What primer do you use to paint over a brown stained door?
depends on what color you are painting it ... generally you would want to paint it white... i would go with a clear coat of primer first and then some white.... then two to three coats of white paint. Any good quality oil or shellac based primer will do, however it is best to give the door a good sanding first.
Can you use a grey primer then paint white?
Besides a few shades of black, white primer will reflect more light back than a gray primer under a paint color that doesn't cover well. Gray is often used under dark reds which would normally require several coats of paint to cover, The lighi that would normally be reflected from a white primer underneath the paint is, instead, absorbed by the gray primer, giving the illusion of an opaque surface. White primer is used under any light paint that covers well. It can also be tinted to the color of many off white or pastel wall colors to help ensure coverage using fewer coats.

I have an old cedar chest that I would like to paint white. Can I paint it after sanding it?
I would use a bonding primer to start out with. Most paint stores carry it. Otherwise start with a oil-based primer, after sanding and wiping clean with a slightly DAMP cloth.

Spirit based is oil based and oil and water don't mix. Use paint thinner or mineral spirits.

When is the best time to use primer Before you paint or after you paint Does it depend on the color that you are going to use or what color you are going to paint on?
Before you paint you should always prime and what type and color of primer to use changes by situation. Three types of primer to really think about. There is water/latex based which is used mainly if you are doing a color change. Oil/alkyd based paints is used for covering stains such as water, grease and smoke. If you use water for stains the stains bleed through and if you use oil for color changes it takes a few coats for the base color to stop showing. The last is Shellac which I've never used but have been told it covers stains and does color changes. Now for primer color, you have the options of white, grey or getting them tinted. Most color are good with a white primer, but if they are really dark or very bright you may want to consider something ealse. Some paint colors (mainly reds and oranges) may take many coats (I've heard of up to seven) for the paint color to come out smooth and even with no blotchy spots/see thorugh if you do not use the right primer. Best to ask the person who makes your paint if it needs a colored primer. Now some paint brands recommend for the colors that need it grey primer and some recommend tinted primers. Grey can be bought off the shelf and tinted primer is made generally by adding 1/4 the paint colors formula to the primer (do not try for more, primers take color differntly then paint and it may come out too dark)

No, they don't. A white primer will simply give whatever color you paint your walls a more pure hue. No. You can paint them any color you like.
