mixing primer with paint

[SpunkyTheMonkey]

i saw a painter today (not one of mine) mixing primer into the paint (trade matt) he was about to use on the inside of a garage which already had a couple of very pi**y coats applied some time ago.

he vanished before i got a chance to ask him about it and left his boys swinging rollers around.

i don't see what he's hoping to achieve...anyone have an idea?

What do you call this "primer"?

 

[gregers]

weve had a couple of so called decorators do this on a job i was on,once found out they didnt last long

Long as they don`t mix other stuff in the paint ....eh, mr. Monkey

Have you seen his telescopic roller pole then Nige?

I`ve seen him with a 6 inch distemper brush - lovely wrist action
