White Smooth Mexicano Internal Doors

A white primed door means that the door has already been pre-coated with a white primer during the manufacturing process. This primer serves as a base layer that prepares the door's surface for painting. It helps the final coat of paint adhere more effectively and ensures a smooth, even finish.

While it may be tempting to leave a primed door unpainted, it is not recommended. The primer is designed as a preparatory layer rather than a final finish, and it lacks the durability and protection offered by a topcoat of paint. Leaving a door with only primer exposed can lead to issues such as moisture absorption, stains, and general wear over time. To protect the door and achieve a long-lasting finish, it's important to apply at least one coat of paint after installation.

In most cases, white primed doors do not require an additional undercoat. The primer layer already serves as the undercoat, preparing the surface for the top layer of paint. Once you’ve chosen your paint color, you can apply it directly to the primed surface. However, if you're opting for a significantly darker or more vibrant shade, applying an additional undercoat might help improve colour coverage and ensure a smooth, even result.

No, you do not need to prime a door that has already been primed. A white primed door has been prepared with a base primer coat during production, so it’s ready for the topcoat of paint. Skipping the additional priming step saves time and effort, allowing you to focus on achieving the perfect finish with your chosen paint colour. Simply sand any rough areas lightly if needed, then proceed with painting for a professional, durable result.
