Can I primer a wall twice?

Question

I'm trying to paint a light well onto a wall that was dark purple... we primered over it once but the purple is still very much there. Should I put on a second coat of primer or just start painting with my yellow? Only a few of the walls in the room are dark purple the rest were ready to go after being primered once.

Answer 1

It will be cheaper to add another coat of primer/sealer if you have it tinted as close to your final color as possible. When going form a dark to light tint it may take as many as four or more coats. Good Luck

Answer 2

You can prime as many time as you want.  What I would do is a small little section in a corner with the yellow and see if it will cover the purple.

Answer 3

Definitely do another coat, or two if you need to, you don't want any purple showing through your yellow!

Answer 4

I would prime it again.  Primer is cheaper than paint and you really don't want that purple showing through the yellow.  Uck.
