HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams Power Interior/Exterior Multi-purpose Oil-based Wall and Ceiling Primer ( 1-quart ) Bundle

DO NOT BUY

Like many of the other negative reviews on this product, the paint was extremely watery and splatters really bad. Very minimal coverage per gallon. The worst part is the smell. I have used Kilz and ProBlock in numerous occasions and the smell would go away after 24 hours, but I painted the ceiling in one room and the smell was still just as strong on day 8 as when I first painted it. We had windows open and fans running but the extremely strong smell would not go away. I had to paint over this p...

Superior Primer

I felt confident about the primer referred by the attendant and went on smoothly and provided great bonding with the paint

Great coverage, a little messy

Covered up the 20 year old paint and mold stains in my bathroom completely. It leaves tiny splatters when using a roller so make sure you use a dropcloth. Must be cleaned with mineral spirits or gas. Razorblades also work well for hard surface removal. Paint applied beautifully over it though so 5 stars.

peels off

I worked for two days taping and spraying with this primer. I let it sit for several hours between coats. I used painters tape that barely stuck to it to paint different colors, when I peeled the tape off the primer came off with it. When I tried to sand it off it ruined all my sand paper.

Adheres great with good coverage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced all of the railing on my front porch with treated lumber and gave it 6 months to dry out before primer and paint. I needed a good primer before painting it. I really liked how this primer soaked into the wood and dried fairly quick. It also stuck nice to the old sanded vertical posts that had spots of old paint and primer on them. This 1 gallon goes a long way too. I also like that the primer is white so it won’t show through the wh...
