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

Fantastic primer that goes on smooth with rich coverage. Used for contractors unfinished cabinet to prep for paint and wallpaper.

Smells good and work perfectly fine

No issues with delivery. This is a great company. Great paint products! I’m so glad that it comes in this color, it will make the final color so easy to apply. Can’t wait to get the back porch done!

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

Sprays well, dries quick but drop your item 1 time and it will scratch the paint, ask me how I know. I'd buy again.

great value and quality

I had gotten out of control with prepping surfaces for paint. I was sanding EVERYTHING. Since I have found this primer, those days are mostly over. We had unsightly faux wooden wall paneling in our basement that I had been putting off for years because the prep work I thought it would take. I was weary to try- but purchased this primer and got to work. I washed the walls, let them dry, applied this primer (1 coat) and then painted with regular interior paint. I can take a sharp object to these walls and no paint comes off. The paint completely adhered. I bought another can to keep chugging away at once-avoided home projects. Highly recommend!

I used this primer on a dresser for 2 reasons: it has a glossy finish and it was part wood and part laminate/plywood. I did not want to sand laminate because it can release toxic chemicals. Method: I cleaned the entire dresser really well with a homemade vinegar and water solution. I dried it and lightly sanded the wood components. Then I applied 2-3 coats of primer to every surface. It adhered well to all of the surfaces. The laminate required 3 coats for ideal coverage and the wood parts required only 2 coats. I really like the color of the gray primer. It was just a bit lighter than the chalk paint I used (Wise Owl smoky quartz). I also like that it blocks bleed through of wood. On previous pieces that I didn't use primer, I had to use shellac to prevent the tannins from coming through the paint. Next, I added 2 coats of chalk paint. Lastly, I sealed the piece with 3 coats of Miniwax polycrylic. It looks great. Side note: although this is low VOC, it does have a smell during application (which goes aways when dry) and it still contains chemicals so make sure you have good ventilation (either go outdoors or open windows) and wear a mask.

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 ?
