Default choice of primers and paints

Looking for recommendations on primers and paints for:

Now then.. for my shop/garage/office..
I bought a couple of gals of Kilz general purpose at WalMart. I also
have 3-4 gals of some Behr flat enamel leftover from another project
and a couple other leftovers I'm thinking to use (maybe paint a couple
different colors on the shop office walls).

CR recommends Behr mostly, but there is noise out there that BM or SW
is really a better paint.

I'm beginning to think that flat is the way to go. By the time it
really needs cleaned it can either be spot painted or is in need of a
full repaint.


We've been using the Kilz colors for 3 years now. Probably applied
somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 gallons. Brush, roller, and
sprayed. We will not use another. as for the flat, semi, eggshell,
satin bs, that's all subjective to what you like.
