Perfect Paint!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When deciding to paint the exterior of your home, picking a paint is one of the biggest hurdles. I have already used Valspar on every inch of our interior so naturally I hoped Valspar wouldn't disappoint for exterior paint. And it definitely did not! Used Defense for the entirety of our vinyl exterior and it has weathered many New England winter storms already and still looks amazing! I'll be muraling the back of the house with the paints in th...

Great coverage

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed to repaint our carport supports and looked for a reputable exterior paint. This one is a little higher in price, but I think it will last through the elements. It went on smooth and provided excellent coverage.

Love this paint!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We always use this paint for exterior projects and I’m very impressed by how well it was held up here. We have very harsh winters and humid springs and summers and everything still looks good as new. No mildew, no chipping and easy to use.

Nice coverage w 2 coats

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I repainted an exterior wood wall, covering a lighter gray with grizzle gray Valspar Defense. It took 2 coats but I’m very happy with the results. It’s very pricey, but all paint has gone up.

Excellent quality

Would Recommend

I purchased to repaint the old aluminum siding on my house.The quality is great, it looks fabulous with just one coat but will need a second to hit where the roller missed. I appreciate not having to prime. Dries quick. I hope it holds up over the years! I’m glad I went with this line, I think it’s a cost efficient option.

Simple to apply

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The paint is simple to use, you simply need 2 coats to properly distribute the paint. It dried in a couple of hours and set nicely, I really like the color and looks great. I highly recommend this brand and color.

One Coat and Go

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar's Defense Exterior Paint & Primer should be your new go to for exterior paint options. I've always liked Valspar's paints but this one is really on a tier all its own, the color shows through beautifully and only with one coat! For a longer lasting finish I would suggest at least two, but not having to prime before seeing your chosen color makes this a winner to me!

High Quality

Would Recommend

In the past I have used an exterior latex to paint the the beanbag boards I've made. Valspar's Defense paint will be all I'll ever use in the future for all my projects. Just 2 coats on bare wood and I'm done. These gameboards should hold up for a long time with this paint on them. They look great!

Beautiful paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this paint a month ago and it is just gorgeous. It goes on smoothly and easily and dries nicely. It has a matte but shiny finish. All my neighbors have been asking about it as I used it to paint my siding.
