Yes, priming the wall with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Clear before painting over Crown Clean Extreme Scrubbable Matt paint can provide better adhesion and durability, ensuring a smoother and long-lasting finish. It's a recommended step for optimal results in your painting project.

It depends on the type of new paint you're planning to use on top of the Crown Clean Extreme Scrubbable Matt paint. Here's a breakdown:
No primer needed:
If you're using another water-based scrubbable matt paint from a reputable brand: Crown Clean Extreme already provides a good base for another scrubbable matt paint, so primer isn't usually necessary. Check the new paint manufacturer's recommendations for compatibility.
If you're simply changing the color in the same type of paint: As long as you're staying within scrubbable matt paints, a new coat should adhere well without primer.
Primer might be beneficial:
If you're switching to a different type of paint, like gloss or eggshell: These types of paints have different properties and adhesion characteristics, so applying a primer specifically designed for the new paint type can improve adhesion and overall finish.
If the underlying Crown Clean Extreme paint is old or damaged: Primer can help even out any imperfections and provide a more stable base for the new paint.
If you're using a dark color over a light color: Primer can prevent bleed-through of the original color.
