          Will this bond over oil base so we can use latex paint?
          ByJun 27, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Yes, it will, but I would scuff the surface first if it is shiny to create a profile for the primer to stick better to. For info on your specific job, please call 1-800-441-9695 to talk to a specialist.

                      This is the first time I have ever given 5 stars to a product. Tried 3 other brands and this is only one that worked on old shingles. Must scrape first before app. I am retired quality engineer.

                          Horrific experience!
                          We used this as our primer after being told by the “painting expert” at the store that “ALL the professional painters” used this to prime their cabinets. It’s horrific!!!! It’s comes off like you a scratching a lottery card with your finger nail! How in the world can they sell this stuff and say it’s good and easy to sand??? We are now having to use a 60 grit sander to try and get some of the crap off in order to use a better primer the next go around. This has been a nightmare! Don’t use!

                            DO NOT BUY!
                            Omg, made a HUGE mistake buying this. Terrible product that does the opposite of “SEAL” or “GRIP”. It’s literally peeling off with the roller. I followed the instructions to a T and still this happened. Working on a bedroom set project. I’m afraid these holes are everywhere. PPG COMPLETELY RUINED MY PROJECT. Should have gone with Beyond Paint. I see reviews with similar concerns and disappointments; I should’ve taken heed. DO NOT BUY

                              Peels off
                              Not impressed! Did not adhere to the trim. Wanted to peel it off and the paint when removing the tape. Definitely won’t use again. Waste of money and time. Now I have to worry about it peeling off more or I have to strip ALL of the trim back down and repaint it. Probably be easier just to replace the trim with new fresh trim boards.

                                They should not call this "Gripper". It has created a mess for me and my kitchen cabinets and I am unsure how to resolve the problems this primer has caused. I should not have trusted the name

                                  I was a little hesitant to use this on non-sanded surfaces before painting but it worked really well! I used it for my staircase banners without sanding and the semi-gloss top coat adhered nicely.
