L211101 Adhesion High-Bonding Interior Latex Primer/Sealer, White, 1-gallon, 1 Gallon, 4 l

Long time painter here, who is picky about her paints, and honestly I wasn't to sure about using Kilz for a bonding primer instead of 'bigger' brand. Bonding primers have big jobs. They have to rework the surface of what you're painting to be cleaner and allow for adhesion of the next paint layer. Don't hesitate to buy this if you have an iffy surface and want to skip/or are unable to prep. 1. This loads like a dream onto a roller or brush. I've been painting ceilings (which were previously high-gloss) with this, and there was no drip onto the floor, or down my arm. 2. It goes on well. Smooth as velvet and nice coverage from the first roll onto the last. It's thick, and one coat is all you'll need before you move on. 3. Clean up is a snap. My brush washed out quickly. Everything came up with water. 4. Dry time is super fast. Only con is the smell. But you can't expect a paint like this, a good, thick, and durable paint, to be low VOC. Keep your space ventilated and you'll be fine.

Love this kilt. It cover great and it works well

Manufactured home, with ugly wood like shiny wrapped cabinets and molding. Cleaned with dawn dish soap, applied this product and it went on smooth with 100% coverage, allowed to dry and added another coat, solid white. Now to paint. In the past I’ve used other primers and when painted on the primer would bead up, not coat the area at all. I was skeptical of this product, but am blown away! No sanding, no beading, just smooth complete coverage. Now to tackle the whole house and rid myself of the ugly orange wood like cabinets and trim! Update: started on kitchen cabinets and trim. After washing down with dawn dish soap, rinsing with damp cloth and drying, I then used M-1 TSP substitute and followed directions on bottle. Then brushed on primer, first coat went on perfectly. Pictures to follow.

We inherited an orange walled house even the previous owner did not like yet did nothing about it in 2 decades. Since we were on a budget on how many thousands of USD we will spend I decided to paint everything myself using this Kilz 2 later 3, seeing no much difference between them 2: 1. Some walls were OK after 5, 6 coats, some needed less - all the items, excluding the brushes (from Dollar tree) were purchased here. Search for the extending up to 8 feet brush holder - that was another good find here at around 20 USD 2. None of the walls could be scratched after applying this, yet I am sure that our walls could be different than other people's walls 3. I even used it on the window wood trims and did an excellent job. Later on I decided to buy something more expensive for some doors as the previous owner painted some badly in white and the other side of the door was wood mimicking!!!!! Some strange people out there blaming it on their medical problems as if our DNA is perfect!!!! 4. Price: I purchased this at a very low price under 30 USD/gallon as it was at that moment in time, for 5 gallons the price was even better, so you might want to think about this once you buy a gallon and think this is the best paint for you. 5. The 14 inches long used rolls (also purchased here) you cannot but throw away at the end of the day, however the wide paint tray (purchased here too) was covered in large plastic bags, hence looking brand new even when finishing painting the house. You can peel off this paint off the plastic bag, off the floors etc - I like that. The empty gallon paint containers can be peeled too inside and outside and I used them as pots for the trees I have created out of the branches I found in our garden, saving hundreds of dollars as similar trees cost here - I put them to cover our very tall walls, near paints etc as I am a big fan of 'dead art' or right near our beautiful tall plants. Some trees were simply painted in white, also with this paint, some covered in autumn fabric leaves (purchased here at great value for money) or pearl stems (yes, also purchased here at great value for money and taped with white tape, also purchased here. Aren't I full of ideas? And yes, I would buy it again in the future for some white walls.

Pretty expensive stuff but I gave it a try especially after spending lots of time scraping and sanding the door jamb. Tons of flaking, chipping paint. This applies very easily with a brush, fairly thick but flattens nicely. I think it will adhere well, certainly is an improvement over what appears to be a poorly or perhaps never primed door jamb.
