer, available in a variety of sizes and formats, rounds out Valspar’s existing primer array, underscoring the company’s commitment to offering the best solution for every surface and project. Valspar Oil-Based Primer + Sealer is now available online and in-store. “A beautiful finish starts with the right foundation,” said Krystal Mindeck, Valspar Product Marketing Director. “Our new Oil-Based Primer + Sealer completes our wide primer portfolio, providing pros with a versatile choice that blocks the hardest stains, increases adhesion, and improves the performance of Valspar topcoats. It’s another way we’re making it easier to get long-lasting, professional-quality outcomes in every setting.”

Valspar Oil-Based Primer + Sealer (Paint) is a quick-drying primer suitable for a variety of interior applications. It repels tenacious stains and aromas, such as tannins, dampness, grease, and smoke, while also offering great adhesion and sandability for a smooth, long-lasting finish that effectively covers tiny flaws, allowing topcoats to apply uniformly and operate optimally. Available in quart, 1-gallon, and 5-gallon containers, this flexible primer can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed on for easy application, making it an excellent choice for properly prepared drywall, wood, and plaster surfaces.

Valspar Oil-Based Primer + Sealer (Aerosol) delivers the same effective stain and odor-blocking performance in a handy spray container. This primer comes in a 12 oz. aerosol and dries to the touch in 30 minutes, making it ideal for speedy projects and targeted applications. It sands readily to a smooth finish, repels harsh stains and odors, and adheres well to wood, stone, and metal surfaces. The aerosol format allows accurate application, increasing flexibility and ease.
