Using Kilz Original Primer Outside?

August 28, 2011

I have a gallon of Kilz Original oil-base primer. Can I use it as a primer on a small new construction outside? The primer would be covered by an acrylic exterior paint. Would the paint adhere to the primer and would the wood be protected?

Painting over a stained fiberglass door.
