What Customers Are Saying

The Valspar Reserve paint offers good coverage and performance. Many customers reported that the paint covered well, often in just one coat, and was easy to apply and clean up. However, some customers found the paint to be thinner than expected and requiring two coats for full coverage, especially for darker colors. Overall, the majority of customers seem satisfied with the quality, coverage, and ease of use of this paint.

Not one coat

Would Not Recommend

This paint says it's one coat, but it is not. I am going to have to go back to the store and buy another can of paint.

Good

Very forgiving paint for a beginner. I messed up quite a few times and I’m still learning how to make even coats, but no matter how bad it looked wet, this dried significantly better. I’m going through a lot of this doing multiple coats due to spackle and mishaps, but one coat does a good job already.

One coat wonder! I need more walls to paint now.

Would Recommend

Valspar Reserve coated a 19 year old, heavily textured wall (is this a SW thing?), in one coat. I wanted the 14x10 wall as my accent wall. I assumed i would need a second coat because the plaster texture was really heavy. Maybe the last owner used an orange peel from Godzilla? Reserve coated evenly, in one coat. Its a gray tint so i would have noticed any blemishes or discoloration.

Reserve primer paint

Would Not Recommend

I bought it because I thought I would only apply 1 coat because that what it said it would do. Instead I had to apply 2 coats. Will not buy this again.
