Ratings & Reviews for KILZ Adhesion Interior/Exterior Bonding Water-based Wall and Ceiling Primer ( 1-gallon )

Primer for metal doors.

I had a new metal door with a factory enamel-like coating. No other primer would stick to the door in preparation to paint it with a premium plus quality stain-blocker paint & primer enamel. Kilz Adhesion did the job and did not peel, and created a printable surface for enamel paint.

Great on painting mirrors!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I restyled (2) semi matching China cabinets, however 1 had a mirror in the back panel. To update the look, I painted over the mirror with Kilz Adhesion and then used latex paint over the Kilz. Turned out perfect using your product

Great Adhesion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a professional for over 2 decades, both with contractors and private companies. We had a job , painting new plastic panels for a waterpark activity structure during a the covid shutdown of 2020. I needed a high adhesion primer that would adhere to plastic but also not lift or bubble, when finishing with an 2 part MEK based industrial, marine epoxy the customer picked out. Excellent finished job. !

Best Primer for Painting Cabinets - No Sanding!

This is by far the absolute best primer for painting cabinets when you don’t sand off the top coat. If you washed the surface well enough, after this stuff cures (a little over a day, it will NOT come off.) Heaven forbid you don’t clean it off your skin or hair before the 24 hour mark … I have literally had to cut it out of my hair and use Goof Off to get it off my skin, it works that well. I sand it lightly before topcoating and get professional finishes. (Do not use it on freshly sanded oak...

This has to be the best primer ever made

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so happy with Kilz Adhesion primer. I bought a house with walls and ceilings all painted with glossy paint. I like flat paint, so I'm repainting the whole house, but I have to use a primer first so that it sticks to the old glossy paint. I read online reviews saying how good Kilz Adhesion is, so I gave it a try. It's amazing. It goes on so smooth and opaque that I actually have fun painting it on, which is saying a lot! It just kind of slip...

Lintel Restore

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product to cover the rust spots on the windoe and garage door lintels. Easy to use ,worked great and looked good.

Adhesion exterior primmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used as primer on 36 year old "Masonite" type siding. Power washed, sanded one coat Adhesion followed by two coats acrylic latex sold stain.. I tested Adhesion primer two years ago on the house and it outperformed two other high bond primers.

Best primer on the market !!!!

Outstanding!!!! Don’t bother with anything else !!

DIYer's Dream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am currently working on a furniture project and wanted to prime before painting. A couple of the pieces were a combination of wood, plastic, and laminate so I needed a primer that would stick to the entire thing without chipping or peeling. I was skeptical but bought the adhesion primer to give it a shot. This stuff is THICK, it has a batter like consistency but the application is surprisingly smooth. So far I've tried it on cured resin, plas...

Perfect for countertops

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm doing a faux marble painting technique on my counters. I needed the best bonding primer available. After some research, I chose Kilz Adhesion. It sticks to anything, and anything sticks to it. I'm very happy with the results!

A DIYer’s dream come true!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m undertaking the daunting task of painting my kitchen cabinets, and this product is incredible. Makes paint stick to anything, goes on smooth, and a small amount goes a long way. Thanks Kilz!

Great primer for kitchen cabinets

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used a beer water base cabinet primer and brown spots kept coming through the primer. I then bought the kilz and the texture was so smooth and coverage was excellent. I will never use a different primer

Great on beat up wood

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We do restoration for an 1867 lighthouse. Going over lead based paint on beat up wood and plaster. Your product rocks! Provides a good base on tough to paint surfaces.

Worked Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we had a rental, that was none smoking and the renters smoked, so after they were evicted we used Kilz Adhesion to get rid of the smoke smell and seal the paint on the walls, it worked amazing and you could not tell the home had ever been smoked in.

Perfect For My Shed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used it to seal and protect all the wood on my shed. The bugs hate it and looks brand new even though it's ten years old.

Great bond coat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a hard glossy surface to coat and with a light sand and Kilz adhesion primer it has held up perfectly. No chips or Perl and the finish looks great!

Kilz-2 Interior/Exterior Primer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed for cedar siding - paint just wouldn't stay on. This product makes paint stick!

Easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this product to cover two interior doors that had been painted with high gloss paint. The Adhesion Primer applied as easily as paint, dried quickly and I was able to then paint with a flat paint. It worked better than I hoped it would and the finish is beautiful. Used this also in the interior door frames. I highly recommend and appreciate this product.

Amazing Coverage

I've used this product to cover over oil based paint. The coverage is amazing. It only takes one coat to cover over the old paint. In comparison Zinsser 123 primer takes 3 coats to get the same coverage. It's totally worth the extra cost and the company has the best customer service I've ever experienced. I will never buy another brand of primer again.
