Zinsser 02244 Bulls Eye Water-Base Primer and Sealer, Quart, White

I’m repainting an old vinyl floor in my house and this primer worked great. It covered most of the old stencil pattern in 2 coats and seems like it will be pretty durable under the floor paint I’m using.

Pros: Good cost. Available in 1 Quart sizes. No overpowering smell. Adheres incredibly well to painted surfaces, wood, spackle and over painted walls. (You'll learn how well it adheres when you accidentally get a drip on the floor or your clothing!) Provides an excellent uniform color and surface for paint to adhere to. Minimal sanding required. Cons: Difficult clean-up. Really adheres to paint brush bristles and paint pails. Dries quickly, sometimes too quickly. Used to remodel a room recently. Had to prime-over existing painted trim, new MDF baseboards and patched drywall. Product works great and new paint adhered to it extremely well. 2 Coats did a great job of covering-up existing paint color of trim and gave me a uniform base color to paint over. No shadows or color bleed. Worked great on MDF as well. This is my go-to primer going forward.

Absolutely perfect! I was crossing my fingers with this, guys... I needed a thick primer to cover a pretty rough surface (rough is the design). This was the best first try ever! I don't think I'll ever use any other primer, ever. I am a customer for life! It is the perfect thickness, it will fill the little imperfections, and smooth the larger ones. My project was unique, but the fact that it worked on my extremely rough wood surface is just astonishing to me! And it is affordable!! I'd give it 10 stars if I could, and no I was not paid for this or whatever, I'm just really surprised I picked right the first time for once, lmao 😂 I definitely recommend this for any primer project, as you can thin it, if needed, making it the perfect can to have for every project!

The water-base makes it easier to work with especially in terms of clean up/accidents. The quart is a great price for the size if you aren't doing a large project. The can did come massively dented but the lid was held in place with metal pins that I used a metal hand tool to gently pry off. This dries fast and generally serves its purpose.

My fiance loves this paint! I have used it many times over the years but he had never worked with it and he was impressed with the quality and coverage at such an affordable price. One can goes quite far and there is really minimal, if any, odor to it. I really love that it takes very little time to dry and this particular brand and line has been consistent across the years I've used it. No complaints!

Good base sealer and primer, many uses.

Great price but it doesn't cover. I was attempting to cover pencil and different types of paint, charcoal, and other craziness (never lease to a faux artist) and this didn't manage to cover anything. I switched to another product. It felt like this was old, maybe wasn't the same quality I would experience if I bought it from the local hardware store. I don't know why.

Excellent quality and a very good price
