So we recently purchased a house that was in dire need of paint EVERYWHERE!
Started out fixing nail pops in the drywall all over the place, touching up walls with spackle, etc. There were a few minor stains in one ceiling, so I bought some Kilz2 figured that would cover the spots, and would work for a good general primer. Wrong!
Every spot we spackled we spot primed with Kilz. Then put some good MAB interior paint over top of that. All the spots that had Kilz dried completely different. Even on the ceilings (flat paint) look horrible when the sunlight hits them. Looks like high and low spots, or eggshell/flat/gloss. See the attached photo - not the best photo, but shows the blotchiness the best. Check out the far wall and the ceiling.
So I have a few issues. Two rooms are completely done. Is there anything I can do to resolve these spots at this point? I gave one room a second top-coat to see if it would help - no difference.
Second problem - one room has already been spot primed with Kilz. Should I completely "prime" the walls and ceiling with a complete coat of Kilz? Or get a regular primer?
Any suggestions are really appreciated!
