With Behr Ultra Premium Primer and Paint All In one you can...Nice stuff....2
coats and done...Used it (Eggshell) on new drywall in my bathroom reno...Had
to try it as a lot of my drywall customers have asked about it...Goes on
good and covers real well..Lifetime guarantee....Available at Home
Depot....HTH....


Serious questions:

What's the advantage(s) of "all-in-one" paints?

Is it cheaper in the long run because you have less waste? (e.g. 3
gallons of all-in-one vs. 2 each of primer and paint when you only
need 1.5 of each?)

Is it more forgiving of a slightly lighter coat in a given area
because it's the exact same paint?

I guess there's less cleanup 'cuz I don't have to clean the brushes/
rollers between coats. (plastic wrap and refrigerators are our
friends)

Am I on the right track?

There has to be some disadvantages...what are they?
