Product Description

A good primer makes paint stick better to surfaces, makes paint color truer, and lets you use less paint. KILZ 2 is a fast drying, water-based low odor primer ideal for interior and exterior use. KILZ 2 Latex blocks mild to medium staining from water, grease, ink, pencil and felt marker and is ideal to hide previous colors. It seals porous surfaces and offers strong adhesion for new paint. Use this versatile primer-sealer-stainblocker on interior/exterior surfaces including brick, painted metal, properly prepared glossy surfaces, drywall, paneling, stucco, masonry, plaster and wood. Use for interior/exterior walls or ceilings with mild to medium stains. Top coat with latex or oil-base paints. For tougher interior/exterior jobs, consider KILZ Complete. This is a 5-gallon bucket of KILZ 2 Latex Water-Based Primer, Sealer, and Stainblocker for interior and exterior surfaces in white. Covers approximately 300-400 square feet per gallon. Use on properly prepared surfaces free of dust, grease, chalk, rust and peeling paint. Mix well before using. Apply with brush, roller, or spray. KILZ 2 dries to touch within 30 minutes and ready to recoat in an hour. A good bonding primer is essential to ensure that topcoats adhere to tough-to-paint surfaces. High adhesion primer increases painting possibilities by bonding to a wide range of surfaces. KILZ Adhesion is a unique latex primer developed to bond securely on slick surfaces where a traditional water or oil-base primer will not adhere. Bonds to tough-to-paint surfaces including Kynar, PVC, Formica, vinyl, glass, tile, glazed brick, chalky paints, glossy finishes, fiberglass and metals. Topcoat with either latex or oil-based paint. Use on most interior and exterior surfaces where a secure bond is critical. This problem solving primer can be used under epoxies, lacquers, and products containing Xylene or other solvents. This is a 1-quart can of KILZ Adhesion High-Bonding Interior/Exterior water-based Primer in white. Covers approximately 300 square feet per gallon.

Light consistency and watery. First time ever doing a kitchen cabinet paint job so not sure what to expect. Overall, great buy. Works well and did the job. Finish isn’t too glossy which can be good or bad depending on what you’re looking for. I didn’t use up the whole container for my kitchen cabinet. Used up half.
