Looking to paint an unpainted external old stone door surround. Got some masonry paint for it, but do I need to use primer first? If so, any tips as to a decent one?

The paint can will give you detail on that ; and depends on the stone type

Give it a rub down with wire brush to remove all loose shyte, then use an old paint brush to remove all dust.

I would defo use primer. You'll get a better end result, even if it means 2 top coats. Allow primer 24 hours to go bone dry before adding top coat(s).

Good luck.

Use any paint as an undercoat.

I think standard masonry paint allows some moisture to escape so personally I’d not seal or prime the stonework

I’m no painter though so google some stuff

Re: Primer

I did and got varying answers. The stonework is in good nick, so I'm just going to lash two coats on
