Re: help choosing the type and brand of paint to use for my kitchen
[ QUOTE ]
I'm painting my kitchen red this weekend, and I don't know anything about painting walls in a house except to mask off the area you're working on and stir the paint really well.
What is a good type of paint and brand to use with a limit of $40/gallon? My kitchen is rather small and has sheet rock walls that are already painted a medium tan color.

I would go with flat latex paint - especially for your kitchen since there aren't a lot of areas that are going to get splashed on (like behind the sink). I painted mine with semi-gloss the first time and hated the sheen. Went with flat the second time and it turned out great. You can still clean up minor spills on flat latex and be fine.
I don't think you need any primer, either. Kilz is best for ceilings and bathrooms where you think you might have water leaks because it kills mold.
just my $0.02.
Good luck
