        "text": "While not always mandatory, using a primer after paint preparation is highly recommended in many situations. Primer creates a uniform surface, improves paint adhesion, blocks stains, and ensures true paint color. You should definitely use primer on new drywall, patched areas, bare wood, or when making a significant color change. If painting over previously painted surfaces in good condition and with a similar color, a high-quality paint-and-primer-in-one might suffice, but a dedicated primer still offers superior results.",
