I do tend to use Zinnser 123 as a primer over the manufacturers ones. If you are going as far as priming and undercoating which is sometimes worthwhile depending on the substrate then the undercoat from the manufacturer is quite a good choice on top of the 123.
I'm using the Zinnser 123+ now, it's a bit more opaque.
An undercoat should have good levelling characteristics but that's been hard to find since the move to waterbased woodwork paints.

Ok, good to know, I think what they are recommending is a dual purpose primer/undercoat but they are pigmented to match the paint that is going on top of them so tempted to just go for that (partly for convenience). Would go with Zinnsarr if it was going to make a huge difference over the own brand stuff. Just have no bloody idea!
EDIT. Have just ordered the Craig and Rose Primer/undercoat to for the woodwork along with all the other paint.

So we've gone with Craig and Rose for paint for our kitchen, walls and cabinets, eggshell and they are recommending primer as well, they sell and undercoat/primer and i was wondering if it is worthwhile using their stuff or going with the likes of Zinsarr 123 for roughly the same money?
