What Customers Are Saying

The primer provides excellent coverage, often requiring only one coat to effectively seal and block a wide range of challenging stains and odors, including from water damage, smoke, and pet accidents. It is a versatile product that can be used on various surfaces like walls, ceilings, wood, and concrete, and prepares the surface well for topcoat paint application. While the oil-based formula has a strong odor, customers find it worth the tradeoff for the reliable performance and long-lasting results.

The strong odor is worth the results. It’s

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Kilz original in many applications as a professional restoration painter as well as a homeowner. I have used it to resolve significant water stains as well as to seal off a subfloor saturated with dog urine before recarpeting after a tenant moved out. The quick dry component, and superior stain killing quality have made it a go to product.!

Years of smoke and grease

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to prime walls that hadn’t been painted in probably 20 years and were covered with smoke and stains. It worked great, only needed one layer and it also worked to take away the smell.

PRIME ONCE , PAINT ONCE

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We started painting 150 year old plaster walls. We were not using cheap paint. The walls were just sucking up the paint. The third coat still looked like water color thrown at the wall. A helper finally suggested Kilz. We used it on the rest of the rooms and the ceiling. After one coat of Kilz, one coat of paint looked ALMOST professional!

Great product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was not looking forward to covering the green wall in my bathroom, because i wanted it the same white as the rest of the room, but Kilz blocked it out in one coat! Was so thrilled when I was putting it on the wall and the green wasn't blending through! Highly recommend!

Easy to Use!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a necessity if you have an older home. I painted one bathroom without using Kilz and was disappointed in the results. I asked for help at the paint store and learned to make Kilz my first coat, especially in baths and kitchens. Yes, I will do the first bathroom over!

KILZ ORIGINAL Aerosol Interior Primer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] KILZ ORIGINAL Aerosol Interior Primer was perfect for a project I had. Water had leaked from a flat roof on our house. It came into our bedroom ceiling which was ceiling tiles. The wet water discolored our white tiles. I read that spraying KILZ ORIGINAL Aerosol Interior Primer on them would help. HELP? After spraying it on, there was no trace of the discoloring left! I am very pleased with this product!
