I needed a tintable primer to act as a high build
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was preparing to paint the exterior of a cinder block house and a lot of the paint had been faded away and peeled, plus over the years, painted over the old peeling paint. I needed a tintable primer for just one wall that was thick enough to act as a high build to make the cinder blocks smoother than they were - in short of striping the entire wall, which was not in the budget. Thick KILZ 3 did the job.

Good but not great..
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used the original Kilz or Kilz 2 on all of my past projects, but recently ran out. I had a can of Kilz 3 that a friend picked up for me, so I thought why not.. Let's give it a try! So far Kilz 3 tends to splatter much more with a roller and doesn't appear to have the coverage that the predecessors had on the initial coat. I noticed there also seemed to be a skin on the top of the paint tray after only walking away to get a differe...

Great coverage
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used Kilz primer. When we bought our house, we had a bedroom that had been painted entirely dark blue and another fushia. The previous owners had two teen girls. Only prep I did was washing the walls and ceilings down with TSP. Two coats of Kilz 3 primer covered it all, Can’t even tell what the prior colors were. First coat did cover, but I could tell some areas were a little thinner and looked a little dark. Looked great just wit...

Excellent Product!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the all purpose power primer and it was complete garbage. After two coats, the walls were thinly covered. So I purchased Kilz Premium primer. It did a phenomenal job! Even on the parts with a single coat of Kilz were well covered. Only Kilz going forward!

My go to for good adhesion
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the few primers I trust to stick to trickier surfaces and to block tough stains. (Especially with wood). I’ve painted for 17 years and I always recommend people use kilz3 for tougher jobs.

Made My House Livable!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my first home 3 years ago. I bought it as is from a heavy smoker, who was a dog owner. The smell was so bad it choked me every time i came in the front door- the first thing i did after cleaning it out was use Kilz from top to bottom in every. Single. Room. Kilz made my scary house a home and i felt so much better moving on to other projects. I went from questioning my decision and being overwhelmed to loving my home all because of Kil...

Coverage
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently had a repair on the ceiling in our garage. The repairman just painted over the stain after the repair. It wasn't to our standards as the stain bleed through. We used Kilz 3 to seal the stain. It worked wonders!!
