What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional one-coat coverage and smooth application, with most noting it hides existing colors effectively and delivers professional results with minimal paint needed. The vibrant, true-to-sample color selection receives consistent acclaim, with many reporting homes look refreshed and maintain brightness for years. Durability stands out, as reviewers affirm the finish resists chipping and stays fresh through multiple seasons. Some report fade within two years or adhesion issues on specific surfaces like masonite, and a few note it cannot be thinned for spraying.

very dissappointed

Would Not Recommend

Used this paint for a while then when they added the low temp feature the paint and my spray gun option went straight down the drain. Coverage before was great even with bright colors now not the same. As much as I used to like the product now i'm switching to a new paint.

Outstanding product!

Would Recommend

Used this to paint my house. It covers all defects and adds a protective layer from elements. So happy with the paint!! It is a little more expensive, but worth it.

Great on entrance/deck

Would Recommend

We used this on our front deck/entrance and it has taken a lot of foot traffic, cold, heat and bad weather and has cleaned quite easitly. The color is still good and the paint has held well.

Bench

Would Recommend

Used Duramax Exterior paint for my front porch bench. Paint went on smooth and looks great. It has not changed color or faded for 2 years. The last paint I used faded in 6 months. It looks like the day I painted it. Love it. Will never use another paint. Thanks

My House Looks Awesome!

Would Recommend

Awesome is just what I see when I look at my freshly painted house. I choose Valspar Duramax because of the great experience I have had with it while painting. The colors are stunning as well as durable. I painted my front door first to see how the paint covered and stood up to family torture and to my surprise it's tuff. Then I decided to paint the shutters as well as the wood siding. My neighbors complement me on the colors and love the way my home fits in with the rest of the neighborhood. Ye...

Exterior paint job

Would Recommend

We got this paint to improve the appearance of the exterior Of our home. We painted the entire home with a brush and the product went on very well. We only had to do one coat with minor touch ups. For the interior of our home we used a competitors brand and I wasn't happy with it at all. I'm Glad we went with valspar for this project.

Did NOT hold up!

Would Not Recommend

Put this paint on the exterior trim of our house. The product states "won't crack or peel". After only 3 years of the paint being on, it's peeling off in sheets. This took us days to do ourselves and now we are going to have to find a way to remove the peeling paint, prep again and be sure not to take the paint off of the main parts of the house to redo the trim.

Not for spraying

Would Not Recommend

Bought this to spray with but it can't be thinned. If it can't be thinned it should be clearly labeled on the front of the can. I'm half way tempted to take this back.

Simply the best

Would Recommend

I painted my exterior last Fall, and tried several brand samples.... The Valspar Duramax covers better, and is more forgiving than any other I tried so far.... It has held up outstandingly so far, with no fade and I couldn't be happier... Cannot go wrong here.... And if Valspars other paints are anywhere near as good as the Duramax, they definitely know paint better than anyone
