Need advice about latex paint

Also, I'd like to repaint with semi-gloss after using Kilz throughout the house. How long does it take the Kilz to dry and when would be a safe time period to repaint with semi-gloss paint?


Thankfully, my landlord is paying for it all if I can do it. Since he's allowing me to choose colors, I'm fine with it.

Thanks for the advice.

WOW!
Previous tenant needed meds?

You've been given good advice.
Just a comment, as a rule semi-gloss is used because it's so washable; ie kitchens,bathrooms and "kids" rooms.
I wouldn't jump on the semi-gloss if the walls aren't perfect. The semi-gloss will highlight the imperfections.

I'd suggest eggshell or flat enamel if I was speaking with a customer.
