    Q:Will this cover over fine sand textured paint

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. Our Restoration Primer can be used to seal over the surface of the paint, but it won't help to hide the texture. If you're looking to smooth out the texture, I'd recommend sanding it smooth first before priming. Have a great day! -Ronald

          A:  Hi Rodriguez, thanks for your question. Both our Kilz Restoration and Kilz Original can be applied to your subfloor to block the pet urine odors. The main difference between these primers is that our Kilz Original is oil-based and may have a more severe paint odor than our water-based Kilz Restoration. Have a great day! -Christina

            Answer This Question

            A:  Hi Patty, thanks for the question, The restoration Primer leaves a flat finish. Keep in mind that the primer needs to be top-coated with paint within 30 days. It isn't meant to be left uncoated. Have a great day! -Ronald

              Q:I will be using this product to seal cat/dog urine & stains on the concrete floor in the garage. Can other products can be applied over this? Such as Behr Granite Grip, Concrete & Garage Epoxy Coating, or any other epoxy or stain be applied over this?

              Answer This Question

              A:  Hi Michelle, thanks for your question. While our Kilz Restoration can be topcoated with water-based paints/coatings, it can only be applied to a subfloor that will be covered with new flooring. It is not designed to be used on a surface that comes in direct contact with foot traffic. Have a great day! -Christina

                Q:I have already used this for a smoke stained ceiling and love it. Will this work for a darker stained wood trim? Is there prep to this by sanding a little? Trim is cleaned and has a polyurethane finish onto. Thank you

                Answer This Question

                A:  Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, Kilz Restoration Primer will work on stained wood trim. The surface should be sound, clean, and scuff sanded to promote adhesion if the finish is glossy. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna
