Up here everyone primes before texture and anything new gets sprayed real light. If I go in and whine about priming or spray it heavy then I won't get the next job. I love when people argue about how there is no money to do it the way I do, I dont get on here and tell the guy in the mid-west or east coast that there way is wrong to spray some kd and not prime first and theres no money in it that way, cause I have no clue what they get for $$ out there. I understand thats the standard in their market. Alot of the posters on here are know it alls and thats fine, just know that you don't know whats going on everywhere. And on we continue
completely agree...

one thing i have learned from this forum, you are exactly right, IS the differing methods from region to region....

thanks for pointing that out, because i at one point admit to being guilty and naive to different methods across the u.s.

thanks.

Re: Priming and Texture


We prime everything before texture. Touchup that passes the eye usually shows up perfect after primer and with some lights, and its nice to spray hamilton mud onto white primer b/c its got a yellow tint to it, helps w/ consistancy, esp. on a spray/knockdown house.
