Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the paint for smooth application, low odor, quick drying, and vibrant color selection. Many highlight the paint plus primer combination as a major convenience. However, most note that two coats are typically needed despite marketing claims of one-coat coverage, with some requiring three coats. The improved packaging and pour spout design receive positive feedback. A small group expresses disappointment, citing unmet coverage expectations rather than paint quality issues. Overall, reviewers recommend the product for its premium feel and finish, though coverage claims warrant realistic expectations.

Would Not RecommendI followed every instruction, hoping that this paint would cover in a single coat as advertised. It definitely needs multiple coats. I was super unhappy with the coverage, color, and sheen. Considering the premium you pay for this paint, it is quite low quality. If you have any sheen, it may become too shiny when you are forced to do a second coat.

Poor quality paint
Would Not RecommendIt says one coat plus primer but I'm on my fifth coat and it's still not covering, clearly it's not a one coat paint. I'm guessing that we're going to be at eight coats and a second gallon of this garbage paint has proper coverage. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.

Bright white...not 1 coat
Would Not RecommendI bought this a week ago and used it on some walls that I already did 2 coats of white primer on. Spent the extra money so I would only need a single coat. It couldn't cover in a single coat so I wasted that extra money.

One coverage guarate-Not
Would Not RecommendNice paint, nice color. Easy to work with and finished product looks nice. Bought it to cover two different colors and bought specifically for the one coat coverage guaranteed which is right on front. I've made the mistake of buying cheaper paint in the past so I figured I'd spend the money this time. Unfortunately it required two coats on both colors...one light yellow, one red. The red I could maybe see but the yellow should have covered. I would have bought cheaper paint and done two coat...

Beautiful Paint
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Reserve® Interior Paint + Primer has wonderful coverage. No need for coats of primer and multiple coats of paint to cover. I used this in a dining room with navy walls and various marks and putty filled nail holes. It went on smoothly and covered like a dream. Now my dining room is light and cheery in day. I highly recommend for DIY projects and painting.

Not Pleased
I bought this expensive paint in an effort to save time for a weekend paint job; a small bedroom. The original walls were off white and I was painting them a different white and still had to do two coats. I could have gotten the cheaper Valspar 2000 if I was going to have to do 2 coats anyway. Also, the flat paint still has a sheen. It's not flat. Not pleased.

no extra primer needed!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to apply, perfect for a beginner!. The color was also really pretty and I'm really happy I was able to paint my living room a new color and not have to worry about priming it separately!

TOOK 3 COATS!
Would Not RecommendI bought this because it said one coat and that was a lie. I painted pre-primed wooden doors and one coat definitely wasn’t enough see picture of the one coat. Took 3 coats to look nice. This paint is way too expensive for me having to paint 3 coats. Very disappointed.

Used it in the basement
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this one in our basement as well and the other half of the bare drywall after we remodeled it. I felt like it had a good coverage and I didn’t have to go over Everything again only certain spots. Overall I was pleased with it and I got the job done well. We just picked basic white and used it as a primer.

surprise!
Would RecommendJust painted a guest bedroom with Valspar Reserve. My usual choice of paint is SW Duration, but due to a national shortage none was available. I tried Valspar Reserve and was totally impressed. It is a wonderful paint! Covered a bold color in one coat, went on smoothly with no splatters. The finish is gorgeous! Looks like I found a new go-to paint!

Great primer
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Reserve Interior Pant and Primer is a very good paint. I was pleased how it covered the area with only one coat. Previously, the paint I have used generally takes a single primer and ten I must repeat the process with paint on the same area.

Takes more than 1 coat
Would Not RecommendI bought this paint because of the one coat coverage guarantee. That needs to be removed from the label, as I am now working on my second coat. This paint is way too expensive for the poor quality.
