<p>This might be a stupid question, but can you use a paint-and-primer in one but still prime normally first, or does that not work any better? </p>
<p>I was trying to pick my paints more by the color than the brand or the type of paint, I’m rethinking now. I think some of the colors we had liked were the paint and primer in one behr paint, but I’d planned to use real primer anyway because our walls are all either VERY dark colors or they have cigarette smoke stains. We might switch to a different brand anyway but I want to understand how this works.</p>
