Getting several new Relia-Bilt pre-hung doors textured from Lowes. I know, I know, "You pays yer money and you takes yer chances w/Big Box stores. I'll be painting them white. The painting directions' sheet says not to prime beforehand and just apply one or two coats of top.
I usually don't paint almost anything w/o a primer. We're not talking bare wood here or light color over dark. But this is a different animal. Any opinions? Can I get away w/o a primer and still get a good painted finish? The jambs, by the way, aren't that smooth finished stuff. I specifically ordered wood. Even though they'll come primed, should I prime the jambs again before painting?
Oh, and any advice on rollers, brushes, etc.? Thanks.
