What he said.

My version: otherwise it will look like **** and you will end up painting
it over and over to "fix" it, never achieving the same result as if you
primed.

Prime! There are special primers for new drywall, and two coats likely
will make the paint job look better. Go to a good paint store, ask
about suitable rollers and buy good brushes.

You can prime and paint or you can paint two coats. If it's a little
job just do the two coats. If it's a big job you'll actually save
money by priming.

We had a front entry that they did not use primer on the walls first.
The paint kept bubbling off. Use primer!

no 2 coats...you must prime , I just had a wall and ceiling done,
investigated and found prime prime prime....
primer has special ingredients that help finish coats stay on and last. No
mater if oil or latex.

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?

It saves one whole step...Typically you need tinted primer for every color
you are using which can be wastefull and you still need to put 2 coats of
finish on...With the all in one paint you just prep and put 2 coats on it
and your done...This is especially helpfull if doing a reno where you have
touch ups and patches on painted walls...The only disadvatage I can think of
is being flamed by "old schoolers" who can't/won't change and those who
suffer with BBDS , (Big Box Derangement Syndrome) as it is sold at Home
Depot....LOL...

Depends on the results you want. If you don't care, don't prime. If you
want it to look nice, prime. And don't forget some Floetrol to keep those
nasty brush marks away.

Agreed.

You only get one chance to prime it..................

I tried Behr paint once and swore off forever. The primer/paint
products sound attractive, but I'll wait to see how they
perform...staying on surface, cleanability, etc. If I was painting NEW
drywall and wood, I would be more inclined to do it the "old" way and
not try a new product )

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.

Use a primer on bare wood, always. There is new drywall primer, it's
inexpensive and tint if desired. Do not skip any paint preparation
step if you want a professional looking job.

You are right on Joe. There is a lot written about the paint, its
characteristics, prep, etc. It is best to read all this stuff in the
store, before you buy it. If you are not up to following the
instructions, get another product or hire someone to do it right.
