PVA or what

Primer? who uses primer?

6-2 Speedhide primer from PPG or Moores 253-00 Super Spec Undercoater/Primer Both work pretty well for me but I guess it depends on what the finish product is gonna be.

Cheap flat....2-112 Wall Supreme PPG, 2 coats and no primer

Cheap Egg....depending on color 2 coats no primer or 1 coat tinted 6-2 or 253, and 1 coat finish ( 2 depending on color )

Best primer I've ever used on new drywall is SW Prep rite. I won't paint it unless it's primed. PVA sucks.

Wasn't there a thread on here for months from a guy getting sued for peeling paint from prep rite primer used on new sheet rock? If I remember the home owner supplied prep rite; the contractor ran out and used some cheap stuff. The paint stuck to his primer but not to the prep rite.
