286258 Bulls Eye 1-2-3 All Surface Primer, Quart, Gray

I've used a lot of primers over the years and this one just keeps ending up back in my hand. It's water-based, so cleanup is easy and the smell is minimal, which matters a lot when you're working inside or in a tight space. It goes on smooth, covers well in one or two coats, and dries fast enough that you're not sitting around waiting to move to the next step. What I really appreciate is the coverage on problem surfaces. If you've got stains, discoloration, or walls that just look rough, this stuff handles it without complaint. It's thick enough to actually do something but not so heavy that it fights you on the brush or roller. The consistency is consistent, which sounds basic but isn't always true with cheaper primers. The quart size is the right call for smaller DIY projects. It goes further than you'd expect, and you'll likely have some left over. If you want a really clean finish for your topcoat, a quick pass with 220 grit before you paint makes a noticeable difference, though it's by no means required. No complaints worth raising. It does exactly what a primer should do, doesn't fight you, and doesn't cost a fortune. For the price and performance, it's hard to argue with. I'd stock a couple of these before any paint project.

Excellent primer for your deck I find it to be better than the kilts . seems to cover anything, although it’s not recommended for the floorboards of the deck. I think it would work though not sure why.

Works so well!!! Covered up the spots left over by wallpaper removal after I used guardz problem surface. You would never tell I messed up the walls so bad. Only thing is that it’s thick so it runs out quicker than I’d like for the price but don’t mind paying for a product that works. You can’t hit it multiple times in the same spot once it starts to dry or it will clump but that’s because it is an adhesive.

I used this on a large drywall patch then painted over it. It was seamless. Perfect patch without any shine through or dullness.

This primer is awesome! My radiators in my home were a faded Pepto bismol pink....I tried to paint them with white interior paint, but the pink bled through and looked awful. I ordered this and it covered the pink! Now I can finish them with the white . It didn't smell bad either, I was worried about that because I have emphysema. It dried quickly, as well. I definitely recommend it, well worth the price!

Worked well

I used this on my 77 Ford F150. The area under and around the wipers and the slots for air are galvanized and very hard to keep automotive paint on the areas. The Bulls eye seems to be working so far but it time will tell once the Texas sun starts baking it! Note: some moron shipped this can in a bag, not a box, just an Amazon paper envelope, a bag! It came with tape over the top of the can on on to the sides of the can over all the information. So of course, when removing the tape, the instructions were also removed. The top of the can was also dented. There a metal "keepers for can tops, obviously Amazon and the Bulls Eye company need to apply them to the product. Not sure who is to blame for shipping just the can unprotected ... Amazon shipping or the Bulls Eye company but I am leaning toward Amazon shipping. Amazon does not leave the opportunity to comment on issues with shipping and the option of exchanging the damaged can for an undamaged can (damaged can is hard to re-seal) correctly from the dent) was not even an option. see red arrow of galvanized area. Hope this helps

This is a really good primer. It's water based so no heavy scent, washes off easily and my acrylic brushes are easy to wash after as well. It's thick enough for bonding. This size can will last a few DIY jobs or through a big one. Great buy for sure!

This product seems to have the ability to escape from captivity never to be seen again. Other Zinsser paints the same. Maybe they are colonizing some far flung Pacific Atoll ?

As described

Very high quality product. Great coverage. Highly recommend.

Lo utice para un proyecto bajo la escalera, quedó espectacular y ayudó mucho a qué rindiera el esmalte posterior. Seca muy rápido y el olor es mínimo.

Lo compré por un problema de moho que tuve y, después de limpieza, parece que sí está ayudando
