What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage, fast drying, and ease of use. Most note one coat effectively blocks dark colors and creates a smooth base, with many highlighting the rapid drying time—often less than a day—keeping projects on schedule. Reviewers consistently commend the minimal odor compared to traditional primers, making it ideal for enclosed spaces. The smooth application works well with brushes, rollers, and challenging surfaces like OSB and wood doors. Cleanup requires only soap and water. A small number report needing two coats over very bold colors, but overall satisfaction remains exceptionally high.

Thick primer at a reasonable price

Would Recommend

Used this to prime a fence before painting. So thick, I decided to water it down and it still covered great. Recommend.

Great Coverage - Highly Recommended

Would Recommend

Great coverage. We used this to paint over some very dark and bright paints in our son’s bedroom after he moved out, and it covered the walls beautifully! We’ll be using it again in my office, and in our guest bedroom—all of which were painted with very bright, and quite frankly, awful colors. Glad the paint tech at Lowe’s recommended it.

Good coverage

Would Recommend

I needed to touch up a few spots I hit on the ceiling while paint the walls a darker color. This had amazing coverage and was a fraction of the cost of the other options available.

Trusted and true!!

Formerly called Kilz, this primer is a workhorse for covering bad things on the wall and readying it for the paint color you desire.

The primer was applied to OSB and steel which had a sealer coating. Is was applied to a utility trailer. A color coat was applied with a one coat coverage.

Best primer! Quick and easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this primer for our laundry closet and playroom closet. It works soooo well and the coverage was fantastic! I love how you can add color to this if you need or want to. The primer seems durable so far and covered spots I had spackled. I will definitely be purchasing more for other renovations around the house and for our new build!!
