KILZ® ORIGINAL
Interior Water-Based Primer

Surface Preparation

The following steps are recommended for product performance.

• All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease, wax, polish, mold and mildew, loose peeling paint, rust and all other foreign substances.
• If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or a TSP substitute, rinse well and allow to dry.
• Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface. Sanding or removal of paint containing lead is hazardous.*
• Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly before priming.*
• Mold or Mildew Covered Surfaces: Do not use. Mold and/or mildew must be completely removed first with a mildew remover. Surface must be cleaned, allowed to dry and assured to be mold and/or mildew free before applying.
• Masonry, Brick, Stucco and Plaster: KILZ ORIGINAL WATER-BASED Primer may be used on clean, dry, aged interior masonry surfaces that have cured (dried) at least 30 days.
• Fire Restoration: It is critical to clean and repair damaged surfaces thoroughly before priming.
• Comes in a flat, white finish and is not tintable.
• Does not have odor blocking capability.

* WARNING If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. Contact the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

Application

• Eye protection is recommended. For spray applications, a small amount of water (no more than 1/2 pint per gallon) may be added. Do not thin for stainblocking applications.
• Only apply if surface, air and product temperatures are between 50°-90°F. Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Apply using a brush, roller or sprayer.
• Brush – High quality Nylon/Polyester
• Roller – High quality 3/8-1/2" nap on smooth surfaces or 1/2-3/4" nap on semi-rough or porous surfaces.
• Airless spray – .015 - .021 tip / 60 mesh filter
• Prime the entire surface to ensure a uniform appearance of the topcoat.
• Stainblocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through by applying the topcoat to a small section. Allow the primer to dry longer for heavier stain-blocking. If the stain bleeds through the topcoat, apply a second coat of primer and test again before topcoating the entire area.
• Coverage: 300 - 400 sq. ft. (27.87 - 37 m2) per gallon depending on application method and surface porosity.
