What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage and hiding power, with most reporting that one coat effectively covers dark colors, stains, water damage, and crayon marks. Reviewers highlight its versatility across drywall, wood, laminate, and exterior surfaces, noting quick drying, low odor, and strong adhesion. Many describe it as economical and easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray. Long-term users report 20-plus years of reliable performance. A few mention needing two coats on heavily worn surfaces or noting stronger odor, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by widespread satisfaction and repeat purchases.

Would RecommendI definitely prefer bulls eye now after years of using killz primer for decks and outdoor use. The bulls eye is a thicker paint, goes on beautifully and sticks better.

1-2-3... GO!
I've used this for years on various interior and exterior projects of my home built in 1957 which I bought in 2008. Excellent adhesion on new siding, dark old paint stucco and eaves, various colors of stained and unpainted pickets, new textured drywall, and old painted drywall. One coat seals the surface. Tools I've used are brushes, rollers, Wagner and Graco sprayers.
