blocks the Stain

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to block the stains coming through the 120+ year old redwood beams is my basement. Water stains from the kitchen were almost impossible to extinguish. Kilz to the rescue.

Nice white walls

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with product. Needed 1 coat to cover basement cinderblock wall that was painted by a previous owner. I was under a tight schedule as we were also getting glass block windows in the following week. Very happy I could open the old windows for ventilation. Went on easily with a roller, and followed with a brush in some spots.

Reliable,Easy-to-Use Primer That Gets the Job Done

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] KILZ 2® All-Purpose Primer is a solid choice for both interior and exterior projects.

It will cover polyurethane!!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The interior of my house was all stained pine covered in polyurethane. It looked like an ugly orange log cabin. Sanding down the whole house would have taken weeks, so we figured we would give kill a try and see if it would stick to the polyurethane and allow us to paint over it. The Kills worked fantastic. I was able to spray the whole house with Kills all purpose in a day. It covered the polyurethane perfectly and allowed me to paint the hous...

Kilz2 conquered an ugly garage job

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a long neglected garage closet in a nearly 70 year old house. It was badly stained by decades of old paint, oils, mold, and just plain dirt. Pressure washed it as a first step but the stubborn stuff remained. Hit back with 2 coats of Kilz2 and finished with a final coat of quality latex floor and wall paints. It looked like new and none of the stains bled through or reappeared.

Always use Kilz for all my projects

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used KILZ primer for a recent project and was impressed with how well it covered stains and sealed the surface. It applied evenly and didn’t feel too thick or difficult to work with. Dry time was reasonable, and it created a nice base for paint.
