Valspar Reviews

I’ve used Valspar paint for many years with no issues. Until now. I purchased Ultra high gloss paint and primer one ultra white and one light gray. Unfortunately I am beyond disappointed my walls and trim look terrible. I can see every dang stoke with my brush and roller. Been painting homes for over 30 years. I have never seen such a mess. I will never buy any Valspar paint or products again. Valspar should refund my money. Your product is terrible. Not what it use to be. Never again to think I have to repaint my house because of you and your terrible product. Not worth the one star I gave you.

I got the lowest-priced paint at Lowe's, Valspar Express Coat (about $16 a gallon) to repaint my garage walls. It is awful. I did about 1/4 of one wall and knew it was not good. It went on poorly and did not cover well. I'll be going to Sherwin-Williams to get something which will likely be more expensive but worth the cost. It really is true, you get what you pay for.

I wish I would have read the reviews. The coverage is terrible as you see in the pictures. The first three are one coat. The last one is two coats and then I think I took another one of a cut in, but it looks almost like we need to do a third coat it’s ridiculous. We should only have to have done one coat And some touch.

I do a lot of restoration work on 100 year old homes and businesses. I was talked into (via cheap cost) using Valspar Barn and Post Paint on a siding restoration. Peeling within one season, fading within one season. 100 year old houses don't have house wrap so the wood will breath through the siding could be a partial explanation. However most barns I know don't have house wrap either. As I look around town, I see Valspar peeling off several of the recently restored buildings. And the dread I feel of what to expect is most overwhelming.

Bought the Signature Satin Ultra White which was horrible. According to my painter Valspar is so supposed to be the best of best covering with one stroke. We're painting white over white and had to go over twice. Not worth what it used to be.

I bought a 5 gallon deck and porch paint and had it sprayed on and it peeled within 4 months. I was really disappointed. Will have to redo it all plus sanding paint is $250. Labor 400 out of my pocket. I'm retired and can't afford it. The rear porch has a ramp which also was painted. I have Parkinson and need the ramp.

To complete my facia board replacement project, I planned to finish it with Valspar Duramax semi-gloss exterior paint. I painted about $200.00 in new wood in advance of installation. After several days, the paint never completely dried, and to date still remains tacky. The weather has been sunny, low humidity, and in the high 70s. I don't know whether to go ahead and put the boards up or continue to wait. I am very dissatisfied with Valspar, which I am told was bought by Sherwin Williams. I also learned that mine is not an isolated incident with this paint. I will NOT buy any more Valspar paint and WILL discourage others from buying this product!

WARNING! WARNING! DO NOT BUY! I own a high end remodeling company out of New York, we paint a lot! I would not use this brand paint even on my worst enemy's home.... I know what you're thinking, save money by purchasing this gallon for $25 VS Behr for $65. Just don't do it. You'll end up spending WAY more than $65 as a result and the most precious asset of all- TIME. This paint is watered down, drippy, doesn't dry, doesn't cover, streaks, looks like absolute TRASH. Go buy Behr or anything else but this!

Purchased Valspar Door and Trim indoor/outdoor to do my outside window with wood frames. It doesn't cover as nice as cheaper brands. The label states "Swift Dry Ready in 2 Hours"..Uh, NO!! I painted one huge window Trim. I left the window open for at least 5 hours. A week later I noticed a spot close to the bottom sill I missed. Went to open the window in order to reach it and not paint it shut, guess what?, the window wouldn't open... So the paint, after 5 hours was not dry nor was it "ready in 2 hours!". I scraped and wire brushed all the old paint off beforehand, now a week later this paint looks as though it's breaking apart in stripes. This isn't my first rodeo, I've painted for years.. No more Valspar for me!!

Sadly I got cheap and picked up a gallon of Valspar paint for my 1/2 bath project. Well what was a cheap idea turned into being more expensive because I now have to repaint this bathroom. It looks like a disaster, streaking and horrible coverage even after 2 coats.
