KILZ 2® GRAY INTERIOR | EXTERIOR PRIMER
KILZ 2® GRAY Primer is a fast drying, water-based, multi-surface primer-sealer-stainblocker which is best used under dark, rich and deep vibrant color topcoats.
This helps achieve more accurate color with fewer coats of paint and also improves hiding of previous colors. KILZ 2 GRAY Primer has excellent adhesion, sealing properties and a very mild odor. Effectively blocks “light to medium” stains including water stains, rust, grease, ink, pencil and felt marker.
Use on interior and exterior surfaces including woodwork, drywall, plaster, paneling, masonry, brick, painted metal and properly prepared glossy surfaces†. Use under or over water-based or oil-based paints. Not recommended on flooring.
