Ratings & Reviews for Valspar Reserve Eggshell Base Tintable Interior Paint Paint + Primer ( 1-gallon )

Good coverage, 2 coats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good overall coverage but requires at least 2 coats. Lighter on darker would need 3 more than likely.

Beautiful colors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been able to order valspar color swatches free, and able to land on just the right tone and finish. The colors are all beautiful!

Great coverage!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my son's room. Looks great and covered a darker color well with one coat.

One Coat

Valspar is my favorite brand of paint to use. This was nice and thick. Although one coat would have done the trick for my accent wall, I used two as I usually do.

I HATE painting and have painted a bit in many of the places I have lived. I've used all the "best" paints out there. Well, I thought I had, until I used Valspar. This paint is AMAZING! I don't usually review a product, but this one is well well deserved. If I could rate it a 10 star, I would. Coverage, application, drying and end results were so good that it made my job very easy. Thank you for a great product.

Very little coverage

This is supposed to be a one coat paint. Had to use at least 2 coats and in some areas 3. Was painting over a light colored paint that should not have been a problem. Each gallon is supposed to cover 400sq/ft. Had to buy a second gallon for a 144sq/ft room. The second can was 2 shades darker than the first. Total waste of my time and money. Will never buy again.

Perfect hue

This is the third time I painted my accent wall, the colors were too red or too orange, this color is perfect.

Not great

The color itself is great. But it's supposed to cover in 1 coat. Not only did it not cover a bright color in 1 coat as I figured it would need 2 coats. I had to use FOUR coats of paint. I was covering pink, teal blue and a purple. They were not dark colors but vibrant. I figured I'd have to do 2 coats even though it says it will cover in 1. FOUR coats is a little ridiculous considering I went with the most expansive paint.

One or the other...

You might be able to get 400 sq. ft., you might be able to get one coat coverage, but you won't be able to get both at the same time. Guarantee on can says one coat coverage; the can also indicates up to 400 sq.ft. per gallon. That would leave one to believe, in theory, you should be able to paint four 12.5 x 12.5 x 8 foot walls and achieve satisfactory one coat coverage with one can. The net sq. footage of the room I had to paint was less than 270, the walls were already primed, and yet it was...

Favorite Paint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my go to paint. So easy to apply and the coverage is great! I also love that it cleans up nicely with soap and water. I am always happy with the results

Terrible Coverage

We recently bought a house and chose Valspar paint throughout. We used "Indigo Streamer" to cover a light yellow room. We're three coats in and can still see through in places. Furthermore, we began seeing horrible roller marks after the second coat that didn't improve with the third. We let the coats dry for a full 24 hours to ensure it wasn't a matter of wet versus dry paint but it didn't help. I have no idea how we're going to fix it.

Sorry pant

i have used 2 gallon on a bathroom 10x12 and i will have to buy 2 more it seems to cover the walls . this is not panint it is water with white tint

Fantastic

I was pleasantly surprised with this paint, it was extremely thick like a pudding. It went on the wall smooth and with one coat.

Beautiful Paint!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this paint. Easy to paint on and quick dry. We always use Valspar inside and out.

Scuff Marks all over

Color is great, coverage was okay but definitely was not one coat coverage. The slightest touch to paint leaves a mark. This is going in a kids room so there will be plenty of hands on the wall. Good news is the marks will wipe off, but then it leaves a wipe spot on the wall. Going to try a different roller for the 3rd coat in hopes the marks stop showing up. Never had this issue with any paint before

Great product and good pickup experience

This paint went on thick and absorbed well into the walls for the most part. Not always a one coat but then again I don’t think any paint is. There are going to be some spots you will need to go over twice or more. Still better than the other cheaper stuff out there.
