Primer
Primer seals the original material, not allowing the paint to soak through. This not only reduces the number of layers of paint you will need to use but also makes your finished paint job look professional and clean.

Hazelnut

Sheen
The sheen, or glossiness of your paint is important and can totally affect the color of your paint and the overall feel of a room. Here is a helpful guide regarding sheen from Sherwin Williams:
