Zinsser Stain Killer Primer

Would Recommend

I can tell you that Zinsser Stain Killer Primer did just that !!! It worked Awesome!! We first went to Sherrie Williams, and bought the Pro-Block Primer. After priming the entire kitchen it needed a second coat because the cigarette stains on every surface were so bad that you could see yellow was bleeding through even after scrubbing all of the walls before priming.

Best Oil based wood primer

Tinted gray
