Primer . . . that actually covers the drywall!
'Tis an exciting thing . . . honestly. When I painted the basement bathroom, I used Behr's drywall primer. I can't say that I'm impressed with the product, as it took three coats to cover, and I really should've put on a fourth :-( Plus, it'd been frozen at least once, so there were large gobs of congealed paint, which made painting rather difficult.
So, when I went to prime the laundry room and basement (or, at least, that part of the basement that's been drywalled), I ordered some Acril-lok from the Home Hardware in Sutherland. Much, much better product, which covered the laundry room in a single coat. I think that I'll likely add another, as I can see just a few spots that I missed. But, considering that there's almost a whole pail--and one of those enormous ones--of drywall mud on the laundry room walls, that's not too bad.
