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       

Other Surfaces

KILZ has multi-use, multi-surface primers and specialty primers that solve specific problems including hard to paint surfaces         
New Look, Same Trusted Formula, KILZ 2 ALL PURPOSE 5 Gal.

          Watered down junk horrible coverage
          Literally over 4 gallons of paint to cover one ceiling and it still isn’t even white. Completely horrible coverage I could cover about literally one square foot with every roller dip and needed almost 4 coats to get one ceiling already flat paint white. Completely wasted money. Did next room with one coat of $24 ceiling white from Sherwin with slight backroll and had some left of the single gallon. Ceiling white is 4 times better than a primer??? Complete trash!!!

          Response from KILZProblemSolverMay 24, 2023
          Hi BeyondBeautifulPainting, thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear you didn't get the coverage you expected with our Kilz 2 All-Purpose Primer. Primers aren't designed to provide the same coverage as paint since they require a topcoat. I recommend testing your topcoat over a small area of your ceiling to see how it covers. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, so feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. They are always happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina Kilz

            must have for painting BEST OF SHOW parade floats
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always good to have the KILZ 2 ALL-PURPOSE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR PRIMER on hand. In dealing with different materials with different rates of absorption- like my father in law always said, “the primer adheres to the surface, the paint adheres to the primer” and he is 100% correct. Used KILZ as the primer for our NBYG youth group’s BEST OF SHOW- MAYOR’S CUP award winning Christmas Parade float to transform a custom-built wood/metal sleigh into a ‘JURASSIC PARK’ themed vehicle to get the most loveable dinosaur, Barney, to bring JOY to the kids young and old lining the route for the Murfreesboro, TN Christmas Parade.

              Old man winter loses to Kilz!!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had ice dams bringing water back up into attic....which then leached to ceilings of our 75 year old home. A contractor fixed the outside...but a coat of Kilz brought back the beauty inside. No more water stains leaching through. Thank you!

                EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it by the 5gal buckets! Currently doing a full hone reno. It was awful inside! Urine, feces, food, vomit, pet odors, tobacco odors and stains on ALL CEILING AND WALLS! Definitely the epitome of a bad previous owner/tenant! After tearing out 2 layers of padding and carpets, the stains and stench was EVERYWHERE! Spots still wet still. Air drying and then wipe down of walls with TSP, then 2 or 3 coats of KILZ 2, LATEX. on the ceilings and walls and on floors. The stench and stains are gone!!! I'm a professional, I'm a general contractor. Been in trades long time, worked with many guys. Some love KILZ, others love competition brand. But after having used KILZ myself, on every one of my jobs ( that's many, I've lost count)! I'm a LOYAL KILZ user, and will continue to be! Please do not change the formula used in your products, as it is INCREDIBLY GREAT!! THANKS AGAIN, from a professional contractor. John M

                    Worked Like A Charm!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My fiancé and I just bought our first house and wanted to freshen up the appearance. One of the rooms did not have much overhead lighting and a dark red accent wall. The KILZ primer completely covered the coloring and allowed us to lighten up the room. I will be using this on another upcoming project!

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My entire new purchased home had wood paneling literally everywhere! I researched reading researched again. Choosing Kilz was the best decision by far! I bought 5 gal buckets! Did NOT want to run out! I've currently painted my ENTIRE house using Kilz Primer. Its coverage is remarkable! Great product! Thanks, Kilz!
