Yes you can. This is the primary reason why this type of paint was developed and most likely all it is really good for. It will still take 2 coats for the best look.
Yes, using paint that has primer in it as the initial paint on new drywall is a viable option. Paint and primer combination products have become popular in recent years due to their convenience and time-saving benefits. These products are designed to provide good coverage and adhesion on various surfaces, including new drywall.
When applying paint with primer on new drywall, it is important to ensure that the surface is properly prepared. This includes filling any imperfections, sanding the drywall to a smooth finish, and removing excessive dust. While paint with primer can help seal and protect the drywall, it may not always provide the same level of coverage and adhesion as a separate primer and paint system.
One key advantage of using paint with primer on new drywall is that it can help simplify the painting process by eliminating the need for an additional step of applying a separate primer. This can save time and effort, especially for DIY painters.
However, it is important to note that not all paint with primer products are created equal. Some may perform better than others, depending on the specific brand and formulation. It is recommended to choose a high-quality paint with primer product from a reputable manufacturer for best results.
Drywall primers, such as PVA primer, have many advantages over just applying a paint and primer combo. Drywall primers can neutralize the drywall PH, adhere the dust to the wall and bond much better with the new drywall surface. Plus drywall primer is much cheaper than a finish paint, using primer as a first coat reduces the overall material cost.
