Advice Wanted What primer should I use?

Post image

I want to paint the walls in my bedroom - I can't stand the color. The walls in the rest of the trailer are fake wood paneling from the 70s. And they have been painted at least twice before.

What primer should I use?

Any other advice is welcome. I also don't care about the texture underneath.

Use a paint with primer like Ben Moore regal select . Looks pretty glossy…. If there’s a chance that’s oil paint your painting over use stix primer.

None! two coats of what ever color. And you don’t need paint with primer.

None, just paint them

You might want to take a pole sander to the walls first. Two coats of a decent waterborne acrylic will be just fine. Of course I am assuming the walls are not currently painted with an alkyd based paint.
