I would only use this product in my paint jobs!
After a year that we painted our house with this product, it has not faded at all, looks as new as it was first painted. I will never use other thing in my house.

    Paints on well
    This both brushes and rolls on well. It builds a thicker coat than I've seen in other primers. Only time will tell if it keeps the outdoor paint from peeling as fast as it does when not using a primer.

    Worked well
    Refacing my cabinets and this was the primer recommended by an associate from the paint department. It worked as expected, two coats needed as it's a little thin. but I am a first time diy'er so i don't know if that's normal or not. But either way no complaints! Making SLOOOOOW progress as can be seen by the photo, lol. Wish me luck!

      Covers nicely
      used as base coat for re-finishing bedroom suit for niece's bedroom. Gave consistent base for getting uniform colors from topcoat of paint.

      Thick, high-hiding, with good bonding for lightly cracked and chipped surfaces. Durable when it dries. Everything I need in a general water-based primer.

      I used this to cover my new drywall and it covered well. I used a 3/8" nap roller with it and it went on smoothly and created a nice base for the semi-gloss enamel I used as a finish. I'll use it again!

      Zinsser Bulls Eye 1,2,3 Primer is a good primer for the surface we needed it to cover. Our project room was smooth taped and there was a lot to cover. We ended up needing more because the raw drywall topping absorbed more of the product than we thought it would. So depending on the surface to be covered, the pail says about 400 square feet per gallon. I was able to cover a little over 500 square feet of drywall topping with the 2 gallons. we got a good paintable surface to apply our finish paint to. I would not hesitate to buy this product again.

      We spent days sanding and priming some older trim in our living room. Saw this online and thought it sure wouldn't hurt to give it a try in our dining room. It covered the old, varnished trim so well that I am mad at myself for not finding this sooner. The smell wasn't bad, and the coverage is fantastic

      wife is painting our existing wood kitchen cabinets - this product does a good job in hiding any of the imperfections in the wood grain - low odor and covers in just 2 coats

      Response from Rust-OleumSupportJun 27, 2024
      Thank you for reaching out! Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer is not a completely opaque coating, as it is a primer and does require an opaque topcoat for full longevity. This primer will trap most stains in the primer film, meaning they may still be visible, but it will prevent bleed through to the final topcoat.
