What do our experts make of the 'one size fits all' approach of certain paint manufacturers, particularly on the interior latex side, where one paint is both a primer and a top coat? I believe Glidden markets one of their paints this way. Of course builders have been turning a blind eye to contractors using a normal latex as a primer with the addition of a little water and then the next coat as the top coat.
