[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent coverage of a botched staining experiment.  Very good value

    This is the best primer to use to cover stains. Recently had a basement fixed for leaks and wanted to cover up the water stains. Two coats later and most of the stains are gone. What a difference!

    Wish I would have looked at the reviews better
    Most of the reviews for this are “paid” so of course they would recommend it. I didn’t notice that until AFTER I bought this primer unfortunately. I put 3 coats on my wall, and it’s not covering at all. I’m still going to have to do 2-3 paints of my paint so I’m not sure what the point of this primer was? Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this, unless you want to do 5-6 coats while painting, but I’m not sure who would want to do that.

    Response from BehrMar 12, 2024
    Hi NCpaint, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the primer did not cover as expected. I can understand your disappointment. Typically, the primer only requires one coat, and it is not designed to cover completely, but it is sealing the surface. Once your topcoat is applied, it will help achieve an even finish is fewer coats. We appreciate your feedback, and if you need further assistance, please reach out to us directly. Our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Giovanna Behr

      This primer did the impossible!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a house with the worst interior paint job ever! Most of the walls were dark purple, and all kinds of crazy graffiti "art". We thought it would take 10 coats to fix, but it only took one good coat and one light coat of Kilz primer to do the job! Very, very impressed with this product!!!

            Kilz Covers anything!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Kilz many times! My painter taught me to tint Kilz with my Sherwin Williams Botticelli red, as my first coat, to make rich colors look better. The last two projects; one was old paneling, i had Kilz primer tinted your Ranch House Tan, LOVE how it turned out, next project old floral wallpaper!😂 Kilz to the rescue again, covered up the busy dark wallpaper print perfectly!

              Saved our ceilings
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we move into our old farm house. The house sat empty for several years. They didn't shut the water off. Pipes froze and we had a mess to clean up. We painted Kilz on everything, Ceilings and walls. We even painted over really old wallpaper. The Kilz was a great base before we added color!

                The best primer Kilz 2.
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used kilz 2 primer last year in my garage building project and wow. Used just one coat and kilz sealed up the plywood perfectly. I’ll use this on very paint job here out.

                  These walls were NASTY. Now they're white.
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a hoarder house with heavy nicotine stains. I scrubbed the walls but everything still looked gross. 2 coats of Kilz and the paint went on perfectly.

                    Great stain blocker
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some water stains on my ceilings after Ian came through. I covered the stains with one coat of KILZ 2. It blended perfectly with the rest of the ceilings. Problem solved!

                      Paneling & smoker coverage
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a 600sq. ft. home built in 1899. The previous owners covered the plaster/lath walls with dark paneling. Also, in evidence of the ‘was’ white ceilings, they were heavy smokers. I purchased 3 gallon cans of your KILZ to cover not only the dark paneling, but also the orangish brown ceilings. It was great coverage, and then I painted the kitchen, dining room & livingroom white, over the KILZ. The bedroom were painted a light color.

                        Great for priming old dark paneling!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago after my husband and I bought a house. There was a converted garage room that was covered by dark wood paneling on three of the walls. We wanted it to be bright white. Used this to prime before painting. What a fabulous transformation! Great product!

                          Covers up printed walls!
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a double wide mobile home and the walls had prints on them. This is not wallpaper but is actually printed panels. I decided to get the Kilz, and had it lightly tinted. It covered nicely and I didn't have to use more paint than necessary. Also covered up anything else that might have been on the walls. Would highly recommend this product to everyone!

                            Amazing coverage
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We painted our upstairs office/gym area with this prior to our interior color selection. The home was built in the 1800s and there was wood planking on the wall and we were afraid the orange tint would show through but kilz did a very good job of covering and sealing the aged wood.

                              Great for covering smells
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought it to cover the wood floors before we reflected them with lvp. The house smelt horrible. Animal waste, smoking and whatever else they did here was horrible.

I love the coverage on wood as well as foamboard. I use it not only to paint over my previous years work with great civerage but I mix it with acrylic paints for details etc and it works awesome. I would definitely recommend Kilz 2!

A good primer is the best thing you can get for your walls and celings. It's just a primer so you will never see it bit if you don't use it you'll regret it for sure. Trust in good quality products like these, you will be happy you did.
