Questions & Answers
Can I apply KILZ oil base primer over water base paint?
Hi Rick, thank you for your question. Yes, the oil-based Kilz Primer can be used over water-based paint in good condition. The surface should be sound, clean, dry, and scuff sanded to promote adhesion if the finish is glossy. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna
Will this completely cover/hide chalkboard paint?
Hi Ron, thanks for reaching out. Our Kilz Original Primer can be used over chalkboard paint. While it may not cover completely on it's own, it will help your topcoat cover in fewer coats. Good luck with your project! -Christina
Can I use Kilz as a heat reflecting cover on my asphalt shingles roof? It's only to reflect some of the UV rays and heat. If yes, which product do you suggest? Average summer temp is 115°-118° and stays that hot at least 5 months out of the year.
Hi there, thanks for the question. I wouldn't recommend using any of our primers om a roof to reflect heat. Also our primers aren't meant to be left uncoated and need to be top-coated with paint within 30 days. If you have additional questions about your project, please reach out to us directly. Our customer care team is happy to help. -Ronald
Which which one of these would be best to come and help cover up wallpaper
Hi Danny. Thank you for your question. It's recommended to prime the wallpaper with an oil-based primer before coating. This is to prevent the glue from reactivating. Our Kilz Original is a great choice. After priming, you can apply your paint of choice. If you have further questions or concerns, please reach out to us directly. We are always happy to help. -Alex
I just applied two coats of Zinzer bull’s-eye 123 primer to a previously stained exterior door. I now have something bleeding through the new primer. Can I apply your product over the Zenzer Bull’s-eye. If yes, how soon can I apply it?
Hi Tom, thanks for your question. Yes, our Kilz Original Interior/Exterior Primer can be applied over a water-based primer. I recommend checking the recoat time of the primer you used to determine when it's okay to apply a coat on top. Have a great day! -Christina
What is the coldest temperature rate of the primers
Hi Carl, thank you for your question. Kilz Original Interior/Exterior Primer can be used when air and surface temperatures are between 32-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Have a great day! -Giovanna
Can this primer be tinted?
Hi Terri, thanks for your question. Yes, you can tint our Kilz Original Primer with up to 2 oz. of colorant per gallon to help your topcoat cover in fewer coats. Have a great day! -Christina
Can use on flex seal liquid?
Hi Gary, thank you for your question. Our Kilz Original Primer can be used on paintable sealers. However, please note that it has not been tested specifically on flex seal liquid. I advise reaching out to the manufacturer to confirm if the products are compatible. You can also apply the primer to a small area to test the performance. Have a great day! -Lina
