1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: Happy to help, Hawk! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer can be applied to vinyl surfaces, we do not recommend it for use over wallpaper. With any paint application, we do recommend removing wallpaper from the surface first to ensure lasting results. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

A: Great question, Mike! Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer will help bind chalky surfaces and is suitable for use on moderately chalked aluminum or previously painted siding and trim.

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: We're here to help! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer can be applied to bare and previously painted wood, anything loose would need to be removed from the surface prior to painting. This primer will not bind down any loose or peeling paint. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

Does not stop paint from peeling

Bathroom ceiling paint began peeling a couple of years after remodel. Purchased Bulls Eye 123 and treated the peeling surface exactly as instructed and applied primer. Painted again using good quality ceiling paint. The ceiling began peeling within a month of application.

This review is from Bulls Eye 1-2-3 1 Gal. White Water-Based Interior/Exterior Primer and Sealer

Let's talk about this, Bob! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer will adhere to most surfaces, it will not adhere to surfaces that have moisture issues. Constant exposure to moisture and high humidity can cause most paints and primers to blister and peel over time.

Worst primer I have ever used

This was recommended to me by various painters. I just put 2 coats on white walls that I tested some other “new” white color options on and you can still see them all. The whole gallon on 2 walls. Now I get to go buy the kilz primer that I normally use and redo it all over again. Don’t waste your money on this junk

This review is from Bulls Eye 1-2-3 1 Gal. White Water-Based Interior/Exterior Primer and Sealer

We appreciate you reaching out, John, and sharing your experinece. Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer will trap stains and colors in the film of the primer, preventing bleed through to the topcoat. Please keep in mind, this must be topcoated with an opaque paint since it is a primer, and it is not intended to be left as is.

Don't waste your time and money

I really don't know why all the "pro's" recommend this. I've tried it on various surfaces and it doesn't cover a thing. Nor does it adhere to the surface. Complete waste of my time and money. I'm going back to Kilz.

This review is from Bulls Eye 1-2-3 1 Gal. White Water-Based Interior/Exterior Primer and Sealer

Let's talk about this! Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer will trap most stains in the film of the primer and prevent bleed through with the topcoat. Since this is a primer, it does require an opaque topcoat for full durability and performance. In ideal conditions, this primer fully cures after 7 days and will have reached full adhesion at that point. We recommend avoiding scratching or abrading the surface before that point.

Does not stick on all surfaces as advertised

We bought this primer to go over our cupboard doors that had a mild shellac. It appeared like it was going to adhere because it didn’t bubble. When dried it scratches off like a lottery ticket. Horrible. Why say it sticks to any surface and then not stick at all? Makes a much bigger mess and cost.

Let's see what we can figure out. As noted on the Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water Based Primer label, surface must be clean, dry, sound and free from dust, dirt, excessive chalky material, grime, grease, oil, wax, mildew, wallpaper adhesive, or any contamination that may interfere with adhesion. Shellac contains wax, no paint or prime will adhere to shellac that contains wax, it is an unpaintable surface.

Primer is horrible, waste of time

I have used the Zinser shellac primer before, and that works well. Was looking for a lower odor option, so I gave this one a try. Unfortunately, a very different experience. I has primed a shelf using this product, and after it dried for over a month, had to drill some holes for shelf pins. I used blue painters tape to mark the spot and make for a cleaner hole. When removing the tape, it basically made the primer bubble up and came off in entire sheets. I would not recommend this product.

Let's talk about this! Since this is a primer, Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer does need to be topcoated with an opaque topcoat for full durability and performance. We recommend applying a topcoat after one hour, or at least before a week has passed, to ensure the new coat properly adheres.

Peels off joint compound

I used this product on new drywall. A few weeks after I had primed and painted I had to do some rework due to minor drywall damage. As I was working the area the paint and primer started to peel off the area that was joint compound. It sticks fine to the paper part of the drywall but what good is it if it doesn't stick to joint compound. I will never use this product again.

Let's talk about this, John! When repairing drywall, the joint compound may need time to cure before priming with Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer or the areas may need to be sealed. If needing further assistance, please give us a call at (888) 855-1774.
