Do I need to paint over Kilz
I am trying to use SW ceiling paint and the spot where I used kilz to cover a water spot shows through. The shiny kilz is whats showing. How do I get that to not be shiny?

How do I get that to not be shiny? Will take several coats to cover it Use a napped roller to add a bit of texture to the paint - the paint around the kilz likely has some texture. It WILL take 2 or 3 coats to totally hide it. Don't thin it or brush it out too much if brushing. |

How do I get that to not be shiny? That's surprising. Guess ceiling paint is thin, i.e. short on pigment. Years ago I had a paint like that which needed several coats. I did a ceiling stain recently and did not have this problem but may have used a newer kilz grade. I haven't seen it with ceiling paint, but I've seen it with high quality, BM wall paint. I've put up some test samples of various colors and later when covered with two or even three coats of the final color, at the right angle you can see the underlying test areas. It's like a difference in texture effect. And no, the colors were not something extreme either, more like faint grays, light tans, etc. |

Funny story but as a kid I did a couple of days interior house painting and contractor would not use a color that required more than one coat. He had one that did and removed it for another color. I think now that there are 3 grades of Kilz. Original was ethanol solvent and quite drippy. The stuff I used recently was not. |
