Product Overview
A little primer investment goes a long way
Priming helps ensure a better quality finish that will last by addressing surface problems prior to painting
KILZ is a trusted brand by pros and DIY’ers for over 45 years
KILZ has water-based and oil-based primers to help in different ways
KILZ primers can handle your projects
From KILZ 2 ALL-PURPOSE to legacy oil-based KILZ ORIGINAL primers to our specialty products, there is a Kilz primer for you.
Seals porous surfaces
Sealing the surface helps achieve a uniform professional quality finish using less coats of paint
Hides scuffs, stains and previous colors
Our high hiding primers hide previous colors well; making them ideal for color change projects
Powerful stain blocking
Our stain blocking primers are proven performers when it comes to blocking stains to prevent leaching through the topcoat
Excellent adhesion
Excellent adhesion to the surface and also to the topcoat paint helps ensure a longer lasting quality finish
Drywall
Most pros apply primer to drywall to seal the surface and ensure a uniform finish
Wood
Primer fills the grain in the wood helping to smooth out the finish
Brick
Painting over brick is a popular alternative to replacing it. Priming first before painting helps make it look its best
Masonry
Priming with alkali-resistant primer helps solve adhesion problems caused by high pH levels in some masonry
Plaster/Stucco
Lime from plaster can cause stains to bleed through the topcoat. Stucco may absorb moisture from the topcoat discoloring it.

Great primer
Great primer that helps make painting easier

Works but I've used better
Kilz 2 All-Pupose Primer works, but I've used another product that is better. The issue I experienced is covering a 12 inch x 8 feet seem that was re-mudded. It took 3 coats of Kilz 2 to cover it. The product I like much better is Kilz Restoration.

Better than...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this just because I've used it in the past and I know it will work! It looks better than the satin paint I used over it.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently sprayed the inside of my 75 year old barn with a pressure pot and kilz 2. It brought a whole new life of usefulness to a very ignored structure!

KILZ in a previous badly painted kitchen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kitchen was painted with a spray gun previously. It was painted very thin and just dirty looking you could tell they didn't use a primer. The cupboards were a slick surface and peeling. I used KILZ they way it says to and I can't believe the difference. The paint looks almost creamy. I am more than satisfied.

Awesome cover up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a primer that would cover up horrible soot from an old fireplace that backer up into my home. I was getting ready to re finance my home and had to have it looking like new to appraise high. My entire family came in to help me out to all of our amazement the Kilz covered everything with one coat! It was a miracle!
