KILZ Stainblocking Ceiling Paint, Interior White, 1 Gallon | Color-Change, Quick Dry

Overview

KILZ Stainblocking Ceiling Paint blends stain blocking with a smart coverage and drying time indicator, crafted for interior ceilings. The color-changing formula starts as a subtle pink during application and dries to white in under an hour, helping you monitor coverage while you work.

Designed to brighten ceilings and tackle minor to moderate staining or color changes, this low-odor formula is suited for most rooms. Spatter resistance and easy cleanup with soap and water make it a convenient choice for everyday projects, while you maintain a clean and calm workspace.

How it works and what to expect

The pink tint provides a visual cue for even spreading and coverage, then transitions to a pristine white as the finish cures. You can expect a touch-dry surface in about 1 hour and a recoat window of roughly 2 hours, depending on conditions. The product covers approximately 250 square feet per gallon on porous surfaces and up to 400 square feet per gallon on smooth, non-porous surfaces, with multiple coats potentially needed for full hide.
