Excellent

Would Recommend

Valspar is great. I had my deck professionally stained about a year ago, but a lot of it flaked off. I guess the contractor didn't prep the wood properly. (He used Behr.) I didn't have the color code so I peeled off a sample and took it to Lowes. They scanned the sample with some kind of light which created a code and tinted the Valspar. The match was perfect. I mean dead-on. Went on smooth and covered beautifully, dried in about 8 hours on a warm day - 72ºf.

This stain was rather difficult to match. The color match was spot on. My deck looks great!

Did not work for me. Hoped to use solid Simple Cedar color to enhance Cedar Naturaltone semi-transparent stain, but colors were different.
