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.

great paint
It’s very good paint
Another BAD customer service experience
Would Not RecommendThe reserve brand was not in stock when we returned to Lowe's to purchase additional paint needed for our project. The paint specialist didn't inform us that purchasing different brands wouldn't match. When returning to the store, the same specialist said, " I knew it wouldn't match" This response was absolutely uncalled for and unprofessional. Apparently, accountability is not on sale.
