Should have trusted the tile paint
Needed to paint some mosaic tiles but was worried about just painting them with tile paint so thought I`d use this primer first, as it does say for use on tiles. Put 3 coats on as changing blue tiles to white . The blue still showed through but worst thing was I caught a tile with my fingernail and the paint scratched off. I thought maybe with the tile paint on top it would be better but no it still scratches off. Stuck with it now as I can`t afford to scrape it all off and start again. Very upset as it`s spoilt the job I was doing. Used Valspar paint many times but not this product before.

Does not do what it says on the tin
I have had the same issue as the other reviewers.. Surely we can't all be doing it wrong! I sanded and left to dry the recommended time, applied second coat, again left to dry the recommended time and painted, I was sold 2tins of this, what a waste of money. I applied the valspar wood and metal paint directly on to the melamine and THAT stayed on with no primer! I scratched my nail down it and not a shred came off, bizarre
