Primer & undercoat
Architects’ ASP is Paint & Paper Library’s all surface primer, tinted to your chosen paint colour. Where available, choose Architects’ A.S.P (All Surface Primer) from the Finish dropdown on your chosen colour’s product page, then select your tin size. Your primer choice stays linked to that colour.
The preparation your surface needs depends on its condition and your chosen topcoat. Read the Architects’ ASP product advice sheet ↗ and the advice sheet for your topcoat before starting.

Try the colour in your room before ordering. Measure the surface area and check the advice sheet for coverage and coats. Preparation and drying depend on your surface and the room conditions.
Check the topcoat and primer sheets before starting. A surface that feels dry may still need more time before recoating or cleaning.
