If you are only using the Kilz to hide the red than you should not waste your time or money with the application of any prime .kakhi covers great and 2 coats are probably all you will need. And never apply paint to thick(cracking can occur) and never to thin(it will not provide the servicablity the manufactuer intended).Need help with painting my home ( using kilz)?
It will be a thin coat. Make sure you let it dry 24 hours b-4 painting over it!
Use a light coat. Thick coats of paint can result in cracking of the paint film and sometimes lack of adhesion.





Kilz is a stain blocker, and I assume you are using it because red colors can sometimes *bleed* through, as opposed to just showing through. Even though you'll still see some burgundy through the coat of Kilz, it'll stop the bleed. Khaki will have raw umber in it, and should give you pretty good coverage over the Kilz.





BTW, when you're *not* going over something that might bleed, if you're changing colors drastically, a medium gray primer is actually your best bed. Gray covers very well, and most colors go over it without much show through.
