Review: Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer: The One You Reach For Every Time - I've used a lot of primers over the years and this one just keeps ending up back in my hand. It's water-based, so cleanup is easy and the smell is minimal, which matters a lot when you're working inside or in a tight space. It goes on smooth, covers well in one or two coats, and dries fast enough that you're not sitting around waiting to move to the next step. What I really appreciate is the coverage on problem surfaces. If you've got stains, discoloration, or walls that just look rough, this stuff handles it without complaint. It's thick enough to actually do something but not so heavy that it fights you on the brush or roller. The consistency is consistent, which sounds basic but isn't always true with cheaper primers. The quart size is the right call for smaller DIY projects. It goes further than you'd expect, and you'll likely have some left over. If you want a really clean finish for your topcoat, a quick pass with 220 grit before you paint makes a noticeable difference, though it's by no means required. No complaints worth raising. It does exactly what a primer should do, doesn't fight you, and doesn't cost a fortune. For the price and performance, it's hard to argue with. I'd stock a couple of these before any paint project.
Review: Very good value and did a nice job with only one coat - I stripped some old metal kitchen cabinets and needed to prime them before repainting them. This was very good and easy to work with. I feel like I barely made a dent in the can. It does feel kind of chalky when it dries, but that's okay because I used a nice acrylic coat and will be using polyurethane once those layers are dry. I painted my first layer of new paint color about 2 hours after I'd used this. It was plenty dry enough. I only used one coat but feel it was enough. The price was good and it can be used on multiple surfaces.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ using this for many years
*by G***Y on July 30, 2026*

low price and great performance. highly recommend. the temptation for me with this product is to not apply top coat. dries quick. applies easily. helps keep water out. assists repairs. discourages bugs etc. I recommend this item.
