What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional stain coverage, quick drying, and reliable performance on small projects. Reviewers consistently highlight its ability to block water marks, smoke damage, pen marks, and dark wood tones in one or two coats. The spray format dries within 30 minutes, applies smoothly without brush marks, and works well on irregular surfaces like wicker and metal. Many use it repeatedly for touch-ups, ceiling repairs, and trim work. A few report nozzle clogging or inconsistent spray, though most consider these isolated issues. Overall, customers strongly recommend it for precision work and stain-blocking performance.

Great small project primer

Would Recommend

Worked great both in coverage and spray function (ie., felt like hardly any paint was left in the can!)

Best combination of coverage w/fast dry time

The 123 is a fantastic product. What wasn't fantastic was that I would have purchased a six pack to save a little money but Lowe's represented that six packs were not available so I was forced to purchase six individual cans, separately, for a higher price. When I picked up my order, the six cans that I bought came in a (drumroll.......) a six-pack box! Kinda 🐔💩, I think...but not egregious.

Paint has good coverage. Slotted nozzle looked promising for covering large area. Unfortunately had more paint running down the side of the can than applied to area painting. Wrapped layers of paper towels around can to protect hands. Towels were soaked. Hands and nails a pretty white. Wear gloves if you decide to use and buy larger can than you need. More on ground and my hands than item painting. Yes I did shake can well before spraying and yes I held can upright at all times.

This stuff works great sir small areas.

Would Recommend

I had a water leak that ruined some drywall inside of a small closet. I cut out the bottom 2 feet of drywall and replaced it. I used this to prime the new drywall before texture and paint. It worked great, and I didn’t have to buy a can of paint and a brush/roller. Using this was faster too. I hadn’t painted, or put the trim back, when the pic was taken.
