Would like to start by thanking whoever it was that recommended GARDZ to me. Put it on the last job before skimcoating 2 small rooms and the skimcoat went on really easy because of it. Then GARDZ again and put on 3 coats of paint since no color primer. Came out great, they liked it so much they want me to skimcoat and do at least 1 other small bedroom already and probably some more rooms. Along with the ceiling though, which I hate doing. But eating is a good thing, so I can deal with it 
It kind of surprised me when I poured it out of the can the first time, and made a huge mess. Wasn't expecting it to be so runny. Took a little while to get to use without making a mess or getting it on myself while doing the ceiling. I also sure don't see the "blue" in it before it dries, looks clear all the time to me. Regardless, I love the stuff.
You will most likely never get rid of me now, which I why I am back with another question. The other room I need to do is in really tough shape because they removed some wall cabinets or something and found different colors on the wall behind it, some paper got torn off, etc etc.. I can skimcoat it pretty easy but since the gardz is clear I am worried if even with 3 coats the color may be different in some areas? Will 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of finish be any better than just 3 coats of finish? Didn't want to waste the money on a tinted primer for it if I didn't have to.. Would a generic color primer be a good idea? Grey or something like that? Product recommendations? Finish coat will be BM aquavelvet again.
Got another primer question for ya too.. I need to do 2 closets and the ceiling in that room, they have removed a texture in both and the ceiling and a lot of paper is showing through. Will be retextured so I am not worried about getting it 100% smooth, but after I GARDZ it and skimcoat it to level it out before the texture a lot of dark brown paper is going to be showing through and I am worried about that showing through the textured compound, need I guess just a flat white primer? Any product recommendations for this? Any chance that plain white primer would be good for the question above about this?
Thanks again so much
