Ratings & Reviews for Zinsser Bulls Eye 2 Interior Multi-purpose Water-based Wall and Ceiling Primer ( 5-gallon )

Bulls Eye

Excellent product. I was able to cover the area on the ceiling with one coat. I was pleasantly surprised how well it went on and with not one drip or any lines showing. Definitely would recommend and use this product again.

Priming cabinets

Using this stuff to prime cabinets I built. Really does the job well of filling in grain, and priming for a nice, smooth finish.

Don't waste your money

I bought this to prime over a repaired wall. This product does not cover well, in fact it's terrible. After 3 coats I could still see lines and the patched area. I used Behr paint and you could see the patched area. I used Kilz on another area and you can't see that patched area. This primer is watered down, expensive, doesn't cover well, and doesn't go as far as the Kilz did on a patched sheetrock wall. save yourself the disappointment and use something else.

Great stuff.

This really works as described. I use it on all kinds of projects and it provides a great basecoat and sealer. I recently had used it to paint over pine that had been previously painted white but started to badly yellow. Someone said it could be because sap was seeping through. This sealed up the wood for a nice topcoat finish and it looks great.

Superior Product

Covers and adheres well.Easy to apply .Nice uniform look. High quality product.Superior primer over other brand primers.

Great pre treatment and coverage

Good one coat coverage and saves a lot of final coat paint usage.

Bulls eye primer

Had a new island cabinet built and needed to paint it. Wanted to ensure a smmoth finish w/o the paint just soaking in. Purchsed Bulls Eye primer, worked flawlessly. Painted over very nicely. Little to no odor, good coverage and easy clean up.

Primer over dark paint

I have never used primer before painting but I had a very dark wall to cover with a very light color so I used primer first. I can’t really compare this product to other primer since I’ve never used any before but it didn’t seem to cover fully in one coat. I had to use two coats of primer before using the preferred wall paint. I gave it a three rating due mostly to the price point.

covers well

I used this as a base before I applied a textured ceiling. It worked well and provided good adhesion.
