Hi all,
I have previously painted a couple of my poly nucs with masonry paint, but did not use a primer. Equally, the pre-painted poly hives I have from Abelo don't seem to have been primed. In both cases, a couple of years down the line, there has been some limited degradation of the paint, where it's lifted from the surface (blistering/peeling).
... Nothing too bad, but as I now want to paint the rest of my (freshly cleaned) nucs, to limit UV damage, I was wondering whether it was the done-thing to use a primer ?...
... and if so, what product comes recommended ?
Cheers![Thumbs up :thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png)
