Hello everybody, I was browsing for a popular DIY chatroom so that I could learn a bit from forum threads and posts.
I am trying to paint the whole upstairs of my home which required extensive patching after I had knob & tube removed. All the patches are smooth to the touch. Walls are plaster with drywall compound on them.
I went to home depot and purchased the following primer/sealer that I plan to use inside the home:
BEHR PREMIUM PLUS Interior Enamel Undercoater, Primer & Sealer,

My first question, location bathroom:
I do realize that we need to use a special mold and mildew resistant paint in the bathroom.
I purchased Zinsser Mold and Mildew Proof Washroom/Kitchen paint.

This paint is a primer/paint in the white color.
I applied the Zinsser paint in the bathroom and it shows some small imperfection with some drywall compound patches. Am I able to use the Behr Premium Plus primer/sealer that I want to use in the other rooms in the washroom, then paint with the zinsser?
I want to have the bathroom a different color then what the Zinsser product is (white), would I be safe to paint over the Zinsser paint with the color of my choosing?
Here is a photo of how the walls came out with the Zinsser paint applied:
My next question is regarding the rest of the rooms.
I starting painting the ceiling in the office with the Behr Premium Plus primer. It was coming out great. My idea goal was to use a primer/paint for the ceiling but I figure this might be a good option instead, no?
I painted one wall to test how the patches were being covered up by the primer.
This was the outcome:
Would it be best to put on a second coat of primer on the wall? or would one coat suffice? The color I want to go with is not neon green but a flat teal.
Thank you
