I am painting my basement concrete floor with behr porch and floor paint. I was sold this to use as a primer. Is kilz okay for this job?

I love Behr products. However, if you are painting on a new surface (ie just removed wall paper or on porous surfaces), it is recommended to use primer first. Have been using Kilz products for over 25 years and it is probably the best on the market. As a rule, primer makes any paint adhere. Since you are painting on concrete, the concrete will absorb the primer and allow you to get close to perfect surface and color. Not to mention time saving, money saving, etc.

when I used it I added some water to thin it down some and it works great. yes it would be fine for that

Yes that's what I used it for. It's a very small can of interior paint. I used it to cover some repaired drywall.

HI JackYou can paint over this product because it does not have repellent properties.However, i recommend waiting for a couple of days after application to see if any white residue is expelled from the concrete.RegardsMikeStone Technologies Corp423-503-4490

my husband did not use a primer and it worked great! he was very pleased. it does go on more evenly if u do use a primer though.

If I'm reading this correctly, you're applying the hard gel on top of color gel, which you're not suppose to do. This is meant to be used as a base or a builder gel.. Not like a top coat. If you were applying it on foundation gel or base coat then that would be fine. The color runs because it isn't cured long enough but it's suppose to be capped off with top coat.

Yes, provided the concrete is porous enough for application. RadonSeal will not change the appearance or friction at the surface leaving it suitable for paints, adhesive, moisture sensitive flooring, etc. Often used by knowledgeable flooring contractors before installing carpeting, wood and bamboo flooring. While not common for basements and outdoor projects applying RadonSeal to a tight (or smooth) concrete surface is not recommended. Paint, overlays, epoxy, and adhesive will not adhere to a surface where RadonSeal was unable to properly absorb. If your concrete is smooth improve surface porosity by etching, grinding, blasting, or scarifying the surface. Yes, provided the concrete is porous enough for application.

I used it to seal my basement cement walls behind the insulation and sheet rock. After it dries I can see no reason why you would not be able to paint over it. I applied 2 coats and it works great.

yes. we used it for all those things. Even our kitchen cupboard door! The only thing you have to be aware of is that changing from different paint brands can affect the thickness it will spray on. so always be sure to test and practice each time you change color or brand. We used it in our entire house when we built last year. no problems. but some sherwin williams paints spray on thicker so we had to do a lot of sanding. obviously your primer will go on thinner. ect..

Yes; Because RadonSeal protects concrete against water vapor, efflorescence, and the "alakli attack" it is commonly used by flooring contractors as a concrete primer. RadonSeal is suitable for use before applying paints, adhesives, epoxy floor coatings, concrete overlays, surface levelers, membrane "wet-look" coatings and before the installation of moisture sensitive flooring.

You could deliver stain on your floor. The difficultly is darkness of the tone and the mist may be deliver unwanted surface. The system could not haldle cement based liquid, such as drydeck. I have ruined one before.

Yes, I use it on small rust spots all the time and there is no need to sand first. I just wipe off the excess; it hasn't ever affected the surrounding paint. It will leave a film that can be easily wiped off. It works great. No need to use primer, just paint right after it drys.

It really depends on what you intend to use it for. If it's for repainting a regular room ceiling in your house, which is already white, then you probably don't need to use a primer underneath it. However, if it's for a bathroom, and that bathroom is used by, say, two teenagers, each of whom take long hot showers (as in our case); and in which, despite religiously running a venting fan, the paint had been peeling off the ceiling, then yes - it's strongly recommended as a topcoat over a good primer such as Zinzer's own Bull's-Eye 123.

The primer is totally transparent in the skin, so you won't have a problem. It will blend in your skin.

The problem with most floor coatings is getting them to adhere over the long haul. I don't think stain would be a problem but the coating on top like clear coat and wax may be. When I apply it on other than a new floor I use a floor grinder to be sure and provide a keyed surface after filling all the cracks. This coating is very industrial - it is opaque grey - it is great in a garage but I am not sure I would use it in another room especially if it was stained already.

Absolutely! Thats ALL I have used it with. I did an indoor room & ceiling, 100% water based including primer like Kilz. No problems, easy clean in yard with hose refills, & final flush with Graco storage flush fluid.

I would get two. This stuff is very thick and goes fast. I did my basement floor and thought I had enough to do the whole thing, however I needed two full cans. When using, make sure you shake it up really really well. There is a sand grit to it which just sits on the bottom until you shake it. Then pour into a painters pan and spread around to make it even when you apply it.It works great, I love it and even outside it lasts. Best of luck.
