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.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1465586 AC you sound like you know what you are talking about. I appreciate the input, and don't mean to offend. Are you a painter or do you work at a paint store? I'm puzzled by the drop of black in the primer. Only one? Would your method of tinting the primer be a better idea that say tinting the primer the same colour as the finish coat? I used to manage a paint store. Yes, you don't need much black to turn white into a dirty white/gray. Everyone wants to tint the primer to the same color but tests show that color over gray provides a truer color on the first coat, than that same color over itself. It sounds hard to believe but try it out -- it's true. thank you, will be taking your advice
