What Customers Are Saying

The Valspar Reserve Interior Paint & Primer received mixed reviews. Many customers praised its great coverage, smooth application, and wide color selection, finding it easy to use and satisfactory. However, a significant number reported issues with the paint's coverage, requiring multiple coats even when painting over light colors. Some described the paint as thin, runny, and difficult to work with, leading to uneven application and poor results. Several customers were disappointed that the "one-coat coverage" claim was inaccurate in their experience. The negative experiences seem to outweigh the positive, suggesting inconsistent quality and performance.

Valspar interior paint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These white mixing paints are so wonderful. When rolled into your wall mixed with the main color it brightens up the mixture. not only does it brighten it up but it rolls out so smooth onto your wall. it does take up to a day or so to dry to be sure of like any wall paints. there is si cracking to this paint it’s very smooth.

Not sold on this level of paint

Would Not Recommend

I did the most beautiful color Stillwater by Sherwin Williams. I am not sold on the Reserve paint though. It is not one coat. I used it in the past and had the same experience. When I reached out to customer service, they recommended I use a grey primer under the paint. This did help for my remaining walls, but if I have to purchase another gallon of primer to make it one coat, it isn't technically one coat. Also the odor of this one is quite unpleasant. I will go back to the Signature le...

Upgraded packaging

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so impressed with the new packaging of this paint, the pour spout is so convenient and mess free! It was a breeze for the small amounts I was using at once.

No mess painting!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was great for both a small and large project we had. My husband loved the fact he could easily pour for the small project into a small paint cup to do the project, no mess, no drip and he just rinsed the removable funnel off when done. He said it was also good for poring into his paint pan- he could put smaller amounts in with sour the worry of drips down the side of the can or in the rim that allow it to not shut properly. He said he’ll s...

Easy and Convenient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always disliked opening paint cans. You have to pry them open and don't even get me started in closing after paint has spilled into the cracks. I have sprayed myself with paint when closing too many times. This is a game changer It's easy to open, the spout is also the key to opening the can. Pouring was tricky at first. I spilled some on the can itself, but once I got use to it, it was smooth sailing. Easy to close, just make sure you...

I really liked this paint + primer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got this product I was scared that the packaging was always going to be leaking and that it wasn’t secure… but then the first time I opened it and used it. Not only was the product amazing but the packaging is actually really stable. I think the box must of gotten banged up a lot but the paint can has a twist top and latches keeping it down. Once you put the top on right it’s not going anywhere. I used the paint + primer for a coup...

Easy to Pour

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Valspar Reserve paint can us an excellent way to pour paint! I love the spout which helps keep the paint from spilling everywhere and making a mess. I think this is a great adjustment to traditional paint cans.

Wouldn’t purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I know the review for this specific paint is primarily about the new design / lid, I did want to point out that the main reason I gave this a three out of five is heavily due to the fact that this paint requires at least two layers of coats. In addition to that, the paint was extremely chunky and was very hard to mix the contents that separated. That being said, I think the new design of the lid could have a correlation as to why the pain...

Nice paint + primer

Great brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar has been a nice quality paint that has been around for a while now. I heard the reserve is even better. It is an eggshell color. Which is perfect because that is the exact meh color I have on my walls at home. I am assuming this is a flat color so it is very basic. Now when spreading this onto the wall it just goes on smooth as butter just flawlessly and seamlessly. Now to get perfect coating you have to invest in good paint brushes and...

Love the plastic containers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We always use valspar paint, it seems to consistent and always goes on smoothly! We really like the plastic containers with the pour spout. I think they will last longer as the metal ones rust and become impossible to open and use again. Valspar always seems to cover in one coat and sometimes need a second coat but not always.

LOVE Valspar Paint!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE Valspar paint. It is high quality, the texture and consistency is always great and doesn’t clump, and always provides a beautiful finish. The primer dries quickly and provides a great base, and the paint itself goes on easily, doesn’t require multiple and multiple coats, as well as also dries fairly quickly. I absolutely recommend Valspar; it’s always delivers on its promises! (Don’t forget to save a bit for touch-ups - the cans are gre...
