What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage and stain-blocking ability, with most noting one coat effectively hides previous colors and seals raw wood. The smooth consistency applies easily, dries quickly, and requires only water cleanup. Many highlight strong adhesion to challenging surfaces like glossy paint, plaster, and drywall without sanding. Users consistently report professional results on cabinets, floors, and ceilings. A small number report insufficient coverage on new drywall or severe stains requiring multiple coats. Overall, reviewers strongly recommend it as a reliable, versatile primer.

Covers everything!
Would RecommendI wish I would have bought this in the beginning!!!! I had to paint the whole inside of my new house (roughly 1500 sq foot house). Years of fireplace smoke had stained the walls and it was taking me 4 coats of paint before. I went thru soooo much paint before using primer! One coat of primer, 2 coats of the color of choice and DONE!

Great coverage primer
Would RecommendWe used this product for some closets that had a mix of older painted shelves (in bad shape) and unpainted wood shelves. This was great for both. One coat was all it took - excellent value.
