Yes, Bulls Eye 1-2-3 will work well as a color-change primer. Depending on the color, however, you may not need a primer. Bright reds and yellows need help normally, but most colors will cover in two coats.

Can a shower stall be painted with water based paint?

I have had excellent results painting my shower tile with Zinnser Bullseye 123 latex primer. It has stuck to the shiny tiles for years now. I don't know what your stall is made of but I would expect you could paint just about anything if you can paint tile. I would suggest a few coats of the primer which would adhere to the substrate and then a couple coats with a color coat of a gloss finish latex. Make sure the surface is completely dry and squeaky clean.


Can you paint white paint on brown primer?

Yes, you can because brown primer isn't that dark of a color.


What color primer should you use?

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.


Wall that has been sponged a mauve color I'm painting over it with a dark beige color can i use a white primer or should i have my primer tinted?

As long as the original paint is intact, you do not even need a primer. The advantage about using a primer is that it might help to hide the old color easier, but you will have to buy the primer AND the paint that you like. Is the existing paint latex? Is the new paint latex? Is there any bare drywall? Unless there is something that we don't know, I would just buy enough paint to paint the wall 2 coats. If you want to prime it, you can have the primer tinted a little to get you closer to the color that you have chosen, but it will be more trouble and work than is necessary.

What paint would paint alumimum and wood siding equally well?

If it is bare aluminum and wood siding, they need to be primed prior to painting. The best primer for aluminum is a water based primer like zinsser's bulls-eye 123. The best primer for the wood siding is an oil-based primer such as zinnser's cover-stain. You want to use a water-based top-coat on both surfaces to give it better color retention, and durability through harsh weather conditions. If it is already painted, sand down parts that are coming off, pressure wash the surface, wait 24hours to dry and paint again. Remember, the paint you topcoat it with is only as good as the coating underneath it.

What color polyurethane primer is good for a light color polyurethane paint?

Primer is almost always the exciting color of light gray, so if you're painting with a light color, you should stick with the gray. Primer could theoretically come in any color, but gray is what you'll nearly always see used. Sometimes a shop will use a darker primer such as red for certain darker colors of paint so that they won't have to use as many coats of paint to cover the usual gray primer.


What color primer should you use with valspar mediterranean seaside blue?

Since it is an oceanic blue color, I'd suggest that you use a primer that is tinted to at least 3/4 of the top coat. This should give enough coverage over the old color to allow you to recoat with only one additional coat. If the primer is not available in that dark of a color, then a gray primer will suffice.
