    Hi - I'm painting the kitchen walls today. I've primed over a good few spots where there were coloured marks from kids, filled in screws nail and screw holes etc. I used BIN primer. I'm applying the first coat and the primed spots are jumping right out. They are a much lighter colour than the rest of the wall and the paint is staying wet here.
    I'm using water-based ceramic matt for the top coat. I thought BIN could work with anything.
    Any ideas? Will it dry out ok?
    Thanks for any advise.

    It soaking into the emulsion faster than on the BIN primer, the bin primer is schellac based. It'll just take a little longer to dry, but it will dry back fine.

    Hi again. So I finished up the first coat last night and when I came down this morning there are quite a few spots that are shiny. The colour is fine but they do stand out when you look at the wall at an angle. I reckon I missed sanding some primed spots?
    I always intended doing a second coat but what's the best way to make sure those spots come out right? Should I sand over them before the second coat? Or should the second coat on its own take care of it? I don't want to sand back too far by mistake and ruin the wall.
    Thanks a lot!

    Just touch up the shiny spots to give them an extra coat before you give it all the final coat

    2nd coat should take care of any flashing areas. If you want hit those affected areas first now with a coat then do the 2nd coat.

    What finish is the paint your using??
