[quote:Anonymous Coward 1465586:MV8xOTY5NzY3XzMzMDYzMjg5X0YzRjc2MjdC] A lot of bad advice here... Get a good quality, general drywall primer and have a little extra white tint added to it - along with a drop of black. Any paint store will do that for you no problem. - You don't need a stain blocker because paint is not a stain. - You don't need SW A-100 because that is exterior primer. - You don't need silver paint. - Kilz is for stain blocking - you don't need that. So once you prime the wall with the gray primer, you'll need to do two coats of the new paint color and it'll be perfect....just as long as you use the right nap roller cover and a good quality paint.

Original Message
I need to paint a room that is blood red in colour. The colour has not been chosen yet but will be a light colour.
I don't want to have to put 3 or 4 coats of paint on the red to cover it.
-What do you think of tinted primers? What brand is best,
-What about a stain block like Zinsser?
-A friend said his mother always used silver paint as a overcoat, after which she could paint any colour and the old colour could not be seen
