KILZ 2® ALL-PURPOSE
Interior | Exterior 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.

• Unpainted, exterior wood exposed to sun and/or moisture longer than 2-4 weeks must be cleaned and sanded before priming.

• ^†Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly before priming.*

• Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface.*

• Mold or Mildew Covered Surfaces: Wash the area with a mildew remover, rinse with water and allow to dry before priming.
• Masonry, Brick, Stucco and Plaster: KILZ 2 ALL-PURPOSE Primer may be used on clean, dry, aged masonry surfaces. New masonry must be allowed to cure (dry) at least 30 days before applying KILZ 2 ALL-PURPOSE Primer.
• Fire Restoration: It is critical to clean damaged surfaces thoroughly before priming. Primer recommendations: Water-based primers such as KILZ® RESTORATION or oil-based primers such as KILZ® ORIGINAL (interior use) or KILZ® ORIGINAL EXTERIOR.

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 (10°-32°C).
• Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use.
• 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: KILZ 2 ALL-PURPOSE Primer is formulated to block light or medium stains. For heavy stains use oil based primers such as KILZ® ORIGINAL and KILZ® ORIGINAL EXTERIOR or water based primers such as KILZ® RESTORATION and KILZ® PREMIUM.
• Tinting: KILZ 2 ALL-PURPOSE Primer may be tinted with up to 2 ounces of universal colorant per gallon. Tinting to a lighter shade than the topcoat is recommended.
• Coverage: 300-400 sq. ft. (27.87-37 m²) per gallon depending on application method and surface porosity.
