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.

3 coats needed, not 1!
Would Not RecommendIt says one coat, but I had to use 3 coats of white paint to cover up light blue walls and a white closet! Valspar is usually my favorite paint but I will stick with the Signature instead of paying extra for the Reserve thats not as good.

Valspar is second to none.
Would RecommendI purchased this semi-gloss paint to paint window sills in a home I am selling. It worked great, the paint was rich and perfect consistency for easy application. I had it tinted in white to match the window sills, and it covered them beautifully.

Does NOT hold up
Would Not RecommendVery unhappy with this product. We bought this because of how tough it was supposed to be but yet it scratches off with your fingernail. I followed all the prep steps and it's horrible now. Would definitely not recommend
