A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is,Hello, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not have any products to recommend for a garage floor. Kilz Restoration Primer can only be used on subfloors. I suggest checking with your local store for a recommendation on a suitable product that you can use for your garage floor. Have a great day! -Giovanna

    A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is Kilz Restoration Primer can be tinted with up to 2 oz. of colorant to help achieve the color of your topcoat in fewer coats. After priming, you can topcoat with your paint after 1 hour or more.

      Q:I am covering over 10 years of heavy cigarette smoke. I have applied 2-3 coats of killz2 with a sprayer. The stains are still coming through. Will this be a better option, or do I need to use oil based killz?

      Ok not great
      Not overly impressed, water based so the smoke stains still soaked through. The kilz original spray can worked like a charm, im guessing its not water based. tter,

        Not for the toughest stains / smoke damage
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty disappointed with this product. I'm currently flipping the upstairs unit in my multifamily home that has 20 years of cigarette smoke in it. I have been using Sherwin Williams White Pigmented Shellac primer and it has worked wonders. However, I ran out on this holiday weekend, so I had to grab a can of this at Home Depot. As you can see from the picture, this stuff doesn't come close to the performace of shellac primer. The picture shows one coat of shellac beside one coat of Kilz Restoration. It speaks for itself. Save yourself the hassle and go to Sherwin Williams.

        Response from Ronald, Kilz Customer CareMay 27, 2024
        Hi there, thank you for reviewing our primer. I’m sorry to hear that the primer didn't cover as expected. Our Restoration Primer is designed to seal in tough stains, it may not completely cover them. Since paint has more solids than stains, it should cover the existing color/stains once the surface has been primed. The primer should stop the stains from bleeding through to your topcoat. I’ve also reached out to you via email to learn more about your project and assist you with this further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Ronald
          Great coverage!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works WONDERS for smoke damaged properties. Will continue to use this product on my home repairs!

              Christmas fire
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wall socket caught fire and was able to get it under control but it left a terrible soot stain on the new drywall that was installed months earlier. Used Kilz to cover the stain taking only 3 coats to bring it back to normal. Thank you Kilz for saving my Christmas.

                Thank goodness for Kilz Restoration
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I bought an older home with extensive nicotine damage throughout the home. Everything covered in nicotine and the smell was unbelievable. We had to clean and prime every square inch of the house after which there's no odors or problems Thank you for a product that actually does as advertised...

                    Amazing quality, worth every penny
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I simply will not start any project before I apply this primer. I redo furniture for a living and I am constantly buying this primer. Works great, dries fast, and never has let me down in the last few years since I’ve discovered it. If I could give this product 6 stars instead of 5, I would!

                      Best primer I’ve used
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blocks odors like no one’s business, and does a great job preventing bleed-thru. I will only use this primer for my furniture refinishing projects.
