Question 4

I'm curious about the recommended two coats. I intend to use the primer on all my surfaces mostly drywall that's been painted or ceilings which have been done with drywall and a skim coat. I have done some filling of holes and sanding as prep. Finally my question: if all my surfaces are primed with ECOS, do you still recommend two coats of paint, or will one coat on a primed surface suffice? Thanks, Danny F View answer
