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.

Awesome Exterior Paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar - Defense Exterior Paint and Primer is a quality exterior paint. We recently purchased a house and we’re wanting to paint the trim so we chose this paint. The color is a vibrant brownish gray and it just glided on. There’s excellent coverage because it’s also a primer. We live in a harsh Texas heat so choosing Valspar which is a dependable brand I know it’s going to last. As we recently had quite a bit of snow this paint has Water-B...

Easy to use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got white for this paint. The paint goes on smoothly It does take a few layers to build up the paint. I like that the primer was included with the paint since it saved me work.

Great coverage

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Valspar - Defense Exterior Paint and Primer was such a great, high-quality paint. We used this paint on an outside shed. The shed was a medium blue so I was nervous this white paint wouldn't cover it, but it did! I did use 2 coats just to be sure no blue showed through, but with a lighter undercoat you could easily just use 1 coat. It was a nice, smooth paint that went on easily. Great product that I wouldn't hesitat to use again!

Great exterior paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I painted my outside wood trim of my house with this and it looks great. I applied 2 coats and it was quick and easy. The paint went on smoothly and covered thoroughly. It does a nice job of beading the water off when it rains. I haven't seen any fading from the areas that get lots of daily sunlight. From what I can see, this paint will keep my outside looking great for many years.

Defense Exterior Paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Valspar Defense exterior paint. It glides on smooth, we painted the inside walls of our garage and it looks so much cleaner and nicer. One coat is all you need with this paint. It also has primer, so no need to add primer afterwards! Great product! I will recommend!

Nice exterior paint

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as we are going through a re-construction of our back deck and front patio. The house needed a fresh coat of paint as well. Got a pretty basic white color and it went on well over the older white paint. Would choose again for other projects!

my favorite!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favorite exterior paint! I've tried multiple types and brands over the year, but this one is going to be my new go to every time. It was time to repaint the porch so I gave it a try and was so impressed. I really did only need one coat and it looks fabulous! You won't be disappointed and it deflates the job easier! Highly recommend for any paint projects.
