One Step Primer And Paint is the latest advance in paint MARKETING but not in painting ease, economy or quality.  The ads for these One Step paints make you think that you always should use primer.  That is not true.  Sometimes you need a primer but there are different primers for different purposes.  Simply put it may be overkill, adding extra cost to the can of paint and not saving you any time or effort. In a lot of instances you do not need to use primer.  First before you purchase anything find out if you do and then what type. Look at the label on a can of regular paint.  You probably could find one on sale. It will tell you if you need a primer for your project and what type. If you need to prime then these all-in-one paints may save you a step but look closely at their labels.  Some recommend  two coats to do the job properly or list special situations when you should prime first anyway.  In this case ask your self, "what is the point of spending extra money for this paint if I still need to do 2 steps?"  If you buy the proper primer and finish paint separately you might save money and most likely you will end up with better results. If you do not want to waste your time, money and energy using the wrong products, find out what you need first.  Then you can make an informed decision.  It is not hard.  The labels on most cans will provide you with the information you need to make a decision. Call or send an email if you need more help. Herb Jaffe ...read more
