Default PRIMER Painting question

I tried Behr paint once and swore off forever

-did you use PRIMER before the BEHR paint ?

We've "primed, then painted" (with Behr in our last two homes) and can't
say anything bad about BEHR.

Its a good idea to get the primer TINTED if you're going to use a color
other than white. Helps second coat coverage.


The item had been painted. I sanded and then started to paint. Old
paint medium green, new coat white semi. After the third coat, the
green still showed through. Never had that happen before and I've done
a lot of painting.
