You make sure your surface is clean and dry then roll the primer on. I prefer to use a heavy body primer like Kilz then I don't have to re-coat. One coat of a good primer does it all. Paying a little extra for a good primer can save you lots in the final paint.

If your paint isn't sticking to the primer, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure that the primer was compatible with the paint; even if both are latex, their formulations may not work well together.
