Do you need primer when repainting an already painted surface?
A: Not always. If the existing paint is in good condition, properly adhered, and the new coating is compatible, you can often clean, sand, and apply the new paint directly.
Primer is recommended when the existing surface is damaged, bare in spots, heavily sanded, has poor adhesion, or when you need better adhesion, coverage, or a uniform base.
At Tucker Imaging & Signs, proper surface preparation is an important part of getting a professional, long-lasting finish.

Making Wise Choices With Your Advertising Dollar
Choosing the right sign size starts with understanding how far away your customers will be when they need to read it. A common sign-industry rule of thumb is approximately 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet of viewing distance—so a sign intended to be read from 100 feet away should have lettering around 10 inches tall for good impact. From there, the overall sign should be large enough to give your message room to breathe. Don't try to fill every inch of the sign with text, phone numbers, logos, and graphics. Too much information creates clutter and makes the sign harder to read, especially from a moving vehicle. A clean design with large lettering, strong contrast, and plenty of open space will usually get your message across much more effectively. At Tucker Imaging & Signs, we can help you determine the appropriate letter and sign size based on where your sign will be located and how it will be viewed.
Make a strong first impression with a clean, professional brand identity. When designing your business signs and branding profile, keeping your image simple and your message clear ensures customers understand who you are instantly. Avoid visual clutter by using minimal colors, highly readable fonts, and a single, strong focal point. A straightforward, polished design makes your business easily recognizable, highly memorable, and drives more customers to choose you.
