Glossy Surfaces: KILZ PREMIUM and KILZ 2® Primers are recommended for use over properly prepared glossy surfaces. Mold or Mildew Covered Surfaces: Wash the area with a mildew remover, rinse with water and allow to dry before priming.
A primer will help prevent peeling and chipping when you paint over the gloss paint. Apply a thin, even layer over the entire surface with the gloss paint. Start at the top of the surface and work your way down so you can cover the area evenly.
Super grip primer is an adhesion-promoting primer that is the secret to being able to paint over smooth and shiny surfaces without having to sand them first. You only need to apply one coat of primer, as it will adhere to the gloss paint really well.
Use on wood, drywall, plaster, paneling, wallpaper, masonry, brick, painted metal and properly prepared glossy surfaces†. Not recommended for mold or mildew-prone surfaces or on flooring.
Extreme Bond Primer is a high quality, waterborne, acrylic bonding primer that promotes adhesion on a wide range of hard to paint surfaces with only a one coat application. Designed for coating hard, slick, glossy non-porous surfaces with minimal surface preparation (not designed for floors).
Best for use in. Use on interior and exterior surfaces including woodwork, drywall, plaster, paneling, masonry, brick, painted metal and properly prepared glossy surfaces†.
An alternative is to use a primer that is designed to stick to glossy surfaces. So, you'll first add a layer of primer and let it dry. Then, it's time to use one or two coats of regular paint. For best results, it's a good idea to sand the wall surface before using the primer.
Its advanced chemistry provides a sound anchor for topcoats while reducing or potentially eliminating the need for sanding dense, glossy surfaces including Kynar®, PVC, vinyl, Formica®, glass, tile, glazed brick, chalky paints, glossy finishes, fiberglass and metals.
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES AND AVOID REATHING OF VAPORS AND SPRAY MIST. WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. To avoid breathing vapors and spray mist, open windows and doors or use other means to ensure fresh air entry during application and drying.
We recommend KILZ KLEAR® Clear Sealer & Bonding Primer – a high performance fast-drying, multi-surface clear primer developed to seal highly porous surfaces inside and outside your home. It is also recommended for use when painting the same topcoat paint color on top of an existing paint coat.
Once you're done stripping the semi-gloss paint from your walls, prime them. For this task, use a latex primer as it offers excellent adhesion for the topcoat and is suitable for both semi-gloss and satin paints.
Roughing up the primer is not necessary. If you are going after a smoother hi-end finish then sanding is necessary between coats. It really depends on the quality of the finish you are willing to except. Sanding between paint coats helps achieve a better smoother finish, but not necessary to sand between primer coats.
Painting glossy, impermeable surfaces requires a primer with exceptional adhesion. Zinsser's B-I-N® Primer Sealer is exactly that!
Can I Paint Straight Over Gloss? While it is possible to paint straight over gloss, we do not recommend this. The shiny surface of the gloss doesn't provide good adhesion for whatever paint you use over the top of gloss. The new paint will therefore chip easily and won't look good for long.
If you have various stains, shellac Bonding primer is the ideal choice. It can be used to cover rough surfaces and old varnish as well as metal and ceramic.
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.
While KILZ ADHESION Primer is formulated to bond without sanding, it is recommended that a small area be tested for adhesion prior to beginning the job.
Kilz works to trap and seal odors, block stains, or even fill in porous surfaces. By doing so, it leaves a smooth base for fresh paint to go on smoothly and look its best.
Customers say Kilz Original Interior Primer is a reliable and effective solution for covering stains, odors, and dark colors, often achieving excellent results in just one coat.
“If you are looking for a primer that can stick to almost anything for both interiors and exteriors, Stix® has you covered.”
KILZ Mold & Mildew Primer prevents mold and mildew growth on the primer film/primer surface. It is important to ensure that the surface is mold and mildew free before the primer and topcoat paint is applied. It is however, not supposed to be applied directly to mold (especially the black or yellowish, wet, slimy type).
Choose a suitable primer based on the surface you're painting. For example, gloss is mainly used on wooden skirting boards or ceiling cornices, so a specialist wood primer is the best choice. Use a paintbrush or roller to apply the primer. One coat should be enough but check the instructions for detailed guidance.
The key to achieving the best possible results is to use a primer first, work with the right tools, and to paint in thin layers; You can paint over gloss paint only if you prep the surface first, otherwise, the results will be far from good looking.
