  • Great coverage
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I had mold in my bathroom, even after I cleaned it with bleach the stains were still there. I used this paint, 2 coats and it’s perfect. No bleeding and the white is a perfect pure white with some shine.

  • Wonderful paint and very easy to use-thick and does not drip easily
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
KILZ latex primer is a water-based paint that covers easily and dries evenly and quickly. It dries a flat/matte bright white color and it is easy to use. It is low odor and worked fantastically on window frames and all areas I applied the paint. A little goes a long way and it was extremely useful when I was refreshing areas of my home. It serves well primer/sealer/stain blocker. It is a protective paint and I am very happy with my choice. It was also thought of highly by the professional painters that were painting high ceilings in my home. They liked that it was water-based and not oil. ... show more

  • Great
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this as a primer to cover a dark red wall (based on Brad the Painter's web site recommendation). I possibly could have gotten away with 2 coats but used 3 to make sure the red would be completely cover ( I was going to white from red). Very pleased with the coverage and result of finished wall. ... show more

  • Best primer I’ve used but this one got lost in shipping
Size: 5 Gallon (Pack of 1)
I’ve been painting my house for the last year. I’ve used a lot of different primers and so far this is my favorite. It’s thick, has less drippage, and the coverage is awesome. The drawback is it’s expensive but I feel it’s worth the extra money because one coat coverage does the job. I got a good deal on this one but sadly it was lost or damaged during shipping. That was frustrating after waiting weeks for it. ... show more

  • It never dries

I used just a little bit that I put on a ice cream box. Even a couple of week later, it is still not dried. This is awesome!
