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.

Small changes that make a noticeable difference in

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Valspar Reserve packaging feels like a smart and user-friendly update. The built-in pour spout makes dispensing cleaner and more controlled, helping reduce mess and drips. The opening instructions printed on the top of the lid are also a great touch, making it simple to open without confusion or extra tools. Overall, the new packaging feels practical, intuitive, and designed with convenience in mind.

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!

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...

Quality Paint

Would Recommend

From the stroke of the brush you know you are using a high quality finish. Covers well and the longer than average work time all but eliminates flashing when product is applied properly. Excellent paint yielding beautiful results.

Paint failed to cure to wall

Would Not Recommend

Paint failed to cure to walls after a full week of curing. After 1 week I taped the edge to edge of the wall to paint the ceiling. When I thought I was done, I removed the tape and massive chunks were stuck to the back of the tape. Now I need to do touch up with this clearly inferior product.
