Asian Paints Trucare Interior Wall Primer: The Perfect Base for Interiors

A great paint job isn’t just about the final color; it’s about how well it sticks to the wall. Asian Paints Trucare Interior Wall Primer is the industry-standard water-based primer designed to provide a strong, durable foundation for all interior masonry surfaces. Whether you are painting a new home or repainting an old one, this primer ensures your topcoat looks uniform, bright, and professional.

Asian Paints Trucare Interior Wall Primer acts as a sealer that prevents the wall from soaking up expensive paint. By sealing the porosity of the plaster or putty, it ensures better coverage (spread rate) of your finish paint. It is compatible with all water-based finishes, including distempers and premium interior wall paint like Apcolite and Royale, making it a versatile choice for any room.

Why Choose Asian Paints Trucare Interior Wall Primer?

Skipping primer can lead to patchy walls and peeling paint. Here is why Asian Paints Trucare Interior Wall Primer is the smart first step:

• Better Adhesion: It bonds firmly to the wall surface, acting as a “double-sided tape” that grabs the wall on one side and the paint on the other, preventing flaking.
• Enhanced Whiteness: Its bright white finish improves the opacity of your topcoat, ensuring that even light pastel shades look vibrant without needing extra coats.
• Seals Porosity: It stops the “suction” effect of dry plaster, meaning you use less emulsion paint to cover the same area, saving you money.

• Easy Application: Spreads smoothly with a brush or roller with minimal effort.
