How many coats??
Just curious which is better when covering up a wall color with a new color......
Several coats of Primer (Kilz) and then one good coat of finish paint, or just one coat of Kilz, which still allows color to show through, and then a few to several coats of finish paint until previous color cannot be seen any more???
This is interior latex paint.
Thanks

If your existing paint is latex, there is no reason to use Kilz. Even if you are talking about the new Kilz 2 latex, my experience with it has been no good. Just use a good latex interior primer such as Benjamin Moore's Fresh Start, or Porter Paints Blankit.
I always tint my primer 3/4 of the finish color, prime once, then apply 2 finish coats.
If your walls are already finished in an oil-based paint, then you MUST use an oil-based primer. Most good quality oil primers will accept latex finish coats no problem.
Interior > 1 prime 2 finish
Exterior > double prime all the time
