About KILZ
KILZ makes primers and sealers that block stains and odours from bleeding through paint, a specialised product that is the standard recommendation for painting over water damage or smoke. Masco sells it alongside Behr. Ordinary paint will not cover such stains because the residue dissolves into the wet film and reappears as it dries.
