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.

Doesn't smell gross
Would RecommendThis stuff goes on thick, so fewer coats. The smell goes away as soon as it's dry, so you aren't smelling fumes for days. It dries really fast too. We did the second coat as soon as we finished the first. Ryan in the PO paint department was super helpful too.

Thanks for leaving a review. Painting with a deep color or painting over a deep color may require more than 1 coat to cover. For drastic color change...
