      Great product!!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My project would not have turned out so well without using Kilz. Had an old shed that was an eyesore. Used Kilz first then painted over with a pretty sky blue. Now I have a pretty she shed/garden shed that is the envy of the neighborhood. Still waiting to finish the side. But I love it!! Thanks to Kilz products.

          Perfect primer and so easy to use!!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a house that was built in the 70s and it has old wood paneling. We want to paint it but needed something to keep the paneling from bleeding through our paint job. I researched what to use and this was recommended many times. We thought we would need multiple coats because of the black in the paneling but we didn’t!!! See photo with only ONE coat!! 10/10 recommend it!!

            Excellent coverage - wood walls
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Renovating an 1876 home. Very old wood walls & this stuff has done wonders to cover years of paint and stains that would not wash off! Used it in our barn and brightened up everything!

                  Covers Well and Gives Peace of Mind
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a 100 year old house recently that was covered in old, peeling, wallpaper. After ripping it all off and scraping the glue there was still some residual glue left on the walls. The Kilz went over it no problem and I haven’t had any glue trying to seep through. I used two coats since the walls were completely bare and it’s looking amazing. I can’t wait to get some paint up now. Pictures are before and during some of the glue scraping and then the final result after 2 coats of primer.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fist coat wanted to bead up a little in places, but the second coat completely covered the dark paint. Added a before photo and after in photos.

                            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.

                              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
                                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).

                                  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.

                                        [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

                                              [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!

Its coverage is remarkable! Great product! Thanks, Kilz!
