What Customers Are Saying

The Valspar Reserve Interior Paint & Primer received mixed reviews. Many customers praised its great coverage, color selection, and ease of application, finding it to be a high-quality, durable, and long-lasting product. However, a significant number reported issues with the paint, stating it did not provide true one-coat coverage as advertised and required multiple coats, even on lighter walls. Some also complained about poor consistency, streakiness, and separation. While mostly positive, the feedback suggests the one-coat claim may not be accurate for all situations, and customers should be prepared to apply multiple coats.

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!

Great coverage

[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.

[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...

Great Paint but..

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Reserve interior paint itself is great! We painted over our red kitchen that had been driving us craft since we moved in. Even with the bold red the Reserve only took one coat period, it was amazing and we only needed one can. I felt if we utilized the less expensive cans we would have spent more buying two cans. The only complaint is maybe the paint didn’t mix well because it’s so good and thick or Lowe’s didn’t shake it long enoug...

Not one coat, but four!

Beautiful color (purchased the Berry Brown) but it's absolutely not one coat coverage... It's four! I've done many interior painting projects, personally and professionally, and am surprised at how long painting a single small bedroom has taken with this product. It's certainly pretty, but not what it promised to be. I don't recommend for vibrant color use.
