| It's been awhile since I've painted...
The last coat was Muralo Ceramic. I plan to repaint the kitchen and living/dining rooms.
Should I just go ahead and prime all the walls with untinted primer which is a +++ cause I can just buy a 5 gallon bucket. Or it's ALL in the prep and it's best to use a tinted primer that is tinted to whatever paint I am using. |

| It depends on the colors you have chosen. If you have picked a color that will not cover the white primer in two coats, then you may have to apply an extra coat. |

| if the walls have been painted before, you don't need a primer unless you are covering up strongly different shades. Dark colors over light - a grey primer helps Other than that, unless you have extensive wall patches to cover, just paint. |
