What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the paint's exceptional coverage, color accuracy, and smooth application, with most noting it delivers professional results and hides previous colors effectively. Many achieve full coverage in one coat over light or primed surfaces, while others find darker shades require two applications. Reviewers consistently highlight rich color fidelity, effortless gliding application, and even drying. Some express frustration over one-coat claims not matching reality with darker bases, and a few report strong ammonia odor. Despite these concerns, most customers consider the paint's quality and finish worthwhile.

Highly recommend this paint

Go ahead and spring for this more expensive paint. You'll be happy you did when you only have to roll one coat. Great coverage even when painting dark over light.

Paint works well, the new tops make it easier to pour without making a mess. Advertised as "single coat" application but you may have to apply 2 coats. Price for the quality is good.

Good

Would Recommend

Very forgiving paint for a beginner. I messed up quite a few times and I’m still learning how to make even coats, but no matter how bad it looked wet, this dried significantly better. I’m going through a lot of this doing multiple coats due to spackle and mishaps, but one coat does a good job already.

One coat wonder! I need more walls to paint now.

Would Recommend

Valspar Reserve coated a 19 year old, heavily textured wall (is this a SW thing?), in one coat. I wanted the 14x10 wall as my accent wall. I assumed i would need a second coat because the plaster texture was really heavy. Maybe the last owner used an orange peel from Godzilla? Reserve coated evenly, in one coat. Its a gray tint so i would have noticed any blemishes or discoloration.

Reserve primer paint

Would Not Recommend

I bought it because I thought I would only apply 1 coat because that what it said it would do. Instead I had to apply 2 coats. Will not buy this again.
