KilzLow-Lustre Enamel Porch & Patio Latex Floor Paint, Interior/Exterior, Slate Gray, 1 Gallon

Purchased KILZ to paint my deck. I've tried several stain/paint products over the years and hired a professional one year. All came with disappointing results. That brought me to KILZ. I'm impressed. Easy application, smooth, doesn't run, excellent coverage, blended nicely with problem areas to give a uniform appearance. The color is true to the picture. Good $ value. If this paint holds up to the New England weather, it will be my exclusive deck paint in the future. Only time will tell but so far, so (very) good.

Hats off to the KILZ chemists on this product. I applied it on both previously stained/painted concrete and wood deck with ease. It is very user friendly being a waterborne acrylic. Application is buttery smooth yet sticky with either a brush or a roller. One coat almost does the trick,but I suggest 2 coats for perfection. Dries very fast and virtually odourless. I suspect it will prove to be a durable paint in future.

Pros: this is a typical, modern, high-tech paint which ticks off all the check boxes:- Does not drip or run from the brush during application- Lays on silky smooth- Easy to go back over spots to cover up brush strokes while wet, and the new paint blends in well without streaking- Hides dark paint exceptionally well- Is self leveling and shrinks slightly when dry, which helps to hide brush strokes- Dries to the touch quickly, well within an hour- Lays on a nice, satin sheen which is not slippery when wet, so a good choice for outside stairs- Brushes clean up like new with soap and waterCon:- The silver gray is more like off white! When I opened the can I thought the paint wasn't mixed well but mixing did not change the color. If you have white railings you are best off with the darker grey color to provide some contrast. Only reason I kept the silver gray was rain was due in two days and I had to paint an outside repair with bare lumber, but at least the color is cool when the sun beats down.I used this Kilz paint to cover dark, rust red stairs and it hid the color with one coat! I did put on one rather heavy coat. When you first apply the paint it seems to cover extraordinarily well, then it gets a bit transparent as it dries, but when fully dried the old paint was effectively hidden with a solid, matte finish. To cover nail head holes and cracks just apply a bit more paint to the edge of the brush, then go back and dab those areas while the paint is setting. The paint does shrink when dry so you may have to dab up those areas again, but it's good that the paint shrinks in place to seal well and does not lay on too thick.This is my first experience with Kilz paint. Problem with buying paint at Home Depot or Lowes is the bewildering variety but you have to dig through the web to find reviews. By buying on Amazon it's easy to find paint with a high number of good reviews, and the free freight doesn't hurt either.

Easy to apply with good coverage

Nice color and covers well.
