What Customers Are Saying

This primer provides excellent adhesion and bonding, allowing paint to adhere well even on challenging surfaces like glossy, non-porous, or previously painted materials. It is easy to apply, dries quickly, and offers good coverage, often requiring only one or two coats. The low odor makes it suitable for use in occupied spaces, and cleanup is simple with just water. While more expensive than some alternatives, many felt the superior performance and adhesion made it worth the investment, especially for important projects.

Holding tight!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to use on a TV armoire that wood and particle board. It was very heavy and needed to be painted in the house so all over sanding in my living room was not an option. I painted 2 coats inside and out, followed by 2 coats of interior eggshell finish paint and 2 coats of satin clear acrylic. I am using this piece to store fabrics in.

Amazing Primer

Would Recommend

I just used this on a prefab french door that original unprimed paint was peeling(my bad). After scraping the other paint off, this went on so smoothly, dried quickly and the application of the glossy paint after was amazing. I'm a DIYER of many home projects and this has proven to be my new Go To Primer. Now to tackle the 60yr old trim...

Love my bathroom

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always hated the bathroom in my 1900 house. The walls were some sort of laminated foam with floral and leaf covered patterns everywhere, including the shower walls. After a good scrub down I used the kilz adhesion primer and I am so in love with having solid colored walls! I wish I had done this years and years ago!

Saved me

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had a really bad kitchen fire. And the smoke had been in the walls affecting my asthma severely even after scrubbing the walls and sanding them the smoke still affected me. We bought kilz to start the painting process and after just priming, I was actually able to sleep through the night without coughing uncontrollably. Kilz saved me from my asthma attacks.

Covers tile

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this primer to cover my ugly avocado green tiles in my bathroom. It took two coats, but it covered the tile and grout 100%. Then I was able to paint the tile and it looks amazing! I also primed my maple wood cabinets and then painted them this amazing grey.
