Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer Vs Kilz (2024)

FAQs

What is the Sherwin equivalent to Kilz? ›

Sherwin's ProBlock line (oil-based and waterborne) is probably more on par with the Kilz and Zinsser retail products.

They are Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer, and Behr Bonding Primer. These top two primers were the very best at bonding in both the 24 hour test and the 38 day test.

“It's a one-coat application that dries fast and promotes adhesion to hard-to-stick surfaces, ensuring a uniform appearance of the topcoat.”

Zinsser shellac seems to be the more heavy-duty option, as reviewers say it completely blocks troublesome odors in existing paints.

KILZ COMPLETE COAT® PAINT & PRIMER Interior/Exterior Satin is a low VOC, low odor, premium acrylic paint with excellent hide. It is highly scrubbable and easy to touch-up, resists staining, fading, and peeling. It also offers a mildew resistant finish.

KILZ® ADHESION Primer is a water-base, modified-acrylic primer specifically formulated to bond to a variety of 'tough-to-paint' surfaces.

Extreme Bond® Primer is a high quality, waterborne, urethane modified acrylic primer.

(Note: Bonding primers are not recommended for use over peeling paint).

You will want to use 2-3 coats of primer to ensure there is a good bond between the new paint and the wall, and also to cover up any previous colors, especially if they are red, orange, or a strange outdated color. In short, you will typically need 2 coats of primer for most painting projects.

Depending on the product, bonding primers can also offer the advantage of accommodating lots of different coatings, including hot coatings with a high solvent content. Whereas an exothermic reaction may cause a major problem with a regular primer, the premium products can accept just about anything.

Is Sherwin Williams Extreme bond primer good for cabinets? ›

Extreme Bond Primer offers exceptional adhesion for hard-to-stick surfaces like cabinets. Plus, when you pair this primer with the power of a clean surface, you might not even need to sand. Once you've taken care of primer, the best paint for cabinets is Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel.

Ideal for surfaces like kitchen cabinets, tile, glass panels and plastic piping, the next generation Extreme Bond Primer offers a greater degree of adhesion compared to standard primers.

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.

Premium Wall & Wood Primer offers premium quality primer for the smoothest finish. Multi-Purpose Latex Primer is general purpose whole-house primer for multiple surfaces. Drywall Primer seals new drywall and previously painted walls for a consistent finish.

Utilizing the most technologically-advanced acrylic of the KILZ Brand, MAGNOLIA HOME BY JOANNA GAINES Paint combines paint and primer properties with exceptional stainblocking performance.

HGTV Home® by Sherwin-Williams Mold & Mildew Primer is ideal for high-humidity and high-moisture areas as it contains an EPA-registered mildewcide to prevent mold and mildew growth on the primer film.
