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.

Not one coat coverage

Would Not Recommend

I was told this could cover light beige in one coat no problem. I didn’t mind the cost for that reason. Now I have to pay for a second coat! I’m a teacher and am frustrated at the cost for the quality. I would have been better off with a cheaper paint.

Not a fan.

Would Not Recommend

I don’t know how they are allowed to put “one coat coverage. Guaranteed” on the can. Both the rooms I just painted, with two separate colors had to have two coats of paint. I used two buffet brushes and different roller types, didn’t matter. Better off buying the cheap paint in my opinion.

Great one coat coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried this during a BOGO event for a job we were doing. Fantastic! We normally use Duration, but this blew that away.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Painted the living room and front closet a number of years ago and found some marks on the wall (crayon, scuffing, gunk). A little scrubbing took everything off and the walls look much better. .

RESERVE is Durable Paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can truly vouch for Valspar RESERVE as being the #1 Best paint to stand up to your Toughest abuse! I moved into a rented home that had literally been boarded up for about a decade. It had unfinished concrete floors, covered in dried up mouse urine, mouse droppings, dead bugs, and dirt. I scrubbed the floors multiple times with bleach water, rinsed well, and dried well. I first painted the floors with primer, using a roller on my broom handle....

False advertisement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On Wednesday 6/13/24 I bought Valspar Reserve paint, it was put on the next day, it said One Coat, PLEASE STOP LYING TO THE customer because it takes more than one coat,change that to say it may take more than one coat, it's too expensive.
