    Best paint primer
    What is the best (and most inexpensive) indoor latex primer to use? One entire room is new drywalls & ceilings, the other is existing walls but patched with spackle. I think I need about 4 to 5 gallons.

    These terms " best (and most inexpensive)" do not fit together. Do you want the best or the cheapest, opposite ends of the spectrum. Go to a big box store and buy a 5 gallon bucket of contractor grade primer, runs about $45
