What Customers Are Saying
The primer provides effective coverage and adhesion on a variety of surfaces like walls, wood, and drywall. Many users praised its ability to hide stains and discoloration in just one or two coats, going on thick and drying quickly to create a good foundation for the final paint. However, some reported issues with full coverage or adhesion, especially over dark or stubborn colors, and a few found it ineffective at hiding certain stains. Overall, the primer is considered a reliable and high-performing product that makes painting projects easier and results in a quality finish.

Disappointed
This didn't hide the stains on my wood trim like I would have liked to see. I ended up getting a 123 primer which did the job for me.

Great Product
Painting home with multiple walls that were painted with a dark color paint. It took two coats but covered up and matches walls that didn’t have dark color originally.

Good product
I am in the process of converting a basement room into a workout area. Previously, the walls had been painted with a product that had inadequate coverage. I used "Kilz Hide-All" to prime the walls. It fully coated and filled in the rough surface of the concrete walls. It left them ready for the top coat. It is a good product. If you purchase it, be forewarned that it is "thick". Saying that, I had no problems applying it with a brush. P.S. I ran out of Hide-All and had to purchase Kilz Hide-All ...

Rotten egg odor
Should this smell like rotten eggs? Mine does and I don't remember my last one having that odor.
Hi Jackson, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the bad odor. The product should not have a foul smell, and I do not recommend using...

Performs as Advertised
Great primer for new surfaces as well as great "cover up" before changing a dark color paint to a lighter one. It is my go to primer.

Hides dark colors well!
I bought this to hide blue and plum colored walls, and it did not disappoint.

Hi FishersNew, thank you for your review. I'm sorry that the primer did not work as expected. Unfortunately, Kilz Hide All is not a stain-block...
