Is it ok to use 2 different brands of primer in 1 room?

Question

They are both plain white primers with no tints. One is brand new Kilz and the other is...well I dont know because the can is covered in primer and it is about a year old but it still has a half gallon left. Will my walls look whack if I use both?

Answer 1

you can use them as long as both have the same base ,meaning latex with latex or acrylic with acrylic, so go ahead

Answer 2

I don't think it will make a difference. If they are both white, you should be good to go.

Answer 3

um it might you might not want to because diffrent brands of paint's can look diffrent even white u might want to get another thing of new kilz. hope that helped.good luck

Answer 4

oil base primer ... you clean with mineral/spirits or paint thinner and it smells like kerosene... takes longer to dry but is more durable and covers usually in 1 coat... Latex primer .. you clean with soap and water.. dries in less time .. somtimes covers in 1 coat. Don't mix the 2..... Kilz is a #1 product  and it is oil/based ..open the windows before and during painting .. use paint thinner to clean the brush ..  throw the roller away.. it cost more to clean it . If your priming to make sure the paint looks good in 1 coat, why take the chance of maybe using 2 different types of primer 1 oil based the  other possible water based?.. Do  it right the 1'st time  you'll be happier in the end ....TIME,, MONEY,, EFFORT.. good luck

Answer 5

The texture is the same in all primers...

Answer 6

It does not matter. Mix then if you like then you keep a same color primer because you'll mix both the whites. And then do 2 coats of your color to make sure its nice and filled. Good luck and Have fun.
