MTN - PRO Gesso Primer

PRO Gesso Primer

Prime any surface to accept oils, acrylics, and tempera with confidence

Most surfaces aren't ready for paint straight out of the gate. MTN PRO Gesso Primer seals porous materials and creates uniform tooth across plywood, wood, clay, concrete, and cardboard, transforming raw substrates into proper painting surfaces. The aerosol format reaches into textured areas and covers irregular shapes that brush application misses, while building even coverage faster than traditional gesso application.

This primer closes surface pores to prevent paint absorption, reducing the amount of medium needed for solid coverage. Once dry, the sealed surface accepts oil, acrylic, and tempera equally well, giving you flexibility to work across techniques without committing to a single medium. The spray delivery eliminates brushstrokes that can telegraph through thin paint layers, particularly valuable for smooth acrylic washes or precise oil work.

Shake thoroughly before application and apply in thin, even coats. Multiple light passes build better tooth than single heavy coats and prevent drips on vertical surfaces. The primer dries quickly between coats, letting you prepare surfaces and start painting in the same session. Whether you're preparing found objects for mixed media assemblage or prepping dimensional craft projects, this gesso handles substrate preparation without the time investment of traditional brush-on primers.
