Astonishing - so great!!

I have been planning a pretty big paint job of two bedrooms all summer and knew I’d need primer to get it done right because the old paint was so grungy with stains. It was important to me to find a primer that was truly low VOC because I have asthma, and that would provide full coverage. Clare’s primer is shocking low in odor, and it completely covered a darker old shade of paint with old marks and stains in one coat. I am in awe… and in love!!!

Excellent for worn surfaces

Over the ~9 years in our home, I have hung various things and created scratches and dents in the room that turned out to be the nursery for our firstborn. This was a great, safe product to prep the walls for Clare paint!

Excellent!

I love everything about Clare paints! They go on smooth and vibrant and the colors are to die for! This primer makes everything ready for that glorious paint, giving the wall a “tooth” for the paint to hold onto and cleaning up any imperfections or color variations. Like I said, excellent!
