would just go to sherwin Willams and ask them and pay a bit more. You could also just do that chalk paint.
Bottom line is I got a degree and became a bigshot so I didn’t have to paint ever again. So in the past 15 years I’m sure their has been some improvement
I was considering going over there. Thanks for the feedback.
I did the same thing to get out of shite work, but I enjoy working on projects. The difference is that it's enjoyable when you're doing the work for yourself and not being paid to do it for someone else.

Birch will take the paint, its more complicated if you’re painting some old dog eared planks or just old wood in general. If it’s white you can look for a good paint/primer combo. Get a good roller pad with about a 3/8 in.. nap, and some mineral spirits or MEK in case of spill/clean up.

Subtle admission that you've never actually worked on any do it yourself type projects before.
No sir, quite the opposite. Im currently in the middle of doing complete paint on home..stucco, edges, garage doors, frames, etc...many of the wood. But feel free to think you know.
Point is, when you go buy the paint, there is a paint specialist and also a wood specialist in that store. I assume OP needs paint, by the original post.

Latex

Kilz then a low gloss interior paint should be fine

Kiltz first then get some paint made for baseboards and door casings.

Use a fine tip Marks-O-Lot, I think that would be more important than the paint.

I'd just use 2 coats of Killz and see if it needs anything else. I would not use oil based, for starters it'll yellow over time, secondly it'll create a surface that won't take marker well. Same goes for any door, trim, cabinet latex paint. You'd still be able to write on it, but the marker would smear and not dry well.
Go with Killz/ Sand/ Killz and maybe a cheap latex interior semi gloss if you still need a final coat.

Just get an aerosol can of kilz then a quart of flat interior latex paint. Paint and primer in one does not exist. It's a marketing gimmick made up by the paint companies, and this is 100% fact.

at "paint specialist"Posted on 5/2/18 at 8:53 am to Steadyhands
If you use flat, make sure it’s a scrubbable flat. Otherwise, you’ll have smudges all over it. The greater the sheen, the better durability.

Another good recommendation...thank you.

Don’t use latex on wood! Especially if it is going to be touched or used.

Oil based white primer.

If you want the wood grain to still show through you can white wash it. Mix equal parts of latex paint and water. Even though it's called white washing, you can use any color you want.
If you don't want/care about the grain showing, I'd use chalk paint. It's really thick so there's no need to prime and it's "ultra matte" so there won't be any shine at all.
