        "text": "Priming after surface preparation is generally recommended and rarely advisable to skip. Primer creates a consistent base for the topcoat, improving paint adhesion, hiding minor imperfections, and sealing porous surfaces. It also helps block stains and ensures a more uniform color. Skipping primer can lead to uneven paint absorption, poor adhesion, and a less durable finish, especially when painting over bare materials or significant color changes.",
