The following steps are recommended for product performance.
All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease, wax, polish, mold and mildew, loose peeling paint, rust and all other foreign substances.
If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or a TSP substitute, rinse well and allow to dry.
†
Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly before priming.*
Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface.*
Mold or Mildew Covered Surfaces: Wash the area with a mildew remover, rinse with water and allow to dry before priming.
Masonry, Brick, Stucco and Plaster: KILZ ORIGINAL Primer may be used on clean, dry, aged masonry surfaces that have cured (dried) at least 90 days. If masonry has cured less than 90 days, use KILZ® PREMIUM, KILZ 2® or KILZ ORIGINAL LOW ODOR® Primers.
