We are planning to paint out old farmhouse in the spring. We will be painting over aluminum siding that was installed in the late 70s. it's been painted several times over the years, but it is chalky and fading. What do we need to do to prep the aluminum, and then what products would we use to prime and paint (and how many coats of each would you recommend for aluminum)? View answer

Hi there, will this primer work well for old plaster walls? We have a 1940s home & tore off two layers of old wood paneling to discover yellow painted plaster walls. So it's easy to assume it's lead based paint as well. Will this primer be suitable for this? We have ecos paint but cannot use their primer as it isn't suitable for plaster. Thank you so much for your help! View answer

I have removed wallpaper, filled cracks with plaster and sanded those down to create a smooth surface. There are however still some minor imperfections in the wall. Can I use this primer to form a thick smooth coating so my paint layer goes on nicely? Also I am painting a baby room, so will this have no off gassing? And if this is the right primer, what paint can you recommend that will give no voc and no off gassing? Thank you View answer

I ran out of AFM transitional primer after using three gallons for three rooms, and my painters were not really able to get a good cover on the master bedroom with new drywall. I am not happy with the thin layer of primer that is on the walls. My question is can I use the gallon of ECOS drywall primer over top of AFM transitional primer to get a more even coverage than I have? I like how our other rooms look with a very good coat of AMF and always believed it is important to have good solid coat of primer for a nicer paint finish. View answer

I am a single pregnant mom and trying to be careful with paint and primers. What do you recommend I use to prime the shelving unit and then which paint to purchase? I have a wood shelf unit in our entryway (place for boots, umbrellas, etc.) that I want to paint. Does a specific paint go w/ a specific primer? Do I need to "seal" anything with a different product before I paint? Or after I paint? (Sorry for all the questions, love your store!) View answer

Our house was built in 1967. The trim board in the basement is still just painted with the original black, flat finish paint which I tested as positive for lead with a test kit purchased from a local big box store. There may be some type of white primer under the black as I can see white under the black on some spots on a door frame where the paint has rubbed off. Would the AFM Safecoat Transitional Primer with two top coats of AFM Zero VOC paint serve to encapsulate the lead based paint? View answer

I was given eight 3 ft x 5 ft metal boxes I intend to use as veggie beds. What do you recommend I paint on the inside to keep the boxes from rusting away too soon and is safe to treat the inside of these metal boxes so that the veggies that people eat won't absorb anything toxic from either the paint or leaching from the metal? The boxes on the inside are presently coated with dirt, some paint, lots of rust and bare metal. View answer

I bought a condo with oil based paint and primer and the smell is horrible, even after 2 months. I want to encapsulate the smell; walls, ceilings, cabinets with this. However, this is a coastal property very close to the beach. Is water based paint going to be okay? Would latex be better? Can latex be used over this primer? View answer
