What Customers Are Saying

The Valspar paint received mixed reviews. Many customers were satisfied with its easy application, good coverage, and color matching. However, a significant number reported that it required multiple coats to achieve the desired results, despite claims of one-coat coverage. Some felt the paint was overpriced for the quality and performance, and there were complaints about the strong odor and difficulty of removing painter's tape without damaging the paint.

Watered down garbage

Would Not Recommend

Valspar is selling snake oil. This is the worse paint on the market. Valspar has intentionally watered it down to increase their profits. This crap takes about 4 coats to get it to look decent, but it will never look good. I had to paint over this trash with sherwin Williams, a much more superior and cheaper product. Lowe’s wouldn’t even return it for me so valspar ripped me off $55 dollars for trash. Lowe’s and valspar should be ashamed and this product should be pulled off the shelves. DO NOT ...

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....

False advertisement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On Wednesday 6/13/24 I bought Valspar Reserve paint, it was put on the next day, it said One Coat, PLEASE STOP LYING TO THE customer because it takes more than one coat,change that to say it may take more than one coat, it's too expensive.

Not worth the price

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a 5 gallon paint bucket because it said I was a 1 coat paint. Not true at all. Had to go over several times. Love the color but not worth the extra money.

Worst Paint I've Ever Used

Would Not Recommend

This paint was a complete waste of $50. I bought KC Chiefs red to cover a light golden color and even after two coats, the original color is still showing through. I'm going to need at least one more coat, possibly two for full coverage. And please spare me the generic reply on how to paint a room in 3 foot sections. It won't help if the product you're using is inferior. We previously bought a competitor's paint to do our family room and the light gray covered orange in one coat so I know it's p...

Never lets me down…

Would Recommend

If you are not happy with this product (Reserve) then you probably shouldn’t be painting at all. This paint especially in flat makes ok painters better and experienced ones know if they have tried it. The only downside for the working professional is that it’s pricey compared to production paint lines.

Very little spatter.

Would Recommend

Spreads easily but using a Purdy 1/2 inch nap roller my dark green required a second coat over the original yellow color.

Read the reviews!

Would Not Recommend

Definitely not a one coat paint. The coverage is terrible and worse is the smell. I am concerned now about the fumes and based on other reviews it sounds like it may not subside. I have used other brands such as Behr and have never had such a toxic odor the next day after painting. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Can anyone assist with the odor remediation? Do I need to paint over with a primer now?

This is the best color!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this paint, and I bought the color iron frost, I love it so much that I have painted my entire home, variations of this paint. I painted my hallways this color, then I had them mix lighter and darker colors to make different variations so I was able to use this color as a color scheme and it’s amazing. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
