What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage, strong adhesion, and ease of use. Most highlight its outstanding ability to cover stains, dark surfaces, and challenging materials like laminate, metal, and plastic, while blocking bleed-through and adhering firmly to slick surfaces. Reviewers consistently note the smooth spray pattern, quick drying within minutes, and rapid recoating capability. Many commend its versatility across diverse projects and surfaces, calling it a game-changer for professional results. A few mention slight grittiness if applied too closely or strong odor, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by positive feedback.

One spray can is only enough for a small project.

Would Recommend

Very thin. Perhaps that is necessary for adhesion but it doesn’t go far. Unless you must have no brush lines, just get the quart.

Works ok. Has a strong scent.

Drastic quality decline

Would Not Recommend

Easy to use and dries fast

Would Recommend
