What Customers Are Saying
The Valspar Reserve paint has mixed performance. Many customers reported good coverage, easy application, and a nice finish, with some able to achieve one-coat coverage even over darker colors. However, a significant number found the paint did not cover as well as advertised, requiring two or more coats, especially when painting over darker colors. Some also noted the paint was thick and difficult to thoroughly mix. The overall sentiment is that the paint is a quality product that performs well in many cases, but may not always live up to the one-coat coverage claim. Customers recommend using a primer coat, applying carefully, and being prepared to do multiple coats if needed, despite the higher price point. The paint seems to provide good durability and a nice finish when applied properly.

Needs two coats
Would RecommendPaint is a really nice color but very thin

Worth the price for a great finish
Would RecommendThick enough to not drip but thin enough to spread evenly with a good quality brush, this white paint gave good coverage. After using liquid sand to remove the gloss on very old painted woodwork, I did use two coats to achieve a perfect finish.

Worst paint I’ve ever used.
Would Not RecommendCoverage is absolute garbage. Painting a small powder room. 1 coat of Kilz primer and FOUR coats of this garbage and still the original color coming through.

Needs more than one coat
Too thick, needs more than one coat, chalky finish even though it was semi-gloss. Too expensive.

Doesn’t cover in one coat as advertised.
Would Not RecommendIt required two coats, and looks like satin instead of semi gloss. I even had a coat of primer under it.
