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

Bad batch maybe

Semi gloss version is terrible. So streaky and brush marks and no leveling. We bought the reserve in eggshell and had great coverage in two coats. We bought special rollers brushes, that extra expense did not help. We sanded and am now trying third day of painting. I’m just frustrated. And have sore muscles.

Great coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great coverage … goes in smooth used 2 different colors

Good coverage

Very good coverage.

RESERVE is Durable Paint

[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....

Awesome coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love their colors! Great coverage and easy to clean.

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.

Too Thin

Way too thin for one coat coverage. Doesn't adhere particularly well to fully prepped and primed surfaces. Finish is also poor for the price. Going back to Behr.

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.
