What Customers Are Saying

This primer appears to offer good coverage and hiding power, allowing users to achieve satisfactory results with fewer coats of paint. Many reviewers noted it effectively concealed dark or bold colors with just one or two applications. The primer is described as easy to apply, with a smooth, rich consistency that spreads well. However, a minority of users reported issues with requiring multiple coats or poor adhesion, and some experienced streaking or bubbling when applying the top coat. Overall, the primer seems to provide excellent value, but results may vary depending on the specific painting conditions.

Thin and watery

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this product to cover a dark blue "accent" wall from a previous owner. While it covered the blue it was watery and dripped everywhere when trying to work with it. This is my second bad experience with the Valspar brand (the trim paint I purchased was just as bad) and I will go back to Behr paint going forward. It is so much better than Valspar.

Very Good Primer/Sealer

Would Recommend

You have to spend a LOT more money to get a better primer/sealer. This stuff is a steal. Two coats and it will cover anything.

Would Recommend

The "Modern Grey" light grey color turned out perfect for my kitchen and bathroom. No primer necessary when covering previous light tan wall color.
