What Customers Are Saying

The Valspar Reserve Interior Paint & Primer has received mixed reviews. Many customers praised its great coverage, vibrant colors, smooth application, and easy cleanup. However, several reported that the "one coat coverage" claim was inaccurate, and they needed to apply multiple coats, especially over darker colors. Some also noted issues with streaking, sheen, and overall paint quality. While the paint has many positive attributes, customers may need to use more paint than expected to achieve satisfactory results, especially for certain colors or surfaces.

Not Semigloss, Poor Cvrg

Signature. Good color. Poor coverage, no sheen. We specifically wanted semigloss. What we ended up with is not smooth, no sheen. When my husband bumped the flat paint ceiling there should be a noticeable shiny spot, comparatively. None. If this means we have to do multiple coats, then they lied to us. We are applying over quality primer. Will come back and update when the project is completed.

Awesome Paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this paint and absolutely love the coverage and richness of color. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. Got so many compliments on the color.

Good coverage

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this for our ceiling and walls as the base white color. We liked it so much, that we decided to buy it for the actual wall color too!

The perfect paint!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Reserve did an amazing job of not only covering marks with one coat, but it also went a long way! We saved money using Valspar paint rather than a different brand.

Marks with any touch!

Love how it looks but can't touch it! Streaks with any touch and no amount of washing will make it go away. Very frustrating!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Reserve interior paint and primer for my kitchen which has textured walls. Not quite one coat coverage but that’s not the paint, it’s my technique. Lovely even color.

Our new "Go To" Paint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this paint to have our painters do our great room. We love the color and finish. Professional painters said it was easy to go on, covered well with one coat and very little smell, it also dried quickly.

Great coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color that I chose matched to the sample card and was very much the same as it went onto the wall, darkening just a bit when it dried.

NOT AS ADVERTISED

Would Not Recommend

I will never buy this paint again. I expected it to be one coat as advertised. I followed all the directions exactly as stated and after 2-3 coats, it looks just okay. I've used comparable brands that covered in one coat and look amazing dry. The consistency was wildly different from gallon to gallon as well (even in the same color and base).

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

I've painted for many years now. I chose valspar because I got a sample then painted one wall. It looked really nice. Went on smooth, like the thickness of it, covered really well and the price was reasonable. I need around 6 to 10 cans. When I did my other walls, you can see where I rolled, spots all over. I have never had this issue. I'm still painting, so I have to keep using it or it will probably be noticeable if I change brands. The color probably won't match. Very disappointed. I would p...
