GoPrime Primer-Sealer Undercoater - Duo - 100% Acrylic Latex - Interior - White

I am surprised how bad this primer is. My walls needed 3 coats to cover the old blue walls. I then needed 2 coats of the actual Sico paints. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

This primer did not really cover my dark Gray colour, needs a second coat. I miss my old CIL ultra Primer--it did cover in one coat( now owned by Glidden)

Ce produit est super! Il s'applique bien et a un bon cachant. il fait aussi un fini super lisse et sans pellure d'orange!

Couvre une bonne surface, odeur pas trop forte et masque plus que les autres que j’ai déjà utilisés.

I have done lots of DIY painting in my house and never really paid attention to the type of primer I used and was not partial to a particular brand. I did some painting over the holidays going from a darkish green to an off-white. I had part cans of Rona Eco Primer and Valspar High-Hiding Primer and full can of Sico GoPrime Duo Primer-Sealer. I used the Rona, then Valspar then Sico. It wasn't until I finished the primer coat that I realized how different primers can be. Valspar by far was the best for hiding the dark colour. There was still some bleed through, but not bad. Both the Rona and Sico looked terrible by comparison with Sico being slightly worse with lots of bleed through. I ended up adding a second coat of Sico primer over the Rona and Sico first coats which was better, but still not quite as good as the 1 coat of Valspar. Interestingly, I found the Sico primer to be the most thick and the Valspar to be least thick. As an aside, I used Sico Evolution for the top coat in 1 room and Dulux Lifemaster in another room. I had to use 3 coats of Sico to not have any bleed through and only 2 coats for Dulux, so yet another Sico product not good at hiding darker colours. If you are looking for a primer to hide a dark colour, I would not recommend this unless you plan on multiple coats.
