Being a contractor for the past 20 some odd years and doing everything from foundation work to roofing, I have found that Lowe's carries a new construction drywall primer that used to be called "first step" new construction drywall primer. I believe it is made by Valspar. It coats awesome and is easy to apply. I even use it to prime raw trim because it sands beautifully. But the best part is that it is only about $12.00 per gallon. If you spray your primer on new drywall, expect to lightly sand it after it dries with a sanding pole or sanding sponge. If you roll it on you are good to go. For a little trick, I get the people at Lowe's to tint the primer close to the finished color of the walls. This way you can usually prime and apply one top coat of the finished color. Hope this helps!
Oh yea, it is latex not oil.
