Prime/Paint in One

Has anyone tried the Behr paint with the primer in it? I'm thinking it's probably not a good product for our vinyl wallboard.
The same with the Kilz custom colors with the primer in it? Buying paint is only a few days away....

I have not used either on vinyl wallboard, but they both are top rated paints.
I have used the Kilz ceiling paint, GREAT paint. Greg

Greg how did the Kilz go on for you?
I hear so much about Sherwin Williams and Ben Moore, but they're so expensive, and I like that Kilz has primer mixed in with the paint...

I used it on the cielings, all 80' of it. We have popcorn cielings so you can't just grab a roller and go to town ( if you do the first pass softens it and the second pass lifts the popcorn off the cieling) I had to use the "dab it on" process so it went S L O W. It looks fine and the few stains that were on it did cover very well. The new paint did make a huge change in the way the house looks. Greg

I haven't used the Behr 2 in 1 products but i Have used the Valspar paint/primer in one. I still needed 2 coats of a medium green (actual color was jungle chameleon) over an offwhite wall.
