Primer for interior and exterior surfaces
Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer in Gray is a water-based, styrenated acrylic copolymer coating designed for interior and exterior use. It adheres to concrete, masonry, metal, plastic, PVC, steel, stucco and wood. The satin sheen finish provides a uniform base for topcoats. One quart covers approximately 400 to 450 square feet per gallon.
Replaces separate primers for different substrates
This single formulation replaces the need for multiple specialty primers across varied surfaces such as bare wood, metal, masonry and plastic. The jump is worth it when a project involves mixed substrates and a fast recoat window is required. It dries tack-free in 30 minutes and accepts a topcoat in 1 hour. Application is possible by brush, roller or spray.
Suits painters needing one primer for mixed
This product suits professionals and DIYers who want a single gray primer for diverse interior and exterior substrates with quick turnaround. Buyers who need a specific stain-blocking formulation for severe water or smoke damage should look at dedicated stain blockers. Those requiring a larger volume than 1 qt will need multiple units or a different container size.
