Not just regular Kilz, but their Acrylic Enamel Interior paint? This stuff just totally sucks ass! It's too thick, the lid design is terrible as when you shake it up, the lid collects paint and drips everywhere. The paint itself gets just TONS of those little dried paint pieces in it so when you roll it you have to constantly pick them off your project, you know the little parts of paint that dry and feel like vinyl or something and are just sitting in the paint. I'll never buy this crap again.

Ditto,,,I like the primer but the paint sucks and will never use it again. I actually use Restoration Hardware paint and it covers like I'm a master painter ( which I am not ) and the walls don't get that see thru look nor does it leave lines,,,,just a good solid color of paint that looks like it was Wagner painted, only better!

I always used Behr or Sears until I discovered Dun Edwards. Awesome paint. The secret is to give them you AAA card for a huge discount.

I got high on the primer in college...:squinteye

Not like you think!!!:angel: I was painting the prayer rooms at the BSM and I forgot that Samll room, plus no AC, plus accidentally leaving the door closed = lots of fumes. I had to lay down for a few minutes.

Bummer Wade, there are some great additives for thick paint that allow then to spread more evenly. Even with good paint, a cap full of Flotrol is awesome. And for oil, you would be amazed at the difference.
