WHAT A GREAT PRODUCT!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had an addition added on to the house, I had to repaint because of the addition, I used the Valspar Duramax with primer. What a difference it made using a product that has a built in primer. I have always used primer separately in the past but NEVER again! I can't say enough about how well this product performed!

Applied well

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wanting to paint the exterior of our home since we moved in last year. So I went with valspar as it’s our go to brand. As always, I’m happy with it. We chose a week where there were several sunny days in a row to start painting. It applied smoothly and easily, giving great coverage. It dried fairly quickly as well. So far there hasn’t been any issues. No peeling, cracking, or anything like that. We live in Tennessee and get every weat...

Great Vhoice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paint is so smooth it is easier than frosting a cake. It dries evenly without blemishes like some cheaper paints do. They get frothy at the end of the day. I can paint like a pro now. The color was spot-on . It dries to the exact color I ask for. Gray shades, exact is important. To much this or too little that and you get green tints that should be purple tones. To me this is the most important thing. If you have a perfectly pai...

Smooth Easy Application

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Valspar paint for the first time ever and was very satisfied. I purchased a can of white satin finish Duramax Exterior paint + primer. The paint went on smoothly and covered well. I used a cheap bristle brush but still got a very nice smooth finish. The paint was applied on a hot humid day and the paint was very brushable and still dried to the touch in 15 minutes. The paint is also odorless which is very nice. I'm very happy with the ...

Worked Great!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try the Valspar® Duramax® Exterior Paint & Primer and I knew exactly what I would use it for. I have a small pontoon boat that I either needed to put a new deck on or paint it. The Valspar® Duramax® Exterior Paint & Primer was very easy to use and I love that it is a primer and paint in one. I would definitely recommend buying this product.

Great features

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Valspar Duramax Exterior Paint & Primer to paint the trim and siding on my garage. I love that this is a 2 in 1 product because I don't like having to do the extra prep of priming before painting. I am very happy with the results so far. The paint went on smooth and even, and it looked good even with only doing one coat. It is summer now, and the paint has held up well so far, but I am really curious how well it will hold up once it ...

Great coverage

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use on exterior wood framing (old wood that had been power washed) to paint from dark brown to white. Excellent coverage! Live close to the lake front which gets weather battered regularly. No peeling issues so far and clean up was really easy (water soluble). Will be getting another gallon to do the garage door and frame.

Great exterior paint!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being new homeowners we loved the house but hate the paint colors. We knew our chipping faded door trims would be the first project we tackled. Once we had prepped the trim we were ready to paint. I am happy to see that it is a nice thick paint and gave a great thorough first coat. I probably could have used just one coat, but since it is a high traffic area I wanted to be sure that it would last through carrying things through the door and acc...
