paints

If not going boutique-highend type paint, I am a Benj Moore devotee. Don't care for Behr. In the end you really don't save that much in the scheme of things. There is a reason primer isn't generally combined with the paint. Use two steps.

Def go with 2 separate steps and stick to Ben Moore. I used the Behr 2 in 1 and I noticed that it had a rubbery finish compared to my other walls which were painted with BM.

Behr is not that great, go with Benjamin moore and it is not a bad idea to have them tint the primer the same color as the color/s that you will be using.

Tinting the primer is a given unless you are painting an off-white.
