What Customers Are Saying
The product is generally viewed as high-quality and effective for priming and sealing drywall, with most customers reporting great coverage, easy application, and excellent results. However, a minority of customers had negative experiences, finding the primer to be too thin with poor coverage and hiding ability. For best results, customers recommend using a fine roller and applying multiple coats if needed to achieve full coverage, especially on new drywall.

🎨 Budget-Friendly Primer That Gets the Job Done
This interior drywall primer definitely filled a need. I had several patched areas after mudding and needed a reliable base coat before painting. It exceeded my expectations. The primer went on smoothly, dried quickly, and did an excellent job covering both fresh drywall and darker paint underneath. I was especially impressed that lighter paint colors didn’t show any bleed-through, which saved me time and extra coats of paint. My experience using this product was overall very positive.

So thin and cheap. Not worth saving the $10-15. Goes on so thin. Would have needed at least three costs. I switched to Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Interior/Exterior Multi-purpose Water-based Wall and Ceiling Primer and only needed one coat.

Drywall Interior Drywall Water-based Wall Primer
The Drywall Interior Water-based Wall and Ceiling Primer is fantastic! It goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and creates a perfect base for painting. The coverage is excellent, and it really helps to seal the surface and hide imperfections. I noticed a big difference in how my paint adhered and looked after using this primer. It’s low odor and easy to clean up, making the whole process hassle-free. Highly recommend it for anyone tackling drywall projects!

Great primer
It blended in well with existing color and didn't have to add any paint to it.
