Kilz primer is the Awesome

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally painted my walls with just paint and the walls were very bland. I decided to repaint and purchased Kilz 3 Premium Primer prior to repainting. Wow, what a different it made! The walls look so finished, making them smoother, cleaner, luxurious and it really enriched the color of the paint when I went back to repaint over the primer. Beautiful.

Great coverage and goes on smooth

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a really great product to use on bare wood. It went on very smooth and dried quickly. The coverage went a long way. We also had a very red wall in the living room when we moved in and used Kilz 3 Premium Interior/Exterior Primer to cover the red paint before painting with a neutral paint and it worked great!

Unexpected Benefit

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone knows that kills will hide stains very well. What I also discovered about this product is it sands beautifully and it holds the top coat better than I . Everything is uniform and the sheen looks perfect. It works like a high-end primer, stain killer, and undercoat. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a professional looking finish!

Best Primer for Any Surface

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used Kilz for multiple projects and never ever been disappointed. I have sealed floors that had pet odors, bright color wall paints, steel posts prior to top coating, and more.

NO BRAINER!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This option was a “No Brainer” for me! I used it in an Antique Furniture Restoration project and the finished product was excellent! I would recommend to everyone, who is thinking there is another product on the market that compares to KILZ, Don’t waste your time because there isn’t one. Consider this product a “No Brainer” and enjoy the results!!

Previous Owners Gift

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The previous owners left us with the most hideous wall colors. They had stenciled a boarder in the kitchen with several colors. They had also painted the bathroom trim in a peptobismal pink. I used kilz on both and it came out great.

Coverage and Finish

Would Recommend

Ive been painting homes and commercial property for years and after spend hours on prep and repair i like knowing that a base coat of KILZ 3 will make the finished product that much better and my comfort level that the top coat of paint will adhere and last longer is irreplaceable.
