Don't paint, KILZ IT, Babycakes!

If you need to paint over a dark color, or even wallpaper use KILZ Primer Sealer. I've used KILZ several times and it is great for "painting over" darker colors. Remember though, it is ONLY a primer, you'll still need to paint your walls again with actual paint. Speaking of paint, use water-based latex to ease and speed-up clean-up. Use "flat" colors for walls and "semi-gloss" or even "gloss" for trim (gloss finishes are washable) In kithcens and baths, where there is water, use "gloss" finishes, too -- for ease in cleaning up. I've used this technique many times and I ALWAYS get my deposit returned. Get it in writing with the landlord, too. Be clear about what YOU intend to do, and what you expect your landlord to do when you move and get signitures.

Whatta LewLew!
