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

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.

HORRIBLE coverage!

Correction to previous review... The photo was 2 Coats not one!!

Thin, horrible coverage.

Bought this for the inside of the garage. HORRIBLE coverage. Don't waste your money.

Not worth the price

[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.

Painted a room

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paint went on smoothly with no problems. I’m going to paint another room using the same reserve paint.

Love the Finish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the Valspar Reserve to use on my Inside Front door. Loved using this product adhere and applied smoothly to my door.

Chalky when touched

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product did not cover in one coat and when you touch the walls it leaves chalky like marks.

Great coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great coverage. Smooth. Great color selection. Will use for my next project.

Never lets me down…

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.

Great color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Couldn’t be more happy with our color choices for our kitchen and living room

This is the best color!

[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!

Poor review

Bought the reserve instead of the middle tier of Valspar as the middle tier was causing us to do 3-4 coats of white per room on an original light blue paint. So we bought the reserve where it says one coat coverage. We have still had to do 3 coats per room with the same original light blue paint. First 5 gallon of white was valspar signature and the new 5 gallon of white was reserve where, again, we had to do 3 coats per room.

Great for trim

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bright white- goes on smooth.. semi gloss has nice sheen and wood is smooth after. Covers very well

Not One-Coat Coverage

This is definitely not a one-coat coverage paint. We had to do two coats in each room. Very disappointed that we paid extra for the one-coat coverage and could’ve easily used a different level of paint and gotten the same result. Not worth the price.

Best interior period.

Absolutely love Valspar. Their paints and brushes and rollers, well actually every product they offer is the best I've ever had the joy of using FIVE ⭐ FROM ME AND I'D GIVE IT A 10⭐ IF I COULD. THANKS VALSPAR.

2 Coats and covers great.

OUTSTANDING!!!! Great covering. For those saying they needed 3 coats then you need to learn how to PREP before you paint. I have NEVER found a single paint that doesn't need 2 coats, for proper coverage 2 coats. Washing walling patching holes, sanding where needed proper brushes and rollers 2 coats is all I have ever used. Yes many paints say "One Coat" so if you have to buy an extra gallon go back to the store and get a refund then buy another gallon, I have never had to to do that because I ...

Horrible coverage

Not close to 1 coat coverage. 3 minimum over very light colored walls and still looks terrible!

Wow!

I went to Lowes planning to buy Sherwin Williams to paint my toddlers new bedroom before baby #2 arrives. The Lowes rep told me the Sherwin Williams rep had just visited that day and told him the paints are the exactly same and there’s zero difference. I really found this hard to believe but after a lot of convincing I tried the reserve. The “one cost guarantee” on the can is not true, it needs two for sure. But the most disappointing thing is the smell… After 7 days, lots of headaches, windows ...

Love This Paint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a paint for my entire house that would withstand cleaning. I have children and 2 dogs in the house and the walls seem to always have little handprints on them. This paint is amazing and I have had no issues cleaning it. I also love how easy clean up is after I finished painting. Simple soap and water.
