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.

2 Coats and covers great.

OUTSTANDING!!!! Great covering. For those saying they needed 3 coats then you need to learn how to PREP before you paint. I have NEVER found a single paint that doesn't need 2 coats, for proper coverage 2 coats. Washing walling patching holes, sanding where needed proper brushes and rollers 2 coats is all I have ever used. Yes many paints say "One Coat" so if you have to buy an extra gallon go back to the store and get a refund then buy another gallon, I have never had to to do that because I ...

Horrible coverage

Not close to 1 coat coverage. 3 minimum over very light colored walls and still looks terrible!

Wow!

Would Not Recommend

I went to Lowes planning to buy Sherwin Williams to paint my toddlers new bedroom before baby #2 arrives. The Lowes rep told me the Sherwin Williams rep had just visited that day and told him the paints are the exactly same and there’s zero difference. I really found this hard to believe but after a lot of convincing I tried the reserve. The “one cost guarantee” on the can is not true, it needs two for sure. But the most disappointing thing is the smell… After 7 days, lots of headaches, windows ...

Love This Paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a paint for my entire house that would withstand cleaning. I have children and 2 dogs in the house and the walls seem to always have little handprints on them. This paint is amazing and I have had no issues cleaning it. I also love how easy clean up is after I finished painting. Simple soap and water.

Great one coat coverage!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love Valspar paints. I recently decided to try the Reserve. And it did not disappoint. I was attempting to cover a rather dark blue with a significantly lighter color. And the result was amazing. You can not go wrong with Valspar.

Don’t buy this paint

Worst paint ever purchased. We had to apply 3 coats over light colored walls because it looked like we didn’t use much paint. Now the paint is wrinkling in different areas of the walls. We would like our money back!

Good enough paint, but definitely not one-coat coverage guarantee. Will not be buying this again but instead go with the 'lower' quality pain.

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....

Horrible Garbage Paint

Would Not Recommend

Do not waste your time, money or effort with this paint. It is literally the consistency of water. I have painted thousands of walls over the years and used a variety of paint brands and this is by far the absolute worst. Thankfully Lowes let me return it and swap it for Sherwin Williams paint.

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.
