What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage, fast drying, and ease of application. Most report a single coat effectively blocks stains and dark colors, with many noting it dries quickly and applies smoothly. The water-based formula offers minimal odor, making it ideal for indoor spaces, and cleans up easily with soap and water. Reviewers highlight its versatility across surfaces including OSB, ceilings, cabinets, and exterior walls. A few mention needing two coats for very bold colors, and some find the consistency slightly thinner than alternatives, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by strong satisfaction and repeat-purchase intent.

Bit thinner than I expected

Would Recommend

This product works okay- I was expecting something with a lot thicker coverage. It’s kind of thin and runny, not thick. Still covers the wall but it’s going to take two coats to cover over the previous wall color.

excellent for the price

Would Recommend

I bought this because Kilz was out, or being replaced by this. for $99.00, I thought it would be crud, however, I was pleasantly surprised at the coverage. came out super thick. I needed to cover walls with dark grey paint on them. I used 2 heavy coats, and I almost was tempted to leave it the way it was, however, there was no sheen, so I topcoated with semi-gloss, 1 coat. Came out awesome. for 5 gal. price of $100.00, definetly worth the money :)
