Q:Is there a product out there that I can use as a clear coat for an already painted wall?

Answer This Question

A:  Hi Ere1, thank you for your question. As it turns out, we do not recommend using our Kilz Klear Primer as a finished topcoat since it's a primer and not a stand-alone product. I advise reaching out to your local hardware or home improvement store for more information about a clear coat you can use for your painted wall. -Lina

        Q:Can I use Kilz Clear to seal builder grade paint or poorly bonded paint before installing wallpaper

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi George, thank you for your question. Our Kilz Klear Multi-Surface Primer is great for sealing previously painted surfaces that are properly prepared, including removing any loose coating. However, our products are not recommended to be used under wallpaper as sizing or a base coat as this has not been tested and can cause performance issues. Have a great day! - Randy

            Q:I want to use this as a gesso type sealer for art canvas which I will paint over. The canvas itself has an image on it that I need to be perfectly/clearly visible. I will be painting over much of it. Is this perfectly clear and what sheen does it have?

            A:  Hi Joey, thanks for your question. While our Kilz Klear is clear and has a flat finish, we do not recommend using this on a canvas surface, as the flexible material may cause this primer to crack or flake off. Instead, I recommend finding an alternative primer/sealer from your local craft store. Have a great day! -Christina

                A:  Hi Deborah, thank you for your question. As it turns out, our Kilz Klear Primer is designed to help with the application of topcoat paint.

                  A:  Hi there, thank you for your question. As it turns out, our Kilz Klear Primer is not designed to help eliminate odors. I recommend using our Kilz Restoration Primer instead. It's designed to seal and block persistent odors and can be used for your interior brick-and-mortar wall. The primer will leave a white cast on the surface. Please note that primers are not stand-alone products and require a topcoat. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. -Lina

                    A:  Hi Edward, thank you for your question. Our Kilz Klear Primer can be applied over dried wallpaper adhesive. For the best results, we recommend removing as much of the adhesive as possible. After priming, you can apply a skim coat over that. Have a great day! -Lina
