Painting & Wallpapering - new drywall painting


Expert: Tony Gallagher - 6/25/2009

Question
If I would use that paint with the texture in it on new drywall, would that be like my primer and then I would put my color on top of that?

Answer
Mary,

You have a choice really, if you can obtain the textured finish in the shade you require the just apply the one product.

If not then you can overcoat with a colour, but be careful not to choose a high build finish as this may eliminate the texture.


Hope this helps.


Regards,


Tony
