Best exterior primer I've used.
I've used this # 436 Primer for years on various applications, and am amazed at how well it adheres. I once applied it to (plastic) house wrap that I had used temporarily on a leaky roof. The primer was still adhering when I removed the wrap 2 years later. For another application where the final colour was to be a middle grey, I got Home Depot to tint the batch a light grey (as dark as they would tint it). The can label used to say "Exterior"; this latest one now says "Interior/Exterior". Only complaint: The label's safety and usage directions are in a small font that's hard to read. Improvement sorely needed.

For the most part cover over my God awful stripes. But used a lot more primer than anticipated to cover them. Some places you can still see shadow of them 17 foot area took 2/3 of a gallon. Said usage should be 250 - 400 sq ft.

I painted 186 feet of 6 foot high block wall surrounding my property using a brush and roller to get a heavy coat that would last. This paint covered real well on this course block only taking about 13 gallons in total.

This white primer with its stain blocking and sealing power did the trick. After multiple children and more years of food stains, which “somehow” got on the walls, we needed something more than ordinary paint for the walls. The primer went on and stayed on the walls allowing me to paint a new fresh color in the kitchen. We no longer see the stains, only the texture which came through nicely

Used this over a basement foundation block wall with a fiber reinforced coating (Silpro's FSB is the absolute best version of this product, BTW, while twice the cost of Sakrete or Quickwall it is easier to apply and much harder when cured). The wall had been patched so it was rough in many places.BUT IT WAS GREY and is about to become my pottery studio. A single coat of this primer already transformed the space amazingly despite the unevenness of the coating.
It has minimal odor, and with a 3/4 nap roller went on well. Dries fast too. The roughness of my walls required a lot of back-rolling, and I was tempted to put on a second coat and call it done. Reading the questions about leaving the primer without a topcoat deterred me - it was suggested that it will hold dirt & dust, and be harder to clean than a paint with some sheen. Behr does not recommend leaving it without a finish coat either.
I had no problems with cleanup - warm water and dish soap with a painters cleanup comb/brush worked just fine. In fact if you invest in some orange turpenes (food grade) it cleans all paints off skin without problems and no chemical exposure.
