Q:I have an extra gallon I cannot return. The only use I have for it is to prime the outside aluminum of my old RV. Is it just a matter of durability that makes it interior only?

Answer This Question

A:  Hi Charlee, thanks for the question. Exterior primers are formulated to withstand the elements and also have more mildewcides in them to protect from mold and mildew. Also, I wouldn't recommend using the KILZ Original Primer on he exterior of an RV because of durability issues. Have a great day! -Ronald

      A:  Hi Beth, thank you for your question. Most VOCs will be gone in 48 hours. However, I suggest taking the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to your child's doctor to get their professional advice. Have a great day! -Giovanna

          KILZ Original (oil-based) White primer paint
          KILZ Original is the BOMB! Bought a 50-year-old House (previous Owner 34-year Heavy SMOKERS). Farmer neighbor (who regret ever selling the .6 Acre plot from the front of his field) said he viewed the House before it went on the Market (said it needed TOO much Work, at his age). Anyway, tore out Carpets (KILZ painted floors), tried cleaning Walls (gave up – KILZ painted as well). Finally, tried cleaning Ceilings with concentrated cleaner (3x to get sooty brown cigarette Smoke off the surface in a 3x3 area – gave up, and had to KILZ paint the Ceilings as well). All we had to do at our previous House was tear out carpets & KILZ paint the floors. This house was a Job! Other than Kitchen & Bathroom (which my Wife & daughter insisted needed kitchen & bathroom paint), 100% of the upstairs interior is KILZ Original (oil-based) paint. Still have a couple gallons (for any needed touch-up in the future). That was last Summer. For CIGARETTE SMOKE – get KILZ Original (white) primer. It’s the only way. r

            Awful smell
            Smell was so toxic I had to send my kids to a relatives house! I need to paint but I'm worried that smell will never go away. (Windows open, fans on, 2 air purifiers, etc) Would not have bought for my baby's room had I known how toxic it smells.

            Response from Franeelly, Kilz Customer CareApr 25, 2024
            Thank you for your review and pictures of your project. I'm so sorry to hear the primer smells stronger than expected. I'm here to help get your project back on track! Our Kilz Original Primer is an oil-based primer. Oil-based products typically have a stronger odor, especially compared to water-based products. The good news is that the odor should dissipate and go away on its own. To get your project back on track, I recommend giving it extra time to dry with the additional ventilation. The primer is designed to be fast drying, and while there may still be a slight odor, that should lessen the smell so you can topcoat the surface. Once painted, the paint will cover the primer and odor. If you still have concerns about the smell, I recommend recoating the surface with our water-based and odor-blocking primer, Kilz Restoration Primer. Your satisfaction is important to us, and I understand this was unexpected. I've reached out to you directly via email to learn more about your project and assist you further. I hope to hear from you soon!
              Great

                Amazing for everything!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this so many times!! When in doubt Kilz it!! I wanted to white wash my fireplace and I knew the old soot would come through the paint if I couldn’t get it completely clean (I have a textured brick so that is pretty much impossible) so I decided to try Kilz original primer. And I have had it this way for 3 years and it still looks amazing!!!

                    Reliable Coverage, Easy to Use
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Kilz for multiple applications, from priming furniture before painting, to priming bathroom ceiling and walls to prevent mildew. No matter my needs, Kilz has never failed me. I will always come back to this brand for my priming needs.

                        35 year smoker stains and smells gone in one appl!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a small house a smoker lived and smoked I. For 35 years. The walls were brown from cigarette smoke and the house smelled awful. I bought the Kiltz Original and a friend used his paint sprayer and sprayed the Kiltz Original on everything, walls, ceilings, woodwork, and doors. It covered everything in one coat. The smell was gone and after it dried, I only had to do one coat of paint to cover the walls. Just follow the directions on the can and you will not be disappointed.

                            Kilz is great.
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having an old house, we have had 5 uses for Kilz in the past 4 years. Kilz primer beautifully covered water stains on 3 ceilings and one wall. I rescued an old set of drawers that had never been painted, and Kilz was the perfect primer.
