A tinted primer will not necessarily be the same colour as your selected topcoat. It will be tinted towards the topcoat colour and generally lighter in shade. For example if your topcoat is black your primer may be a shade of grey. If you are unsure about when a tinted primer is required please contact us and we can advise further.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior \u0026amp; Exterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to be used under Little Greene Intelligent finishes, it can also be used under their oil-based finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for most interior and exterior surfaces.
