  • Tadow:

    Yes. Tan is a much lighter color than olive green. I’d certainly prime the parapet.

  • Diane:

    Yes prime the parapet, I use KILZ as a primer, you can get it at Lowes/Home Depot paint dept.

  • J*Mo:

    Priming the parapet is always a excellent thought. It eliminates the need to use like 4 coats of paint!! Make sure you clean them first to remove residue and patch any holes or gouges to give the best refined look!

    Have fun!

    Hi. Yes, that might be a excellent thought. Painting a dark wall lighter is always hard! You may subdue need two coats of your color, but if you prime it, at least you won’t need three coats!!
