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

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.

🎨 Budget-Friendly Primer That Gets the Job Done

Skip this and buy something better
Would Not RecommendSo 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.
I liked the product have already used some of it

Watery with thin coverage
Would Not RecommendEven 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.

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.
