Question about House painting:
The addition to my house that I have been working on for the past 2 yearsis nearly finished. FINALLY!! Now we are repainting the house. I'm planning to paint right over the old paint. But there are new parts that need to be primed. I have a few partially full cans of old exterior paint that will not be used as the final color. Can I use them up as primer?

No, you don't want to use that if it's bare wood. I'd recommend using a semi-acrylic primer such as Kilz2. You'll want to thin it down with some water to make it easier to work with. You can also get it tinted so it's close to your finish color.

I wouldn't. They sell self-priming paint nowdays, Valspar's Duramax to name one, that you could use
everywhere, but it's not a good idea to skip that step and go straight to paint.

No, primer is special in that it acts as a sealer and a special base for paint to adhere to.

Sorry tight wad, go stimulate the economy and spend some more money.

I wanna stimulate nature by using up those cans instead of tossing them. OK I admit, I wanted to save a few bucks too. Kinda killing two birds,...

phobia can correct me if I am wrong.

But on new drywall make sure you get the PVA primer that seals so that you do not see your joints.

Yeah - PVA primer is so cheap you're not really saving much if you recycle old house paint.

you don't want to thin your paint down ever-Or use kilz

use an oil primer-and don't go with just some cheap stuff either-unless you want to repaint it Right in a few years
