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.

Excellent can design, for a well established paint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new paint can design is great! It’s attractive, shiny, and the pour system is excellent. You no longer have to worry about paint drying in the rim of the can. Coverage, sanding, consistency, texture.

Great new pour spout

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Incentivized I was given this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I was a painter for some years like 15 years ago. I learned a lot and I'm a really good painter which definitely came in handy over the last 15 plus years after leaving the company. I love this pour spout it makes painting much easier and when dumping paint into the pan it makes it much less messy. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. The new packaging ...

Love the design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging itself is nice, but the only thing I didn't like is the paper around the logo. It’s not fully secured which can be annoying, but also not a big deal. The lid design is absolutely great! There is nothing more annoying than the mess after dumping some paint and all the edges get messed up. The insert to neatly pour the paint into a container is absolutely amazing and it helps a LOT with precision. I can't wait to use it!

Coverage

No rust packaging

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the updated packaging for this Valspar paint. The container is plastic not metal. I can’t say how many times I’ve opened old paint for touch up and little rust flakes break off into the paint. That won’t happen with plastic! I don’t need a hammer to close the container since it’s plastic. It clicks closed. I appreciate the pour spout which lessens the likelihood of spills and messes. The detachable spout also has grooves to open and clos...

5/5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar Reserve Interior Paint delivers excellent one coat coverage with a smooth, eggshell finish. The color looks rich and consistent, with great hide and durability. Low odor and easy application make it ideal for interior spaces, while the finish resists scuffs and stays fresh over time.

Great quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just have to say how impressed I am with Valspar Reserve’s new packaging! The plastic container feels sturdy and easy to handle, and the pour spout makes pouring so much cleaner—no more drips or mess. I also love that the instructions are conveniently placed right on the top of the lid; it made opening the can a breeze. Painting my door was so much smoother thanks to these little design touches, and I genuinely appreciate the thoughtfulness t...

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this paint as soon as it came on the market and have continued to buy and use in my house of over 100 years of age. It covers and makes the house look like a show place that it is.

Not worth the price, time

Would Not Recommend

I don’t know how they can state 1 cost coverage. I followed all their directions. Walks weren’t even close to the measured amount. Much smaller. Temps good. Walls clean and dry. Used appropriate equipment. Still require 2 and in some areas 3 coats. Had I known I’d have used a cheaper paint. Might as well for the same expense, cost and time of applying this brand. Could have spent less on 3 coats if a different brand. Unbelievable !!! Not at all satisfied or happy !!
