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.

Love the design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging itself is nice, but the only thing I didn't like is the paper around the logo. It’s not fully secured which can be annoying, but also not a big deal. The lid design is absolutely great! There is nothing more annoying than the mess after dumping some paint and all the edges get messed up. The insert to neatly pour the paint into a container is absolutely amazing and it helps a LOT with precision. I can't wait to use it!

Coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very washable friendly paint. It goes on surfaces very smooth. It has a great coverage that is easy to apply. It adheres to things very nicely.

No rust packaging

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the updated packaging for this Valspar paint. The container is plastic not metal. I can’t say how many times I’ve opened old paint for touch up and little rust flakes break off into the paint. That won’t happen with plastic! I don’t need a hammer to close the container since it’s plastic. It clicks closed. I appreciate the pour spout which lessens the likelihood of spills and messes. The detachable spout also has grooves to open and clos...

5/5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar Reserve Interior Paint delivers excellent one coat coverage with a smooth, eggshell finish. The color looks rich and consistent, with great hide and durability. Low odor and easy application make it ideal for interior spaces, while the finish resists scuffs and stays fresh over time.

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.

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.
