What happens here

The reviewer addresses the paint's claim as a 'paint and primer in one.' While acknowledging the convenience, he expresses a professional preference for using dedicated primers when a surface truly requires it (e.g., bare sheetrock or drywall). He suggests that for surfaces needing a prime coat, a specific primer like a PVA (polyvinyl acrylic) would be applied first, followed by the top coat, as this can be more effective and cost-efficient than relying solely on a combined product.
