What is the best paint to use when painting over very dark colors on the walls.?

I am repainting the interior of my house back to white before it goes up for sale.What is the best paint to use when painting over very dark colors on the walls.?
The best product I have found is the Kilz 2 it is paint with the primer inside it. It puts two ateps into one. It is available in a broad range of shades and is about $16 at Walmart. I have used it several times and it covers in just one coat. Possibly two if the walls are really dark but I have covered red in just one.What is the best paint to use when painting over very dark colors on the walls.?
Apply a white primer first then apply your paint.
I would start with a primer. Regular paint by itself might not be enough to cover the dark colors. Primer can be found next to the paint wherever you are going to buy it.
You should always apply primer before painting walls with a colour lighter than the present one.
For walls made of concrete, you can always use flat-latex white paint as a base coat (1 coat only) and then apply semi-gloss latex white (2-coats) to get your wall back into bright white.
My favorite primer is KILZ. It is tintable, which means that you will be using less paint to achieve desired results. Just have the paint store tint the primer to a shade near to what you are using for the paint. You will be happy with the coverage. Drying time is just one hour with KILZ, and it is soap and water clean up. Using this product will allow you to use the less expensive paints, but still get great looking results. Hope this helps.
Like the others have said, primer will help you get through the job easier. One coat of a decent primer will cut your painting job tremendously by blocking the old color and sealing in any stains. It costs about half the cost of paint, so it makes your job go more quickly, especially if you've got any really strong colors that might otherwise take 3-4 coats to cover all the way.





The other thing that seems counter-intuitive but is true is that the better quality the paint that you buy to do the job, the less it will cost and the quicker it will go. Cheap paint doesn't have the same amount of solids in it, so you need twice as many coats and twice as much paint to do the same job. I'm a huge fan of the Behr enamel paints at Home Depot. If you're doing a light color, you'll do well to get an enamel in an eggshell finish for about $21/gallon. It should be a quick and easy job, should clean up without a problem, and if anyone slops a hand on your walls during the open houses, the paint is scrubbable and won't wear off. Beats the heck out of the cheap paints from Walmart or the hardware stores that are a lot cheaper, but need 3 coats and can't be cleaned...can only be repainted.
if you want white you can buy KILZ 2 Its latex and a great primer
