Yes you can, as long as the red finish paint is compatible with the tan wall. Acrylic and latex paints can't be applied over an oil based paint without a primer. A tinted primer can be used if you are not sure. Plus, a tinted primer will make the red paint cover better.
only if you want it dark red Black as an undercoat is not the best way to get a good saturated colour, your paint retailer can provide you with a good quality red undercoat/primer, this is a MUCH better base for a red wall.
Any, but usually you use the same brand primer that your paint is. Most places will tint your primer the same color as your paint if you ask, this way you don't get shading. Lowes brand paint, is one of the best tested paints, for around 34.00 indoor and 39.00 outdoor, it is rated better then Behr paint from homedepot. The best outdoor paint runs around 50-60 a gallon.
No. Never use primer to change wall colors. I once bought a house that was just renovated. Everything was nice; but the walls. The renovators cheaped out and just covered the walls in white primer, it made them all feel like sandpaper.
All the information I read on Tinners paint refers to it as 'anti-rust' exterior metal paint . - I certainly wouldn't put a latex primer on anything outside. I would use Kilz original as a primer.
The base paint that is used on a house interior and exterior walls is called primer. Primer comes in white or gray, with white being the more popular. Primer allows the outer coats of paint to stick to the wall more easily and cover up discolored blemishes.

If the white paint is well-bonded to the surface, and the red is very fresh, a lot of times you can use a sharp razor blade to peel the red paint off the white. If the red is stuck on there, I would use a sanding block to remove as much red paint as I could without damaging much of the white paint, then put a coat of white paint over the area. Next time, get a newspaper and tape it to the white walls to protect the building.
if you paint red walls gray primer may be the best but it depends what kid of paint but mostly yes and it will make your wonderful walls look like it was dong by a professional, so if you use red paint with bear hugs paint it wont work and you can take it off very easily with water or wet towels or just paint white on top and paing any color you want .
Orange. Why are you using a primer? If the walls are already painted, just apply 2 coats of the paint that you want to use. If you use primer, have the paint store tint the primer toward the orange color that you have chosen.
Red.
Yes. Normally, you'd want to put a grey primer on prior to painting a wall red because most reds cover poorly, but the grey will keep light from reflecting back through the red paint, giving the illusion of good coverage. Be sure to apply the paint evenly and always work to a wet edge to avoid lap marks which would require applying another coat.
