KILZ® ORIGINAL Oil-Based Primer is a powerful
KILZ Original 1 Qt. Oil-Based White Primer, Sealer and Stain Blocker is suitable for application on most interior surfaces such as furniture, drywall, plaster, woodwork, paneling, wallpaper, masonry, brick, painted metal and properly prepared glossy surfaces. It blocks smoke and water stains and it seals pet odors.
Oil-based primers offer excellent adhesion and stain-blocking properties but take longer to dry and have a stronger odor. Water-based primers dry quickly, have less odor, and are easier to clean but may not block stains as effectively. The choice depends on the project requirements and preferences.
Rating: KILZ ORIGINAL INTERIOR/EXTERIOR Primer is an oil-based primer, sealer and stain blocker ideal for heavy stain blocking, sealing multiple interior and exterior surfaces and preparing it for painting. It is especially effective at blocking graffiti, tannin, water, smoke, and other bleeding stains.
Yes, you can use oil based paint over a water based primer. The main worries with mixing solvents are using a water based topcoat over an oil topcoat as it won't adhere (or it will and then will crack and craze over time). Primers are designed such that the finish coat will adhere to to primer.
Dry Time @ 77°F (25°C) / 50% RH: Touch in 30 minutes. Paint in 1 hour.

Apply as supplied using a brush, roller or sprayer. Do not thin. Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Prime the entire surface to ensure a uniform appearance of the topcoat.
Latex paints will not stick to oil based paints. The exception is that an oil based primer may accept any kind of top coat paint. For that reason, an oil based primer is recommended to be applied over any oil based top coat, then a water based paint may be used as a top coat.
Water-based primers work well on ceilings, interior walls, and exterior surfaces for new projects. On the other hand, oil-based primers offer better performance on surfaces that require more durability and stain-blocking capabilities.
What are the benefits? Oil-based primers are better at blocking or sealing stains, especially water-soluble stains. They're also superior at blocking tannin.
A drawback of oil-based primers (as with oil-based paints), they are often slow-drying and release high amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can be harmful to people in high concentrations and with prolonged exposure.
You can use a latex primer over oil-based paint as long as it is a bonding primer. Bonding primers are best because they are formulated to adhere to glossy surfaces, such as oil-based painted finishes.
Depending on how strong or bold the previous color is, it may be necessary to apply more than one coat of primer. However, it is not necessary to over apply the primer with so many coats. As long as the primer applies uniformly over the previous color, then one or two coats should be sufficient.
KILZ® can be easily sprayed . To Spray KILZ® you should use an airless paint sprayer that will allow you to use a 15 to 21 thousands tip, though some products will require a 27 thousands tip. Spray pressure will be around 1800 to 3000 PSI.

Prior to applying the primer, remove any mold or mildew with a proper remover or have it removed by a professional. In severe cases, the moldy substrates may need to be replaced. Once the surface is mold and mildew free, ensure it is clean and dry before applying primer.

Oil-based primers permeate wood more comprehensively compared to latex primers, making them ideal for getting ready weathered wood for painting. The best permeation is attained by a slow-drying primer, however, the price to pay is an extended wait period before doing the topcoating.
Original Kilz Primer allowed more seep through when put in two coats to two different walls in the same area, whereas Zinsser provided superior coverage.
Water based primer is usually used for walls and ceilings where there is new work and preparation is required, and oil based primer is primarily used for doors, windows, metal or woodwork. Enamel is hardier so surfaces that require heavy traffic or exposure to the elements are usually painted in enamel.
Over time, fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels can make paint peel. For spaces where this is normal like kitchens, using KILZ 3® Premium Primer (known for its exceptional adhesion and durability) before you paint can help ensure your paint job lasts longer.
