C2 Accent Color System Primers


C2 paint at Monarch Home Decorating CenterThe Coatings Alliance introduces C2 Accent Color System Primers, its new primer line designed to work with the boldest colors of the C2 palette. Available in interior and exterior latex, and exterior oil, C2 Accent Color System Primers deliver outstanding coverage in a maximum of two topcoats.

Vivid, dramatic colors are more popular than ever. Our new primers resolve translucency issues common to dark colors to ensure the uniform opacity needed for a polished finish. Now, you don’t need to paint four, five, six coats to get even coverage on a deep red or orange wall. You just need to lay the right foundation.

As a general rule for any paint, the more heavily saturated the color, the more translucent the paint. Translucency yields coverage problems by allowing the base surface to show through. Now, for the first time, a properly applied C2 primer coat with a maximum of twoC2 finish coats achieves complete coverage. Additionally, the exterior primers of the Accent Color Systemblock cedar-bleed and other discolorations due to resins in wood, while adding years to the longevity of a paint job.
