Is it really important to use primer on new drywall? Or, can the first coat of latex paint be considered a "primer" that will seal the drywall?
Thanks! |

If you want a hassle free job use the primer,I would never warranty a new drywall job that hasn't been primed 1st.
Also primer is alot less expensive than it is for the paint so it will also save you money. |

Yes primer is the best way to go when painting new drywall and that is if you are going to use flat or a satin/eggshell finish. It seals the wall better than flat paint and will give you a better looking job. It is good to be back after 9 days without electricity from hurricane Isabel. |
