Interior paint works fine. I use Bear primer & paint combined. Less painting that way.

  This is not strictly true: she is asking about PLASTER, which means they have not been primed. You must use primer first of course, then 2 coats of Behr or whatever you like.

That is good... good site. It seems the primer is key. I'll be doing a lot of DIY painting this month... Thanks for posting this
