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 Reserve Interior

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this paint as soon as it came on the market and have continued to buy and use in my house of over 100 years of age. It covers and makes the house look like a show place that it is.

Not worth the price, time

Would Not Recommend

I don’t know how they can state 1 cost coverage. I followed all their directions. Walks weren’t even close to the measured amount. Much smaller. Temps good. Walls clean and dry. Used appropriate equipment. Still require 2 and in some areas 3 coats. Had I known I’d have used a cheaper paint. Might as well for the same expense, cost and time of applying this brand. Could have spent less on 3 coats if a different brand. Unbelievable !!! Not at all satisfied or happy !!

2 coats insufficient much to my dismay

Would Not Recommend

Applying 2 coats over a light color paint should be sufficient for a paint this costly. Have enough to apply avthird coat but not pleased that I need to

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

Would Recommend

[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.

Basically water paint

Would Not Recommend

Go with behr or sherwin Williams paints if you don’t want to apply 3+ coats of paint for proper coverage. You would be better off using water color paint than valspars garbage.

Great Product

Would Recommend

[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. .

Valspar Reserve eggshell finish paint

Would Recommend

I bought Valspar Reserve eggshell finish paint for my two bedrooms and my study. I am pleased with the end results. The paint looks smooth and the colors look bright after drying. Note that the paint is advertised as having one-coat coverage, but the orange paint (Monarch Wing) took three coats to cover the previous gray paint. For the purple (Playful Petal) and blue (Bright and Breezy) paint we may have been able to get away with one coat for each, but we did two coats to ensure that the rooms ...

Color match

Would Recommend

Color came out great. Easy to apply and so far scuff resistant. Looks slightly lighter on a white wall but overall color match.
