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.

Had better... part II

Would Recommend

Further to my review 12/21, and no way to append, felt compelled to add context and admit emotion may have interfered with critical thinking. The product that was discontinued (but served me well) had stock # 535098 White. Valspar support advised this was replaced with Reserve Flat Sheen #2916574 Ultra White base (being reviewed). Perhaps the primer I used may not have had the requisite resins to properly seal the sheetrock, that would explain the consumption. After a second coat, I got the expe...

Would Not Recommend

Used to be their Reserve was worth the money, but that was then. Didn't even get 300 sq ft from a gallon of the stuff (on properly-primed sheetrock) now and have to buy a 5-gallon pail to do my 235 sq ft living room. That ain't right... Should have been a single-star, but the dried finish of what was painted was (just) acceptable.

Poor results and awful ammonia smell

Would Not Recommend

I bought several cans of this paint for various rooms, but after trying to paint one wall, I'm very disappointed with the results. The "One-Coat Coverage. Guaranteed" claim appears misleading, as the paint failed to deliver this result, even when applied to a clean and properly prepared wall with a good-quality paint roller. I paid extra money to avoid having to do extra coats. Another issue is the strong ammonia smell. After a few minutes of trying to paint one wall, I had to stop and go outsi...

Lowes will rip you off

Would Not Recommend

Bought this with a rebate offer (Buy one get one) and they did not honor the deal when I submitted the receipt. Will NEVER buy paint at Lowes again!
