One coat wonder! The primer that does it all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] KILZ 3 Premium interior/exterior primer is a game changer! It goes on smooth, covers like a champ in one coat. Perfect for textured walls so you don't have to slather on multiple coats to get the job done. Dries fast and walls have a smooth finish! If you want a primer that actually does its job the first time, this is it.

Colors bleed through even using multiple layers

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly don’t know the point of this product colors bleed through it even using multiple layers. Paint doesn even stick to it. Ive used Kilz in the past but this type seems to be pointless

Great coverage

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this primer on shiplap boards in our bathroom. Coverage was great and the primer smoothed the surface of the shiplap making the final coat of glossy white Behr paint roll on smoothly. Three years later the paint looks brand new.

Don’t use for fresh cedar

Normally have purchased standard Kilz and have been satisfied. First time buyer of Kilz 3. Had kiln dried cedar to paint. 1st coat bleed through. Second coat 12 hours later bleeding through mainly at knots. Would not recommend for fresh cedar.
