| DS2's condo is builder grade, one and a half years old. He says that when he tries to clean fingerprints off of the walls adjoining the staircases, paint comes off on his sponge. The builder used Pittsburgh Paints. It's a basic white. DS wants to repaint interior with Sherwin Williams or Ben Moore, both of which are nearby. What should he do to prep walls? What do you recommend he use? (He's probably going from white to a light gray, taupe, or greenish gray, as yet unsure, but not too dark.) |

| Hi Kitchen-D! His existing paint is a "Builder's-grade" Flat. I'm ~ 98% sure of that! * In this case, I wouldn't wash the walls since the whole place is new. Faron |

| Thank you soooooooooo much. DS had builder upgrade various wiring, systems, stuff inside the walls, but nothing that you actually see when inside, figuring he could do that later. Upgraded paint was not even an option, anyway. |
