    Answer This Question

    Hi Robert, thanks for your question. While it's not required, you can sand our Kilz 2 before topcoating if you want a smoother finish. I recommend letting the primer dry for at least 24 hours before trying to sand it. Good luck with your project! -Christina

        Can it be used as primer between oil based paint to water based paint?

        Answer This Question

        Hi Riven, thanks for your question. Primers are actually the exception to the oil/water-based rule. With that in mind, our Kilz 2 All-Purpose Primer can be applied over oil-based paint and topcoated with the paint of your choice, whether water or oil-based. I hope this helps! -Lina

            Is this considered either a sealing or bonding primer?
            ByJun 16, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi Mike, thanks for the question, Our Kilz 2 Primer is an all-pupose primer mainly designed to seal the surface, and block light to medium stains. If you need a bonding primer that will adhere to smooth or glossy surfaces, I'd suggest checking out our Adhesion Primer. Have a great day! -Ronald

                  I used this primer on bare wood after I stripped it with a pressure washer. I really tore into the wood. The Kilz primer worked GREAT! It is super !! I cannot say enough. It is hard to get off your hands but boy does it stick to the wood. Hot water and soap works. I waited to review this product as I wanted to see the long term effect. After 3 years it is still stuck to the wood. I used it under Olympic exterior paint. Note that the trim was not rough sawn so no extra help there just regular dimensional boards. I will use it again.

                  Response from KILZProblemSolverJun 2, 2025
                  Hi Jojo, thank you for the review. I'm sorry to hear that our Kilz 2 Primer didn't cover over the stains as expected. The Kilz 2 Primer is designed to seal in stains, it may not completely cover them. Since paint has more solids than stains, it should cover the existing color/stains once the surface has been primed. The primer should stop the stains from bleeding through to your topcoat. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Ronald Kilz
                    Great look on ceiling
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Kilz primer sealer on ceilings for the best coverage and finish you can ask for.

                      Amazing Product
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kilz Primer covers very well and lasts a long time. It doesn't even require multiple coats on old wood. I highly recommend this product. Only managed to used the primer and didn't get to top coat and it is still covering amazingly after a year.

                        Used for stained glass mosaics to give a white background over thinset or pavers for class project. Easy to use and dries quickly. This is exterior rated craft paint over Kilz, then crash glass, stained glass, then colored grout.
