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.

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...

NOT 1 coat

1 coat guaranteed where?????? I am on 2nd coat but chose the more expensive can due to one coat guaranteed. Now I’m headed back to buy more as it will take minimum 2 coats.

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 !!

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 Product

[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. .

RESERVE is Durable Paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can truly vouch for Valspar RESERVE as being the #1 Best paint to stand up to your Toughest abuse! I moved into a rented home that had literally been boarded up for about a decade. It had unfinished concrete floors, covered in dried up mouse urine, mouse droppings, dead bugs, and dirt. I scrubbed the floors multiple times with bleach water, rinsed well, and dried well. I first painted the floors with primer, using a roller on my broom handle....
