Georgia, just found a post on the HGTV (Faux Painting and Finishing) Board, by jodiesmith (I think), who had a very similar problem. The difference is, she wasn't using a primer, but a Kilz paint that supposedly didn't require a primer. She bought it at Walmart, and said that she couldn't even re-lo...

Georgia, I'm sorry you had such trouble. That can be so discouraging. Many of these possibilities sound plausible, but, like Mobtek, I think it sounds like a reaction to painting latex over oil based. What was the wall like when you first put the Kilz primer on it? Was it painted before, or the typi...

Look at that, Trudi - you spent enough time "in my kitchen" that you are now getting credit for the work! DOH!

Works for me!!!

Katie, I've been the proud sporter of these special "highlights" many times. Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks Trudi - At first I didn't care for the Green. I know that the Green-Tan combo is weird, but after having it for a few days I love it. The checkered floor should really help tie it together. It does, and the colors are very nice together. Here are the next pics. (BTW - I have uploaded full si...

Hi Katie, I used beadboard paneling in my "full time" home's kitchen, not a mobile home. (Makes no difference, since it's the beadboard we're talking about. :) ) Anyway, I kept it natural in the beginning, for the "country" look, with only a light, clear sealer. Later, for the Tu...

Love the green cabinets! They give everything such a fresh look.

Very nice job! Nothing like the feeling of completing a project and being happy with it, is there? Of course I'm going from memory, since it's been awhile since I've completed anything.

Very nice stone fireplace. You know how I like to play around in the PAINT program, if you remember the pic I posted of your kitchen. Just for fun, here's the fireplace. Oh, and I took the liberty of "painting" your walls too. :D http://mobilehomerepair.com/phpbb/userpix/2463_Curlylocks__F...

Absolutely delightful! Good for you for doing what makes you and your family feel good about your home.

Audie, you owe me a tube of mascara. What's left of mine is running down my cheeks, after reading this.

QUOTE: Added a $39 China sink and a $39 Faucet, but kept the Formica Top for right now. If I can find a $39 stone top I'll get it. yeah right. This will do fine. Hey, there's always paint to make it LOOK like stone. :lol: Seriously, it looks very nice. You got some good deals there. QUOTE: I can't b...

Yep, what he said.

Yanita was right when she said, "Make certain to wipe of the entire ceiling before you apply anything else. Even primer can not stick to dust, dirt, grime, grease etc..." If the primer has adhered everywhere but these large strips, it sounds like something was on the surface (in those area...

Good deal! I love the Habitat Store where I live, but didn't know about the one in Myrtle Beach. We have a mh in Little River, which needs some attention, so that's good to know. Thanks, and I'll be looking for your pics.
