Fresh drywall sucks up a lot of paint. It’s better to saturate the pores with a few coats of cheap primer beforehand just so you don’t waste your expensive paint, but some extra coats of regular paint work just fine too. It helps to intentionally overwork the paint because it causes it to eggshell more giving it the texture of a wall that has been repainted, just don’t overwork the last coat. | Fresh drywall sucks up a lot of paint.
