Quality solutions for every job

Whether you need a premium primer to resolve common issues around the home or are looking for industrial-strength endurance for commercial properties, Zinsser offers effective formulas. Extend the life and enhance the durability of painting jobs by providing a quality base coat proven to give top-of-the-line adhesion to a wide range of coatings, even on difficult surfaces and substrates. Many of these best-selling primers come in both traditional quarts/gallons for roll and brush on applications as well as quick-apply aerosol sprays.

Zinsser stain, odor, mold, ceiling and hard to bond surface primers

Difficult or problem surfaces? Not an issue. Check Zinsser's full line of specialized primers.

Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer Family

Prime a wide range of interior and exterior surfaces, including:

  • Wood
  • Metal
  • Plaster
  • Concrete
  • Tile
  • Glass
  • Gloss Enamels
  • ...and more!

Do It Right the First Time

Why it's important to prime

Priming isn't just an extra step in the painting process - it ensures that the work and money spent painting surfaces isn't wasted. Use primer as a buffer between what you need to paint and the top coat you want to use to make sure that nothing interferes with the final appearance of your work.

Reasons to prime:

  • Prevents top coat paints from flaking, scraping or scratching away easily by providing better adhesion to surfaces
  • Seals or bonds to difficult-to-paint surfaces, allowing regular paint to be used on otherwise impossible surfaces
  • Can cover and eliminate surface problems (like water damage, odors and more) so that they can be painted directly over without repairs
  • Creates a smooth, uniform coating that ensure top coat paint goes on easily and evenly
  • Covers up bright or dark colors to help paint require less coats to achieve "true" color
  • Protects items from wear and weathering when used better than paint can alone

Was worried would be difficult to apply but was super easy and left a nice bright white smooth finish. Doesn’t even need paint because it looks so nice, but also looks nice after paint. Great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest wood primer
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2016
Size: 1 Quarts (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I purchased this after reading How To Paint Furniture on the JustAGirl blog. That chick really knows her stuff. I was repainting my bathroom cabinets in lieu of ripping it out and replacing it. I wanted it to look GOOD. This stuff did the trick plus I used Benjamin Moore Super Spec paint which is highly washable which I needed in a bathroom. It's kind of thick once you stir it up but dries fairly quick. I don't know what else to say other than my paint laid very nicely over it. Even my hypercritical father was impressed. I plan on using this for some older furniture I want to revamp and possibly my kitchen cabinets!
