        "text": "Applying primer is critical in kitchens whenever you are covering stained areas, transitioning sheen levels, or painting raw drywall patches. Kitchen walls often harbor grease splatters, watermarks from past plumbing leaks, or dark existing paint that will bleed through standard topcoats without a stain-blocking primer. Similarly, when painting over previously applied glossy oil-based enamel on cabinets or trim, a high-adhesion bonding primer must be applied first. Skipping primer on slick or greasy surfaces almost always results in adhesion failure and peeling paint within months.",

        "description": "Yes, primer is necessary when covering stains, grease marks, new drywall patches, or switching from oil-based paint to latex to ensure proper adhesion and prevent bleed-through."
