Finishing suggestions Gyproc plasters don’t need to be primed before applying paint, provided that our application instructions are adhered to. Variance from the application instructions will result in dust or residue on the surface after set and dry time is completed, please consult your painting supplier for a suitable plaster primer. Applying a primer will assist against potential delamination of finishing materials, due to deviance from the application and cleaning instructions.
