What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this spray primer for exceptional coverage, fast drying within 30 minutes to an hour, and the large 26-ounce can size that reduces trips for large projects.

Overall, performance is inconsistent—some find it highly reliable, others encounter systemic quality control issues.

Product sprayed on like a "popcorn ceiling". Hopefully this was just a bad can; however, I'm afraid to spend additional money to try this product again.

Extra size can was enough for large coverage
Would RecommendI recently used the Zinsser Interior/Exterior Oil-Based Wall and Ceiling Primer Spray to tackle a stubborn stain, and it exceeded my expectations.The coverage is fantastic, going on smoothly and evenly with minimal effort with low odors, and adhesion to the ceiling was great.

Horrible spray nozzle
Would Not RecommendThe spray nozzle is really bad. My project looked like I applied a popcorn ceiling on. I had two cans and did shake them very well and both had the same issue. This stuff created a lot of extra work for me. Lowe’s should pull this stuff off of their shelves.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Bill. The strong output of the Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Turbo Spray Primer takes getting used to.

Excellent Product for covering old finishes.
Would RecommendI bought this primer to cover a black lacquer finish on a Bombay chest. I was so impressed with the coverage and the adhesion to the chest that I told my son about it. He is now using it on all of his projects. A light sanding when it's dry is all that is needed. It allowed the paint to go on smoothly and it turned out prefect.

Great coverage
I used this product for a base primer on a wicker chair. It worked beautifully and covered the dark brown original paint with one coat. The wider spray was very helpful for completing the job in less time.

Or so I thought.... The spray top was defective and just stayed in the on/spray position *while not fully attached*. This product got everywhere and was an uncontrollable mess! I had to leave it in a bundle of towels to fully expel the aerosol and paint. There was no way to turn it off! What a nightmare. To say I'm furio...
