Our Primers & Undercoats

We recommend using Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat wherever you’re using a Farrow & Ball topcoat. Not only is it specially formulated to bring out the very best in our paint, but keeping to the same brand for your priming and painting products will help to avoid any incompatibility issues.

The Farrow & Ball System

Our paint colours are renowned for their depth, complexity, and ability to respond extraordinarily to light.

For an even, long-lasting finish, we recommend following the Farrow & Ball system:
• One coat of our Primer & Undercoat in the recommended tone
• Two coats of your chosen topcoat

Richer Colour

Our Primers & Undercoats are available in up to four tones: 
White & Light Tones, Mid Tones, Red & Warm Tones, and Dark Tones.

Each one is made with a careful balance of pigments, and between them they bring out the best in our entire palette of colours, adding richness and depth for that signature Farrow & Ball look.

Exceptional Coverage

Because they begin with the same rich pigments and water base as our paints, our Primers & Undercoats help your chosen colour to adhere effortlessly to the surface you’re painting, giving you a smooth, even finish and unrivalled coverage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from F&B never disappoints, one and done I have several old radiators to tackle. I’ve done past painting, removed and sprayed, or sprayed in place with a spray box. These last few present particular challenges in that they were previously painted black and they are rough. Spray would have taken too much product to cover so I chose to brush these. I am so pleased with the primer, ease of application, consistency and viscosity was just right. Worth the extra money and time to do it right, do it once.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The perfect base for the perfect range of paints. Having had only F&B paints used since 2014 this undercoat is the perfect base in preparation for completing the job with their top coats. Beautiful finish. Easy to apply.
