Not worth it

Would Not Recommend

Product was thin and didn’t cover. I painted my ceiling watermarks 3 times and could still see them. I followed it with a new can of plain ceiling paint which cost less than the kilz primer. One light coat and it was gone. Did the rest of the spots with just the ceiling paint. All covered well but yet the kilz didnt. I used to swear my Kilz. Not this can. This can sucked.

Great stuff

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff is great! Bought a fixer upper home and it was covered with graffiti inside and out. Used two coats of Kilz interior and exterior primer and there was no bleed through!! I recommend Kilz every chance I get!

Kilz primer the best you can get

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Kilz Primer for yours, for every project that requires a paint job. Weather it’s a remodel or a new job. When I need to re-plaster a wall, Kilz always goes on first. The paint goes further and I never have chipping.

No More Fire Sutt Smell!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was flipping a burn out house. The entire house stunk of fire sut oder. I hired a guy to go up into the attic and coat every rafter and exposed wood with the KILZ. It only took one coat. The bad burn smell was completely gone! It was a huge obstacle with such an easy solution and made my flip a success.
