Benjamin Moore · Primers and stucco
Fresh Start
The all-purpose primer. Blocks water stains, smoke and wood bleed; tinted deep under bold colors.
What it’s for
Fresh Start is the primer for problem surfaces: water stains that come back through paint, smoke and nicotine, knots and tannin bleeding through wood, and a long list of surfaces from drywall to tile to hardboard.
Tinted in a deep base, it’s also how bright reds and deep yellows cover in two coats instead of four.
