Can you use a ceiling white paint as a primer for the walls?

  1. I will have to offer a differing opinion to the previous answer.

    I will recommend against using a finish as a primer. Primers are designed to adhere to a wide variety of surfaces. Finish paints should be applied to non-slick surfaces.

  2. Yes and no.

    Yes; If the intent of the ceiling paint is to cover up a color before applying another color (white ceiling paint over dark color before the application of another light color). Paint on paint.

    No; If you want to use it as a primer. Primers have specific properties and intended uses. Jay is correct.
