It truly is all purpose…use on all projects.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I make and sell Barn Quilts. It is imperative that when I say that my creations are all-weather proof, it needs to be so! I can count on Kills to prime the wood and protect the wood so I can paint it and it can hang outside through all weather.

    Didn’t work
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have painted and repainted some shelves a half dozen times. Each time, the knots in the wood slowly start showing. We have about a dozen knots in the shelves that the Kilz All purpose can’t conceal. But this is what was recommended by the paint specialist at the store.

    Response from Christina, Kilz Customer CareJun 15, 2023
    Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to review our Kilz 2 All-Purpose. I'm sorry to hear you aren't getting the stain-blocking you expected for the wood knots on your shelves. While our Kilz 2 provides stain-blocking to light/medium stains, our Kilz 3 Premium will block more severe stains, like wood knots. I recommend applying a coat of Kilz 3 to your shelves before applying your topcoat of paint for full coverage. I've also reached out to you via email to get more info about your project and further assist. Thanks again for providing your feedback, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Christina
      Good Exterior Primer
      Foundation needed some TLC. Prepped the surface with a power wash, crack filling, scraping and brushing. Primer spread well via brush and roller. Only needed 1 well applied coat over the old paint and exposed concrete. Primer did great overnight. Next day finish paint/sealant went on top very easy. Will be using this primer in the future.

        I mudded my walls and was worried if it would cover as well as having a dark previous color wall but it did a great job. Two hands and looks great dried quickly too low oder no complaints, picked up from store paid for it and off to prime my walls that simple

          Great coverage
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the Kilz 2 All Purpose Interior Primer to cover a blue room so we could paint it white. The primer coverage helped so much to reduce the amount of white paint needed for the room. (Sorry, no before photo).

            Watered down junk horrible coverage
            Literally over 4 gallons of paint to cover one ceiling and it still isn’t even white. Completely horrible coverage I could cover about literally one square foot with every roller dip and needed almost 4 coats to get one ceiling already flat paint white. Completely wasted money. Did next room with one coat of $24 ceiling white from Sherwin with slight backroll and had some left of the single gallon. Ceiling white is 4 times better than a primer??? Complete trash!!!

            Hi BeyondBeautifulPainting, thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear you didn't get the coverage you expected with our Kilz 2 All-Purpose Primer. Primers aren't designed to provide the same coverage as paint since they require a topcoat. I recommend testing your topcoat over a small area of your ceiling to see how it covers. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, so feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. They are always happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina Kilz

              Oak Hutch Update
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I got tired of the old Oak Hutch and decided to update it by painting most of the Oak . We put a coat of Kilz 20 All-Purpose Interior / Exterior on the hutch after lightly sanding the sheen . This made applying the paint very easy . We were very pleased with the final product . I would recommend Kilz Products for any job you tackle . I’m sure you will love the finished product .

                  must have for painting BEST OF SHOW parade floats
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always good to have the KILZ 2 ALL-PURPOSE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR PRIMER on hand. In dealing with different materials with different rates of absorption- like my father in law always said, “the primer adheres to the surface, the paint adheres to the primer” and he is 100% correct. Used KILZ as the primer for our NBYG youth group’s BEST OF SHOW- MAYOR’S CUP award winning Christmas Parade float to transform a custom-built wood/metal sleigh into a ‘JURASSIC PARK’ themed vehicle to get the most loveable dinosaur, Barney, to bring JOY to the kids young and old lining the route for the Murfreesboro, TN Christmas Parade.

                    Old man winter loses to Kilz!!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had ice dams bringing water back up into attic....which then leached to ceilings of our 75 year old home. A contractor fixed the outside...but a coat of Kilz brought back the beauty inside. No more water stains leaching through. Thank you!

                      EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it by the 5gal buckets! Currently doing a full hone reno. It was awful inside! Urine, feces, food, vomit, pet odors, tobacco odors and stains on ALL CEILING AND WALLS! Definitely the epitome of a bad previous owner/tenant! After tearing out 2 layers of padding and carpets, the stains and stench was EVERYWHERE! Spots still wet still. Air drying and then wipe down of walls with TSP, then 2 or 3 coats of KILZ 2, LATEX. on the ceilings and walls and on floors. The stench and stains are gone!!! I'm a professional, I'm a general contractor. Been in trades long time, worked with many guys. Some love KILZ, others love competition brand. But after having used KILZ myself, on every one of my jobs ( that's many, I've lost count)! I'm a LOYAL KILZ user, and will continue to be! Please do not change the formula used in your products, as it is INCREDIBLY GREAT!! THANKS AGAIN, from a professional contractor. John M

                          Worked Like A Charm!
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My fiancé and I just bought our first house and wanted to freshen up the appearance. One of the rooms did not have much overhead lighting and a dark red accent wall. The KILZ primer completely covered the coloring and allowed us to lighten up the room. I will be using this on another upcoming project!

It turned out nice using a paint sprayer. A nice even layer with a smooth surface and took care of all problems. I will definitely use this product in the future. I recommend using it to everyone I know.
