Love this paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar Duramax Exterior Paint & Primer is a great product. It has great coverage and is easy to apply. I love that I was saved the step of adding primer, first. I found the perfect brand, and shade of paint to make my patio pop, and look amazing. The color is absolutely beautiful and is ready to withhold the winter months. I highly recommend this brand.

Best Exterior Paint!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar is my favorite paint brand and the Valspar Duramax Exterior Paint and Primer is one of the best exterior paints I've used so far. I love that it is a paint and primer both saving me the added step of priming first. It is thicker than other paints I've used and the coverage is excellent. I used a combination of a brush and roller and was pleased with both. It sealed small cracks and has hidden them and is holding up to the back and forth...

Great paint for trim!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got a nice bright white color for painting older wooden trim on a shed. Coverage was thick and easy (a little extra brushwork required because the wood was aged), but was able to spread into cracks, nail holes, etc. without need for a separate primer. Big timesaver and it looks so much better!

The best coverage!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this paint. I needed to paint the trim on my house and I'm so happy with this product. After cleaning the trim I stirred the paint well and went to work. It goes on so smooth and even fills in small cracks with no problem. I waited 4 hours to let it dry and apply another coat. It looks amazing, I wish i had done it sooner. It really refreshed the look of my home. I even had some leftover so I painted a small brick wall, went o...

Primer is Built In!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got the Valspar Duramax Exterior Paint with Primer because my husband is a big believer in primer and I'm not. I grew up where you did two coats and the first one was considered the primer. My husband was raised to always use primer so this was a wonderful compromise! For the most part, this covered in one coat but there were a few areas we went back over. Liked that it went on thick and loved that the brushes cleaned up easily with soap and...

The ONLY Exterior Paint!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found that the Valspar Duramax Exterior Paint and Primer is honestly the only exterior paint I will ever buy. Goes on with ease and adds the perfect color to any exterior project you have. This is a very durable paint with primer already mixed in so there’s no need to spend extra for that separate can of primer.

Nice Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Valspar® Duramax® Exterior Paint & Primer. I had the product tinted in Boughs of Pine for our outdoor shed. After cleaning and doing some rough sanding on the exterior of the shed, I was ready to start painting. What I like about the product is that the first coat acts as a primer. I let the first coat dry a couple of hours before applying the second final coat, which acts as the paint. The paint spread evenly using various br...

Impressive!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was legitimately impressed with the hide in one coat this paint provides. I have a shed that sits under a heavy canopy of pines and tends to have algae growth on the lower quarter panel. Duramax brushed on easily in a thick coat, covered and sealed in one pass. Paint dries quickly and delivers as promised!
