Ratings & Reviews for Valspar Interior Multi-purpose Water-based Wall and Ceiling Primer ( 5-gallon )
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The primer provides excellent coverage and performance, requiring only one coat to effectively prime and seal new drywall, cover up existing paint colors, and create a smooth, uniform base for the final paint application. Customers praised its easy application, low odor, and good value, especially in the larger 5-gallon size. The primer was consistently effective at hiding imperfections and delivering a professional-looking finish, allowing some users to achieve good results with just a single coat of the final paint. While a few customers reported issues with multiple coats or problems with topcoat adhesion, the overall feedback is very positive.

Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hired a painter to paint the garage using this primer. I took well to the concrete however on the drywall it started peeling even after multiple applications. The job took longer than expected.

No hide
Would Not Recommend"Good hide" is not true. Trying to cover a small room that was light powder blue, 2 coats, blue STILL showing. Junk. Wouldn't buy again. Paint was shaken and stirred

Great price and made painting easier
Would RecommendYou can never have to much primer. Buying the 5 gallon saved money and was convenient for painting multiple areas of my home. This primer went on smooth and made all the difference in improving how well my paint laid and looked when dried.

Walk away
Would Not RecommendWe bought this because of it being a multi surface primer. It was used in our living room that had new drywall, new tongue and groove wood, and masonry fireplace. Applied the primer, and now 2 days after applying the final coat of paint to the drywall and new wood we have bleed thru on the new wood. The drywall covered good and the masonry covered. This primer is not for new wood.

I've tried this twice, never again
Would Not RecommendHorrible coverage. Once we topcoated, most of the paint peeled back off with the removal of the masking tape. It's the second time I've tried this. I was burned both times. Never again.
