| I need to paint my master bedroom bathroom. There are four surfaces: semi-gloss on the ceiling, new drywall, new greenboard and larger areas where wallpaper was removed and the walls washed. Will one primer do for all four areas? Do I need to prime the ceiling or can I just sand and repaint it? I'd welcome all advice. |

Some depends on the primer but since you have it all ready, I would prime it all to get the same base to work with, only using a QUALITY primer
Zinnser Cover Stain or 123 would work as would Fresh Start |

| I'm with christophern, hit all 5 surfaces with a quality primer for the best outcome. On ceilings: it seems like a hard job to primer and paint a ceiling, but it's not that big a deal. It does help to wear a hat and put a drop cloth on the floor. Using a roller on an extension is great arm exercise and a bit of Zen besides. |

| I'd prime everything with Smart Prime by Zinsser. |

| Thanks for the good advice. I'd prefer not to use an oil-based or alkyd primer if I can help it. Will Smart Prime, 123 or Fresh Start seal any residual wallpaper paste that might be left on the walls? |

| Probably not but Gardz will |

| I was going to ask you if all paste was removed but didn't want to assume you didn't. If you are unsure, then GARDZ is your friend. |

| Thanks for the unanimous advice about GARDZ. Do I need to put a different primer on top or do I put two coats of paint on top of the GARDZ? |
