Outstanding material

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff is amazing. Spray or roll do one coat. Let it dry. Shoot it again. You have a glass finish. It's perfect and it even kills stains unknowingly

Just what I needed for my dry wall.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As usual a leaky roof in the south is common with our hot summers and humidity. Nails and shingles can be affected so when I noticed a leak onto my ceiling, I needed a product to seal the stain and prep it for the finished paint job.

🎨 Budget-Friendly Primer That Gets the Job Done

Would Recommend

This interior drywall primer definitely filled a need. I had several patched areas after mudding and needed a reliable base coat before painting. It exceeded my expectations.

I was especially impressed that lighter paint colors didn’t show any bleed-through, which saved me time and extra coats of paint. My experience using this product was overall very positive. It’s a wa...

Skip this and buy something better

Would Not Recommend

So thin and cheap. Not worth saving the $10-15. Goes on so thin. Would have needed at least three costs. I switched to Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Interior/Exterior Multi-purpose Water-based Wall and Ceiling Primer and only needed one coat.

Drywall Interior Drywall Water-based Wall Primer

Would Recommend

The Drywall Interior Water-based Wall and Ceiling Primer is fantastic! It goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and creates a perfect base for painting. The coverage is excellent, and it really helps to seal the surface and hide imperfections. I noticed a big difference in how my paint adhered and looked after using this primer. It’s low odor and easy to clean up, making the whole process hassle-free. Highly recommend it for anyone tackling drywall projects!

Watery with thin coverage

Even after two coats it covers worse that the premium product. Avoid this one. Spend the extra $10 and get a good primer.

Fresh Start

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have pets which means pet odors. Before starting a painting project in our house, we used Kilz Primer and the walls were an odor-free, clean slate for our room transformation. We will not use any other primer in our house.

Killz restoration- seals out kitty p

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mother’s barn cat sprayed the floor of my mother’s room like crazy. I took up the carpeting in the area, cleaned the floor then used Restoration on the floor. The smell hasn’t returned even when it’s humid. Pretty great product.
