painting kitchen

I'm going to be painting my kitchen. Right now, I'm filling holes and sanding the walls. The old paint is semi gloss. My question is, after sanding and cleaning, can I put semi-gloss on top of that? I've always changed from semi-gloss to an eggshell finish, but since this is the kitchen...


I'm also wondering that perhaps I should only use semi-gloss on the backsplash area. Either way, is the paint that contains primer in it, be a decent alternative to buying gallons of primer?

Good, thanks. In the past, I've done semi over semi with prep, but didn't want to cut corners. And fwiw, I always thought the primer in the paint itself was exactly what it is. Thanks for that confirmation.lol
