"The HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams Premium All-Purpose Primer is truly a behind-the-scenes hero."

"Adhesion is where this product really shines. It grips to a wide variety of surfaces—drywall wood metal even lightly glossy finishes—without peeling or flaking. I didn’t need to do excessive sanding or prep work which saved a lot of time and effort.When it comes to coverage this primer performs beautifully. It creates a smooth even base that hides imperfections and blocks out previous colors surprisingly well even darker shades. One coat was enough in most areas which helped stretch the product further.The drying time is also impressive."
