What it does
Some wood types are rich in active substances which can cause drying delays and/or discolouration of subsequent coatings of aqua products.
Auro Colours for Life Paint Primer 510 forms a thin breathable film over the wooden surface to prevent the likelihood of bleeding and discolouration of subsequent coatings from active substances within the wood like tannins, glues, natural oils and dark pigments.
This is designed for follow up treatments of Auro Satin Paint 517 or Auro Gloss Paint 516.
Why we love it
We love that the primer is really easy to use and is water based and solvent free. It doesn’t contain any plastics and is vegan friendly. It is quick drying and easy to clean up the tools after.
The VOC Level of the primer is ≤ 1 g/l which makes it virtually VOC free
How it works
The primer is a slightly white semi transparent look and it creates a slight film on the wood which prevents active ingredients and discolorations coming through on the subsequent coats. It allows the surface to breathe and provides a uniform surface to be coated with follow up treatment from Auro Wood paints.

Installation Guide
The Auro Colours for Life Paint Primer 510 is thinly applied to bare timber evenly and swiftly by brush, roller or by spraying. The substrate should be dry, free of grease, clean, and in good condition. It can be thinned with a maximum of 5% with water. A thin film will have formed when dry, it will be a semi transparent white look to it. On light timber it will look transparent. After 6 hours an even film should have formed on the surface, if not another coat should be applied. It should then get a very light sanding before being overcoated with Auro Satin Paint 517 or Auro Gloss Paint 516 after 6 hours. It is important that the sanding is very light, do not sand back to substrate as that will just remove the primer. The light sanding ensures a key is given for subsequent coats to stick to.
