Am I the only one here LOL at this:

Another other option is to use a primer like Kilz or Zinsser. However,
those are somewhat pricey, IMHO.

Pricey, as compared to what? Screwing around with TSP and a scoth
pads all day? For a job like this, the cost of a gallon of Kilz,
shouldn't even be a factor.

BTW, I'm not sure Kilz is appropriate for this or suggesting that he
use it, just that it's crazy to worry about the cost.

Hear hear.

For the labor one puts into this, and the fact that one will be looking at it
for years, it's well worthwhile to get the best materials. In this case, primer
and paint. Knock off that little devil or whatever that's on your shoulder
while you're in the paint store or borg telling you that you're foolish not to
grab the cheapest thing on the shelf.

And go to a paint store instead of a borg so you can ask knowledgable people
some questions about prep and priming.
