What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage, fast drying, and easy application.

Reviewers highlight smooth, streak-free application, quick drying time, and low odor with easy water-based cleanup. Many describe it as excellent value and reliable quality.

Doesn't perform well

Would Not Recommend

This requires multiple coats to evenly cover old paint for a uniform base for your new color. Same thing when prepping new drywall. This wastes both money and time. Worst of all, even A YEAR after topcoating with brand new, same brand latex, the topcoat can just peel off; they're not adhered. PASS.

We apologize you were not satisfied with the coverage for your project. The coverage can depend on the color you are using, the color you are paintin...

Fume free primer!

Would Recommend

This primer is fantastic! It doesn’t have an awful smell - I have asthma and other primers cause it to act up. This primer barely even has a noticeable scent. It covers well and worked great. I would highly recommend it for fume free painting 😊
