Great coverage and a solid base for painting

Would Recommend

Good stuff! This primer covered really well and provided an excellent base for painting. One tip: if you're trying to match an existing paint color, look into having the primer tinted. The bright white primer can make your finished color appear lighter, especially if you're not applying multiple coats. Overall, great product and I'd definitely use it again.

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.

Adhesion

Would Recommend

Love the way the adhesion lays! I’m not sure if it’s because I used Behr paint, but it layed lovely over dark wood.
