What Customers Are Saying

This bonding primer is highly effective for a range of painting projects, providing strong adhesion and smooth application. It offers excellent coverage and sealing capabilities, even on difficult surfaces like paneling, cabinets, and previously painted walls. The primer is described as thick and high-quality, often requiring only one or two coats to create a solid foundation for the top coat. Many users found it successful for both interior and exterior applications, helping paint adhere to slick or problematic surfaces. While a few customers reported issues with adhesion or peeling, the majority were very satisfied with the primer's performance and would recommend it, especially for challenging painting jobs.

I like it

Would Recommend

Used this on a screend in front porch in Florida. The primer is very thick and I found it easy to apply with a regular 1/2" nap roller. I used 1 coat over a previously painted concrete floor. I only let it dry for 1 hour at about 65 degrees with about 60% humidity. I then topcoated it with 2 coats of Valspar porch and floor paint. It got rained on the next day but has held up well despite less than ideal conditions. A week later I had to scrub the porch to remvove melted cat litter with no adver...

bonding primer

Would Recommend

I didn't realize a pre primed ready to paint may not be so. Primed with oil paint & wouldn't accept the latex paint. Once I put the bonder on I was able to paint easily and am now assured my paint will stay on.

Ugly color cover

Would Recommend

Tinted primer to cover a bright lime green so we could paint the wall white with a blue accent wall. One coat was all we needed. Very pleased with results.

thick

I have used primers before, but I really like this one. It went on smooth, stayed on my brush and didn't run all over the place. Sealed up the woodgrain nice.

We used this on dark work paneling before painting it a light yellow. Everything was completely covered and we only needed one coat of the yellow paint.

Outstanding primer

Would Recommend

We purchased this primer on the recommendation of the Paint Dept Manager at our local store. We had originally bought Bullseye 1-2-3 and Kilz, this based on some reviews of the Kilz product. The manager disagreed and recommended the Valspar bonding. Part of the project was covering over wallpaper (very well put on) and stained vanity cabinets. While I kinda thought we may have purchased cream-colored peanut butter rather than primer when we opened the can (it is very thick), it did go on smo...
