teturing walls

Well, I see that I cannot spell in the subject line of my original post. Sorry.

Quoting here from the spray texture I've used:

"Surfaces must be dry, clean, firm and free of dust, dirt, oil, wax, loose paint and plaster." No mention of gloss-paint.

When you top posted, the thread quote was clipped by the server.

Thank you, Oren. I guess I can proceed without primer. Will check on the label of the texture I end up buying.

Since my comment only pertained to the subject line, and not the text of the post, I guess that's okay.

I have re-textured walles with semi-gloss, and it works fine....if you can swing it...spray the primer.

good luck,

There really isn't much need for primer. You're better off simply using 2 coats of quality paint - the first acts as primer. There is no need for specialty primer because the texture coat is pretty much by definition clean, dry, and a good substrate for paint. Another reason is that you might be perfectly satisfied with the first coat only of a quality paint.

Thanks, Jeff.
