Seen damp or water staining on your walls? Before you reach for the paint, stop.
Dampness is not a paint problem — it is a moisture problem. Painting over it without fixing the source will make it worse, not better.
Here is the correct order of action:
1. Find the source. Roof leak, burst pipe, rising damp, or exterior wall pe*******on.
2. Fix it properly. No coating holds on an actively wet substrate.
3. Let the surface dry fully. This can take days or even weeks depending on severity.
4. Apply the correct primer. On cement plaster, Prominent Paints Damp Cure delivers the alkali resistance and adhesion your topcoat needs.
5. Apply the right topcoat for the surface and environment.
