Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus is a high-performance water-based primer that delivers the strength of a solvent-based coating with the convenience of a fast-drying, low-odour formula. Engineered for professional and commercial use, it provides exceptional adhesion, stain blocking and durability on both interior and exterior surfaces.
Designed to bond to glossy, difficult surfaces without sanding, this primer is ideal for wood, metal, plaster, PVC, ceramic tiles and more. Its high-hiding formula effectively blocks water stains, tannin bleed and smoke damage, ensuring a flawless base for topcoats.
Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus is also mould and mildew resistant, making it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens and high-humidity areas. The built-in biocide helps prevent fungal degradation, extending the life of your paintwork.
