I am getting ready to paint my living room using Behr's Glowing Firelight (S-G-200):

My building sidekick suggested not to use the regular Killz2 primer but some special gray primer for red(ish) paints. I am posting here to confirm his suggestion and open a discussion for second opinions. Which specific primer would be the best for this paint?

You should have your Kilz 2 tinted the same color as the topcoat. Most places will do that for free.

Choose the primer that you feel best meets the purpose of the room. Have it tinted grey. The grey tint allows the red to show faster - less coats. If you want me to give advice on specific primer then I would say what kind of room it is and if there are any special conditions.

  • thanks but this doesn't really answer my question -- it merely recycles it.
