What happens when you mix primer seal with normal paint?
You end up with a primer that doesn't prime well and a paint that doesn't wash or scrub as well as it should or if it's an exterior application, the paint will not stand up to UV damage as well. Better to use a paint that can be used as a primer too. Unless it's a difficult surface to cover or a surface that is badly stained or damaged, many paints will cover and adhere with no issues.
