What Customers Are Saying

The Valspar Bonding Primer is a high-quality product that provides excellent coverage, adhesion, and ease of use.

It helps hide imperfections and previous paint colors, and dries quickly without requiring sanding between coats. The primer is compatible with both oil-based and latex paints, creating a strong bonding surface. While a few customers had issues, the majority of reviews were very positive, with many saying they would continue to use and recommend the product.

Blocks Old Colors

Would Recommend

Lowe’s paint salesperson was very helpful pointing me to this primer, to hid previous neon green color on walls, even with just the primer the rooms looks brand new.

Does not behave as stated

Would Not Recommend

Purchased this as a bonding primer for a piece of laminated furniture. Followed all of the instructions and it still did not bond well. The finished product which has Sherwin Williams Cabinet & Furniture paint on it is very disappointing.

Would Recommend

Was on the fence of using Bin primer and this, but with this product coming in at nearly half the price figured why not. AND.... was not disappointed, same results, great coverage even over heavy shade paint.

Bright color and Drys quickly

Dried quicker than I thought it would. I used less than I thought I would have to use due to it being so good.
