"Hi, this is Jon on behalf of Expert Village in this video clip we'll be priming around our windows and doors. Once our caulking has dried around the windows we are ready to put a coat of primer on. Now I'm using a good exterior primer, now you don't have to prime you can just put the paint on but the primer will help the paint hold better to the wall. For this I'm just going to take a thin brush with a little bit of primer and make nice even strokes and get a good nice coat. Now you are going to want to let that primer to dry for a couple of hours so we can put our paint on."
