I am priming new drywall with Bier's PV primer. I have scuffed teh primer coat with 220 grit screen and reapplied second coat of primer. Seams still photograph through finished color coat. What can I do to eliminate this? :wall:

If I read the question correctly, the finish coat will hide the seams. Drywalll primer is a little different than paint and doesn't have great hiding properties. As long as the drywall is finished properly, wall paint will cover well. 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of finish are usually preferable to 2 primer and 1 finish.
