What Customers Are Saying

The Valspar Reserve Interior Paint & Primer offers a wide color selection and is praised for its great coverage, smooth application, and durability. Many customers found it easy to apply with quick drying time and able to cover dark colors well. However, some customers reported issues with the paint requiring two or more coats to achieve full coverage, even over light-colored walls. The paint was also described as being too thick and difficult to apply evenly by a few customers. Overall, the paint is considered a quality product, but the one-coat coverage claims may not always hold true, especially for darker colors or significant color changes.

Horrible Stuff

Would Not Recommend

This is the worst paint I have ever used in my life. It has great 1 coat coverage but it literally will peel off the walls! Tape off your door frames and baseboards; when you remove the tape, the paint comes with it! The worst $100 I’ve ever spent in 2 gallons of paint!! NEVER AGAIN!!

Great coverage and colors

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that Valspar has so many great colors and superb coverage. Two coats and done. Sunday Sky is beautiful and serene. More importantly it made my blue-green "marine blue" stained cabinets coordinate with my fantasy marble "gray with purple tones" (that do not match at all) somehow the magic of this color makes them coordinate flawlessly. Photos to come.

I'm painting my master bedroom 14x16 and it's taking me 5 gallons because this is not a one coat coverage extremely poor quality, I love the signature series and I usually always use that but now I don't even know if I will continue with Valspar because of the money I've wasted on 1 ROOM.. the wife chise RESERVE expecting too quality, im into residential remodeling and have painted 1000s of rooms but the WIFEY.... but it's not her fault wanting the best product....

Beautiful!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This particular paint type is one of the best choices I have made. The coverage of this paint on the wall that had been painted wrong was corrected and it looked soo beautiful. I was completely excited about the turn out of the whole house. Going forward- will only purchase this brand for any and all of my upcoming projects.

Not one coat paint

I have applied two coats of paint and still need about 2-3 more coats. “One coat guaranteed” Is false advertisement.

Great color and quality

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just recently bought paint for a new home. I love the color options that valspar has, by far more then other products. My only complaint is that there is a one coat guarantee and it took 2 coats to paint everything. I do not mind if I need 2 coats, but I just wish I wasn't expecting it to be done with just one.

Best Interior Wall Paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hands down, the best interior paint. I have done home improvements for years & I’ve used it all; this is the paint I always recommend to all my customers. Goes on good, covers good & the stain blocking & clean up is unbelievable!

Not Semigloss, Poor Cvrg

Signature. Good color. Poor coverage, no sheen. We specifically wanted semigloss. What we ended up with is not smooth, no sheen. When my husband bumped the flat paint ceiling there should be a noticeable shiny spot, comparatively. None. If this means we have to do multiple coats, then they lied to us. We are applying over quality primer. Will come back and update when the project is completed.

Good coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this for our ceiling and walls as the base white color. We liked it so much, that we decided to buy it for the actual wall color too!

The perfect paint!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Reserve did an amazing job of not only covering marks with one coat, but it also went a long way! We saved money using Valspar paint rather than a different brand.
