  • Paint with no primer needed?

    Has anyone used the house paint that you don't need to prime first???
    Seems to me it just wouldn't have a good finish and would start to peel in a short while.

    Is that the same as the paint that includes the primer? Behr, iirc. It's being advertised pretty heavily. I wonder if there's heavier prep involved.

        5x? Yikes! Having been in the trade, that's what we would call "lose money". The Behr Premium paint does get my props though... up there with Benjamin Moore as far a coverage goes. Tip: tint the primer close to what the finish color is.
