Ratings & Reviews for Zinsser Bulls Eye 2 Interior/Exterior Multi-purpose Water-based Wall and Ceiling Primer ( 1-gallon )
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
This primer provides good coverage, adhesion, and sealing properties, especially on drywall, ceilings, and walls. It works well as a base coat before applying top paint and is easy to apply. However, some users found it required multiple coats for full coverage, with inconsistent thickness, and it did not effectively block stains or prevent peeling on more challenging surfaces. The primer may be a good value option for basic priming needs, but may not be suitable for more demanding applications.

Thin & Grey
Would Not RecommendThis primer is much thinner than the usual Bullseye 123 we use and it has more of a grey tint than the typical white primer. Would not recommend and next time will be spending the extra money to buy our typically 123 primer.

Great primer - lousy hiding of stains
