Can your mix latex paint with its own tinted primer together and apply as one coat?

It will work over another latex paint, however it won't be as scrubable as a normal top coat, and it won't adhere as well as a paint over a primer. Better to apply the primer, then the paint. If the surface is clean and deglossed though, you really don't need a primer and can coat the surface with a quality wall paint.

Can you use primer as paint?

Primer should not be used as a top coat on most surfaces. The purpose of primers is to give a good base or tooth for the top coat, this means it will attract dirt, fingerprints and such more readily than a good quality top coat. The only place a primer is sometimes used as a top coat is as a cheap ceiling paint.


Can I use leftover new drywall primer to prime previously painted walls?

Yes, you can use it....but what are you trying to do? The drywall primer is specifically designed to seal the drywall and make the surface uniform. You will not get any benefit from using it on top of a finish coat except for using it as a base coat for changing colors.

What is the best primer?

The best primer for you will depend on your skin type and concerns. A good general option is a hydrating primer for dry skin, a mattifying primer for oily skin, or a blurring primer for minimizing pores and imperfections. It's always best to try samples or get recommendations from a makeup artist to find the best primer for your specific needs.


How do you paint stained gypsum?

First use a good primer, such as Kilz or Behr. You will need at least one coat of this, for very bad stains you could use two coats. After that you should be good to paint over top of it. If you are going to paint a very light colour, such as white or soft yellow, you might want to use Behr paint and primer in one, as it offers the best color coverage.


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.


Is there a product to paint plastic with a brush or roller?

In order to paint plastic, you need to first coat the plastic with a bonding primer, the best bonding primer on the market is called x.i.m. it is available in a clear and a white in quarts, usually about 18 dollars a quart. This product can even bond to glass....it is a xylene based product, that cleans up with mineral spirits. You can top coat the primer with anything, I recommend using waterbased for exterior applications... hope this helps.

How do you paint new wood?

I generally use an oil-based primer to start, because of its superior penetrating ability and because it will not be degraded by the wood's natural oils as they leach out (cedar is especially prone to this effect). After priming, a good-quality latex top coat will hold its colour much longer than oil. Ideally you should apply one coat of primer and two top coats, but a time and money saver is to have the primer tinted to match the finish colour, then use only one top coat. Bear in mind, though, that this approach will diminish the life of the paint job.

Yes. But you can't do the reverse. So if your primer is lacquer-based you can spray an over-coat of enamel on the top.


Do paints come with primer in them?

No, you buy the primer separate and paint with it first, let it dry then get the paint and paint over the primer. There are several paint applications where the paint can be used as a primer, and this is called a self-priming paint. In addition, many paints are marketed as a paint and primer in one, however, that refers to its ability to adhere well to a surface and to cover the previous coat. In more difficult priming situations, like staining or painting with a very dark color over a light color, it's recommended to use a dedicated primer followed by a top coat.
