Questions & Answers
can i paint over gloss paint
Hi JERRY, thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can apply our Kilz 2 over semi-gloss paint. I recommend scuff-sanding the surface to promote adhesion before priming. Have a great day! -Christina
Can you add any color of this brand?
Hi Kilz, thank you for your question. Our Kilz 2 All-Purpose Primer can be tinted in-store with up to 2oz. of colorant per gallon. Please note that even if tinted, this primer still requires a topcoat. Have a great day! -Angie
Is it good for deck boards
Hi Jayt, thank you for question. Actually, our Kilz 2 Primer isn't recommended for areas that are walked on such as a deck. Instead, I'd suggest using our Kilz 3 Premium Primer. If you have additional questions about your project, please reach out to us directly. Our customer care team is happy to help. -Ronald
Will this apply on stained wood
Hi Brian, thank you for your question. Yes, the Kilz 2 Primer can be used on stained wood. The surface should be sound, clean, dry and scuff sanded to promote adhesion if the finish is glossy. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna
Will this cover nicotine stains and stop them from bleeding thru?
Hi Cattaker, thank you for your question. No, Kilz 2 Primer is not designed to cover nicotine stains. This primer should be used for light stains. For tough stains and odors, like nicotine, you'll want to use a stronger primer such as our oil-based Kilz Original Primer or water-based Kilz Restoration Primer. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna
can it be used in a cordless sprayer
Hi Kevin, thanks for your question. Our products can be sprayed with an airless sprayer. Feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. -Adelina
can this be watered down for a mist over plaster
Hi Wayne, thanks for your question. While our products don't usually require thinning for typical applications, you can add up to 8 Oz of water per gallon to the Kilz 2 All-Purpose Primer. Have a great day! -Adelina
Can this product over winter with a top coat in the spring
