Ratings & Reviews for Valspar Reserve Semi-gloss Base Tintable Interior Paint Paint + Primer ( 1-quart )

Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a chance to try Valspar Reserve Interior Paint & Primer. It was nice and smooth, easy to apply, and the paint color looked really nice and was mixed well. I was very happy with the results. I also didn't need as many coats with it being paint and primer product in one.

Absolutely not one coat

Bought this today, painted and it is not one coat. Not enough left to do a second. We thought going the best route would be expensive paint that guarantees one coat coverage. We did all the steps properly like their website says and still you can easily see the primer shining through in the whole room. Usually they can’t get the exact same color tint either as the first gal so looks like we will have to buy a whole different brand and start over. Highly upset with this experience and we won’t be...

Thick!

A thick paint that dries quickly making it difficult to get uniform coverage using a brush. A roller might be better but hard to use on the interior of cabinets.

Overpriced and Low Qualit

I followed every instruction, hoping that this paint would cover in a single coat as advertised. It definitely needs multiple coats. I was super unhappy with the coverage, color, and sheen. Considering the premium you pay for this paint, it is quite low quality. If you have any sheen, it may become too shiny when you are forced to do a second coat.

Poor quality paint

It says one coat plus primer but I'm on my fifth coat and it's still not covering, clearly it's not a one coat paint. I'm guessing that we're going to be at eight coats and a second gallon of this garbage paint has proper coverage. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.

True Colors..!!

Excellent coverage, great color and finish, definitely I'll buy it again!!

Great Features!

Amazing product, like the texture and how easy it is to apply.

Bright white...not 1 coat

I bought this a week ago and used it on some walls that I already did 2 coats of white primer on. Spent the extra money so I would only need a single coat. It couldn't cover in a single coat so I wasted that extra money.

One coverage guarate-Not

Nice paint, nice color. Easy to work with and finished product looks nice. Bought it to cover two different colors and bought specifically for the one coat coverage guaranteed which is right on front. I've made the mistake of buying cheaper paint in the past so I figured I'd spend the money this time. Unfortunately it required two coats on both colors...one light yellow, one red. The red I could maybe see but the yellow should have covered. I would have bought cheaper paint and done two coat...

great color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this paint, bought it and used it in my laundry room, went on smooth easy to apply, and had no issues with it yet. i would buy this again when i need more painting done,

Beautiful Paint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Reserve® Interior Paint + Primer has wonderful coverage. No need for coats of primer and multiple coats of paint to cover. I used this in a dining room with navy walls and various marks and putty filled nail holes. It went on smoothly and covered like a dream. Now my dining room is light and cheery in day. I highly recommend for DIY projects and painting.

Not Pleased

I bought this expensive paint in an effort to save time for a weekend paint job; a small bedroom. The original walls were off white and I was painting them a different white and still had to do two coats. I could have gotten the cheaper Valspar 2000 if I was going to have to do 2 coats anyway. Also, the flat paint still has a sheen. It's not flat. Not pleased.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this paint a couple of months ago. Pretty amazing color choices and amazing quality!

no extra primer needed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to apply, perfect for a beginner!. The color was also really pretty and I'm really happy I was able to paint my living room a new color and not have to worry about priming it separately!

TOOK 3 COATS!

I bought this because it said one coat and that was a lie. I painted pre-primed wooden doors and one coat definitely wasn’t enough see picture of the one coat. Took 3 coats to look nice. This paint is way too expensive for me having to paint 3 coats. Very disappointed.

Used it in the basement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this one in our basement as well and the other half of the bare drywall after we remodeled it. I felt like it had a good coverage and I didn’t have to go over Everything again only certain spots. Overall I was pleased with it and I got the job done well. We just picked basic white and used it as a primer.
