I am repainting a laundry room and had to patch some gouges. After doing so, I primed with Kilz premium. The original paint was a flat finish and after painting with a Behr eggshell finish I find that the primed areas stand out with a glossier sheen than the rest of the wall. Is there a way to eliminate this without having to prime the whole wall as I have a couple of other rooms to do as well and would rather not have to go thru all that trouble. Perhaps painting the primed areas with a flat finish first and then recoating with the eggshell? Or maybe just scuff sand the areas after painting to reduce the sheen? Hope someone can help!! Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul, the problem is that the areas where you painted Kilz are sealed much better than the other areas. So, the Kilz areas are looking the way the finish coat is supposed to look but the other areas are soaking in too much paint. You can paint everything in Kilz and then recoat the finish coat. If you put one more coat of finish without using Kilz....it may or may not solve your problem. Who ever painted the room, in the first place, probably did not put a good primer coat on.

It may look glossier because of the wall texture, The patched areas are smoother than the surrounding drywall. It is not really from the primer
