I've been using Kilz for years, too; and I'm also a painter. It works
fine, especially for filling grain on wood that's to be painted. Put it
on, sand it down, repeat.

Everybody has his favorite product. I just tried some white-pigmented
shellac as a primer/sealer as recommended by lots of woodworkers. I
found it _must_ be sprayed to get a smooth coat. I prefer to brush. Oh
well.

Lots of painters swear by oil-based paint, but I find the high quality
water-based products do just as good a job most of the time, and the
cleanup is in the kitchen sink. Preparation is very important.

Oil Primer, latex top coats is best.

And 75% of the job sometimes. And if you don't do the 75 the 25 comes out
like shit.

This HUD Wreck I'm doing the outside on now has siding that has not been
painted in a loooong time. 3/4 of it has to be scraped and wire brushed.
That's done. Now priming...with tinted Kilz-2. Then paint.
