Covers everything

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used kilz original oil based primer for the first time. I had used some BEHR products in a pantry that was stained with oils, burns, and who knows what else. That pantry came out looking brand new, shelves and all.

Great results

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the major paint companies doing away with oil based primers, we have switched to Kilz original interior/exterior primers. I still believe in oil based primers for exterior raw wood.

Great product.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it on areas with old water stains as well as general use. It covers old stains and they don't bleed through.

good buy, so so packaging

caught on over half price sale, should have bought more, had to order online, not carried in store. Although no cans spilled paint, 3 were dented pretty badly, bottoms bulged out even though they were individually boxed.

Amazing sealing all Ive tried it on

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stuff, always the first step of any floor or anything that moisture can hurt around homes and business alike. It really provides a water/moisture barrier from about anything you can throw at it. It is a game changer in restrooms and kitchens, floors, walls or ceiling, but I use it mainly on subfloors when I floor homes for customers

No longer stocked at lowes

I've used kilz for years, unfortunately Lowe's is discontinuing this product, but they are going to be stocking a Sherwin Williams brand that is also a good product.
