This primer has a high number of solids for excellent coverage. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions you may have. Best of luck with your project! ~Doris
Will it work on vinyl screen and window frames?
Asked by Ana April 28, 2021Surface must be clean and preferably deglossed but from my experience KILZ adhesion works on all kinds of vinyl and plastics.
can i use this to cover oil based paint on the ceiling?
Asked by crystal April 3, 2021Not sure. I'd call and ask Behr, sister company, at 800-854-0133 x2. I just used it on power coated metal as this is the only thing that will bond paint to that type of surface. This is something you put down in order to get paint to stay on, a primer. This is special order only item that is shipped via Fed Ex and comes to the store. You can order it on the mobile app, online, or through customer service at the store.

Can I use this primer over marble on the top of a bathroom vanity and then paint over it with chalk paint?
Asked by Sheresha March 21, 2021Hi Sheresha. Thanks for writing in with your question. As it turns out, we do not recommend our coatings on marble or on countertops. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. I suggest working with your local store for suggestions on a primer that can be applied to the marble on your vanity. Have a nice day! -Joni
I have what looks like a smooth cement wall .... can I apply this over it and then afterwards wil...
Asked by Jaahill February 6, 2021No, I just used this on power coated metal. It is special order only and not in the store. You'd use Drylok or Drylok Extreme. I just had to waterproof masonry cinderblock at the bottom 2 courses due to my neighbor's overwatering to protect and preserve the wall. So you need Drylok that Home Depot carries. I used the extreme version that they also carry. This stuff is pretty potent so if you have this on hand, I guess you could, but it is more about getting the paint to stick to difficult surfaces rather than waterproofing which is probably what you need with Drylok.
Will it stick to frp
Asked by Wiley January 31, 2021Hi Wiley. Thanks for writing in with your question. Yes, our Kilz Adhesion Primer is great for promoting adhesion to rigid plastic like FRP. Please note, however, it is not recommended for surfaces subject to foot traffic. Have a nice day! -Joni
Paint oak bathroom vanity. Sides are veneer. Will clean with TSP. Can use product without sanding and paint with enamel?
Asked by Michelle January 18, 2021You should be OK if you get all the TSP residue off. You should give yourself a little more insurance by roughing it up a little with 120 sandpaper. You can do that by hand and it won’t take long. Vacuum up the small amount of dust, then wipe the floor with a damp rag. Don’t be lazy - just do it. “ You only have one chance to do it right the first time.”
I need to paint over school picnic tables. They are covered in a molded kind of plastic. Will t...
Asked by Gwen December 16, 2020It should work, but I would recommend roughing the surface (sanding) and then wipe clean before applying the KILZ Adhesion Primer.
