I just primed my new drywall and am not sure if two coats is required. Two coats minimum of finish paint will be applied . The real question being will I be good with the one coat of primer? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

One coat is all you need. It seals the drywall and keeps the paper from getting the fuzzies. As far as finish coats it depends on the color. Dark colors don't cover as well.

Thanks , All is well got it primed w/behr and two coats finish paint. Coverage was good enough w/ the two coats. Now moving on to cabinets and floors. Cheers!
