Great coverage
This is amazing stuff. The only thing is that you need to know that you can’t go back over it once you paint it. You have to let it dry first and then repaint. Really great coverage though.

Perfect paint for my project
Would RecommendI bought this a couple weeks ago and used it for painting a cabinet I created for my gaming system. The coverage was amazing! It dried quickly and adhered to the wood quite nicely! Would recommend!!! Didn't smell too bad as it was drying, but would recommend wearing a mask anyway.

Not able to be tinted.
Would Not RecommendBought 5 gallons to go over yellow, green, and light purple. Can says it hides dark colors and stains. 2 coats of this and it’s still see through! Took some back to get tinted. 3 people and 45 minutes later they realize it is Not able to be Tinted!!! Tried to fool the paint computer but no go. I had to spend more money to get some we could Tinted!!!Lowes or Zinsser should look at this and get rid of the False description!!!
