Sallie: Any good "cover-up" primer will work. One I have used is "Kilz" which now comes in latex base, so oil chemical fumes and off-gassing is not a problem. If you are using this is the collections or storage area, you will still need to ventilate for several days after applying because latex based paint sometimes off-gasses ammonia fumes.
