Perfect for door

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to use this paint for my exterior door to make sure it withstands all the chaotic weather we get here in Louisiana. The quality of this point is evident. The built in primer works well. I was able to cover a dark color with the lighter version in two coats. I love it and I have gotten many compliments on the paint and color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar defense exterior paint and primer in one is excellent, it rolls on smoothly and easily on the surface. It's the perfect paint for the Florida weather, it has water beading technology so is able to protect the exterior from all the moisture of the rain. This paint is also able to protect the color against fading over time with the sun. If the painted surface gets dirty, its easy to wash off and will look new and clean again, saving y...

Great exterior paint!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this Valspar exterior paint and primer to paint some of the doors and shutters on our house. It was easy to apply, it had good coverage, and the finish was nice and smooth. I love the vast color selection they offered and the fact that this is water resistant and a one-coat process, it really gave our house a fresh, new look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very impressed with the paint and the color. Went on perfectly one coat did it plus it cover existing stains. Dries in about one hour. I use a roller and the clean up was a breeze just soap and water will do it.

Very impressed

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I'm very impressed with the various aspects of this paint. It's very easy to mix and stir. There are some paints like this that are almost too thick and I would assume it is because of the characteristics associated with a durable exterior paint that is supposed to be one-coat coverage. I really like the consistency of this paint, though. It does maintain the one-coat coverage and it glides on easily and smoothly. Even though it is...

Good primer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had some exterior wall areas that had some mildew and moss. Most of this we washed during prep and scraped, but even so, areas remained discolored. One coat of this paint applied by brush completely covered these areas, and even a few spots that weren't prepped. Excellent paint and primer in one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to paint an out-building that I use as my stained glass studio. This Valspar Defense paint made my first attempt at exterior painting a breeze! With some tips from a friend that is a professional painter, I was able to give my studio a much need facelift. Since Defense is a paint with a primer, I was able to cover the existing color with one coat. The paint went on smoothly and easily with the roller. Since I live in Florida, I app...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m self painting our new home and wanted to get the good paint so I hopefully won’t have to paint again for many years down the road and have to only do minimal coats up front. I used this paint on our hardie siding going up. I decided to pre-paint before install so that I won’t have to tape everything and can just touch up the caulk lines and nail holes once installed. This has turned out to be great as I can paint super fast when my boards a...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paint is amazing! I got it tinted to the antique white and I love the color, it was just what I was looking for. I painted my shed with it. It only needed one coat and was super easy to apply. It took no time! We had our first rain storm about a week later and you can actually see the water beading up and running off it.

Excellent paint!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been on a DYI kick lately and had a few outdoor areas that needed a fresh look. The Valspar Defense Exterior Paint and Primer went beyond my expectations. It goes on smoothly and has great coverage. The paint dried beautifully and made the area look completely updated. I could not believe how much a fresh paint job improved the area! This Defense line is top notch and definitely worth a try!
