I thought a high build primer is only spec'ed to cover sub-par drywall finishing.
New Custom Home

No need for a high build primer with the textures on all areas.

What S W product would you recomend ?
SW Primer...
preprite 200 or 400 or
zinsser 123 or
preprite problock if it's stained and such
-those are pretty much your options for general primers-
I personally use preprite 200 & zinsser 123 for ceilings

Why not P V A
Use 1 coat latex sw primer for drywall and 2 coats 200 satin top coat. Super satin for kichens and baths. Color accents flat or satin for dark colors.
200 satin is the best product on the market

Didn't mention it because it's not sold at my SW, actually I've never seen a SW that sold pva.Why not P V A
This is new construction/new drywall sorry for any misunderstanding
Some builders want the dry wall PVA'D before the texture, especially high end homes, it also may be that the texture crew will do the initial prime,check with the builder about that.This is new construction/new drywall sorry for any misunderstanding
The textures will suck up on the joints and stand up more on the dry wall it's self is the reason for the prime first.

Huh !?
Use the P.V.A. for new drywall....This is new construction/new drywall sorry for any misunderstanding
you can also have your primers tinted to 50% or more of whatever color the homeowner has selected for better coverage. If they are textured walls.....Backroll your primer and work it into the surfaces, it will save you from flashing spots.:thumbsup:
We use SWP 700 flat if they don't have a pva. It's plenty good. 123 is overkill. IMHO ,Mike
Yep...PVA it!
Definately use the PVA-type primer. 123 is indeed overkill there.
Promar 200?!??! Good Lord...there's lots better choices than that!!
C2's WBP (Wall-Board Primer) is fantastic if you're near a dealer...~$18/gal.
ACE-Royal has a good PVA primer...~$16/gal...consider that too.
If you're only priming ONCE, I'd do it AFTER texture's up. The Satin sheen will show more evenly....and YES...definately backroll it!

2x pm200 over pva will be plenty. Even for the high end home.
Just want to point out that SW has 200xp now, and it's billed as being 1 coat coverage. Haven't had a chance to see if the regular 200 formula has changed. This might be something to look out for.
In the past 200 has been unofficially a self priming paint.
