Hello:

Will be repainting over an upper part of a shower stall.

Not sure if latex or oil on it now.

Is the Kilz product the "best" to use as an intermediary between what's
on there now, and my new paint job ?

Not sure yet what type of paint I'll be using.

Or, is there a better "primer" type of product available ?

Thanks,
B.

I think Kilz is a great choice..make sure it is the oil one though.
They do make latex, not sure what name is on the can thoughg.

I agree that Kilz is the leadership product. Their reputation has been
earned on the oil based product so check the cans carefully before you
buy. The latex formula still has the Kilz name on it.

Kilz II Latex is an excellent all around product
as an undercoat. If you want to see how well it
sticks, spill a bit on your arm or hand while
stirring the paint and then try to get it off. If
you smear it and it dries on your oily skin you
have to use soap and a lot of scrubbing to get it
off. If stain blocking is the main purpose, then
select the oil product. Look at a gallon can and
it will show product versus application. I
believe there are 3 oil types and 3 latex types.

For top coats, oil can go over latex but latex cannot go over oil. So
use a primer if you want, but an oil based paint will go over what is
there without a primer. And being in a shower area, I'd use oil based
anyway.
