Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Most customers praise this product for bonding flaking paint and creating a stable base for topcoats, especially on deteriorated ceilings, trim, and old surfaces. However, many report it applies much thinner than the "triple thick" marketing suggests, requiring three to four coats for minimal coverage and comparing it to skim milk. Some experience chipping or poor adhesion despite careful application, while others note high cost relative to performance. A few find success with proper surface preparation and multiple coats. Overall, reviewers are divided between those who credit it for enabling successful repaints and those disappointed by thin consistency and coverage shortfalls.

Garbage don't buy!!!!!
Would Not RecommendThis stuff is trash. it doesn't do what it says it will. It goes on like whitewash, and is thin, even though we stirred it quite thoroughly. It leaves bubbles on the surface. We spent 2 days sanding our garage door, and in one application, this garbage ruined our project. We couldn't sand the bubbles out either because it all started peeling off. Oh, and you can forget returning it. Lowes' satisfaction guaranteed paint return policy is a joke, and they found some fine print to not allow us to r...

Seals the edges of peeling paint
Would Not RecommendSeems like a good solution to the peeling paint problem. Time will tell how it will stand up after applying the final coat of paint
Not really as good as advertised.
This coating was no better than any other primer I have used. It does not cure to a white color. Lots of puffery in the claims made for this product.

Not Thick
Would Not RecommendI've been painting since my contrator Dad put a paint brush into my 10 year old hand, that was 51 years ago. I've brushed, rolled and sprayed alot of paint. For a personal project I needed a thick primer to fill the bare areas left after removing old wall paper. This product advertised 3X or triple thick. Not even close, pours slow, but brushes and rolls on like water. After multiple coats the coverage is poor at best.

Don't use on interior walls
Would Not RecommendPrevious painted walls had some cracking in the paint. Prepped, sanded, and wiped down with damp cloth. It does not overlap good, all the work I did sanding down the previous paint that had roller lines and imperfections. After this product it looks worse with roller lines and extremely visible overlap lines (used Wooster roller). The areas that were cracking bubbled and got worse. Sadly I always would recommend Zinsser products, but not this on drywall. Might work good on wood that's not a larg...

Primer
Would RecommendI had sheetrock that was covered with permanent wallpaper mode on it and paint wouldn't stick to it or regular primer, but this Primer triple thick, worked great.

Big disappointment.Very thin almost watery. No amount of mixing had any affect.The only way this product could have triple thickness would be if three were already on before you paint.

Bubbled within 9 months
Would Not RecommendAbsolutely useless garbage product. It was so thick that application was slow and frustrating and the reward for my efforts was it failed within 9 months in an exterior but shielded from significant sun or rain application. Don't waste your time or money on this product.

Great peel primer.
