Ratings & Reviews for Valspar Reserve Eggshell Base B Tintable Interior Paint Paint + Primer ( 1-gallon )

Absolutely not one coat

Bought this today, painted and it is not one coat. Not enough left to do a second. We thought going the best route would be expensive paint that guarantees one coat coverage. We did all the steps properly like their website says and still you can easily see the primer shining through in the whole room. Usually they can’t get the exact same color tint either as the first gal so looks like we will have to buy a whole different brand and start over. Highly upset with this experience and we won’t be...

mixed paint

Do NOT buy. I ides to use valspar reserve for everything. Not any more. I purchased 1 gallon used 4 coats including over primer. Thought maybe I had a bad mix, went and purchased another gallon. No that wasn't the problem. It looks awful, Never before have I had such a bad paint. Called lowes - Manager stated a sherwin WIlliams rep will have to come out to see what happened. I have painted a 4000 sq foot house- several rooms multiple times. Now I have to wait for a rep to come out to tell me wh...

Overpriced and Low Qualit

I 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

It 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.

Great Features!

Amazing product, like the texture and how easy it is to apply.

Bright white...not 1 coat

I 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

Nice 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...

great color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this paint, bought it and used it in my laundry room, went on smooth easy to apply, and had no issues with it yet. i would buy this again when i need more painting done,

White on white

What this paint promised is one coat and done. What this paint needed to do. Paint already white walls, primed white wood, and white caulking, with bits of brown wood filler. Now all these whites were different shades and I wanted one uniform color. So first coat with a $6 brush on the trim was barely noticeable. First coat on the walls with a roller barely noticeable. Why does it looks so good after this first then... So after brushing the first coat on the trim when I was rolling with a rolle...

Beautiful Paint

[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.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this paint a couple of months ago. Pretty amazing color choices and amazing quality!

no extra primer needed!

[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!

I 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

[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!

Just 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!

Works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very please with this paint. I have been wanting to upgrade my bathroom for awhile, and this was definitely the way to go. It left a nice clean paint job behind! I have already recommended this paint to friends and family!

Beautiful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Valspar paint! Goes on smooth every time and the colors are beautiful and vibrant. Paint plus primer is a one step easy way to paint. This will always be my go to interior paint choice! Very very pleased with this brand!
