This stuff is great. I refurbished some used cabinets I purchased at a second hand store. They had the original stain. I just put the bonding primer right over it, and didn't even need to sand. I give it 5 stars because all I did was use the bonding primer, let it dry, then paint. Tooooo easy.

I used this bonding primer on the advice of the store associate who actually spoke with a Behr representative and based on his review of the product I made the purchase. The primer was used to cover 1960’s plastic tile! The tile was in good shape just ugly with some of the yellowed mastic showing through on the seams it was also very sun faded. I then painted with Behr Marquee in satin enamel and it turned out fabulous couldn’t be happier with the results!

Worth every penny
Using this primer on stained wood trim and it sticks like glue and covers like it’s two coats of a competitor’s primer

Poor Bonding
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product twice. About 5 years ago, there was some peeling and Behr replaced the paint. About a year ago, the patios and walkways were prepped and painted a second time. There are serious cracks, peels, and flaking. Repairs do not hold up. Some areas have been patched six times.

Response from Ronald, Behr Customer CareMay 4, 2022
Hi there, thank you for reviewing our primer. I'm sorry to hear that our Bonding Primer 432 didn't hold up as expected. As it turns out the Bonding Primer isn't recommended for surfaces that are going to be walked on. For priming concrete patios and walkways I'd recommend using our Concrete & Masonry Bonding Primer 880. 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 product I used it on my kitchen tiles who a had a ugly color, I did not want to use epoxy who has limited colors and is shiny. I wanted my tiles to be matte and a light gray. I sanded the tiles a bit with a sander and used diamond sand paper, the usual sandpaper does not work on tiles.
I applied 2 coats of primer before painting the color. the first 3 days I could still scratch it but after a week or 2 it became hard as nails. I am very happy with the results .
