Valspar Reviews

I just needed paint for my closet. First off, coverage is horrible. I didn't buy the cheapest. I went midline because the guy at Lowe's told me I'd need four or five coats of the cheapest. I was going white over white... And it still took two coats! It's very drippy. Does not clean up well. And, even though it claimed to be low odor, it stinks! I'm one of those people who loves the smell of a freshly painted room. But this? Horrible! I wish I could get my money back.

Painted the first three walls. Opened up the second can of paint to do the fourth wall. Did a little touch up and no wrist? The second can did match the first can. About a third can and found out there's a third canned match. The second can so I had to paint three walls again in the room.

I don’t know who in their right mind would think this paint is terrible because I just painted something that would have taken 3 coats with Behr paint! I usually don’t write reviews but after using Valspar for the first time (always painting something) I am amazed. I have never strayed from Behr but I was recently in Lowe's and thought I’d try it, so I bought a quart. I must admit I found myself quite upset that I hadn't tried it before. What a difference. I used a quart to paint an accent wall but liked the color so much and the way it spread on, along with coverage, that I decided to paint my stairway. I still have half a quart left, by the way. This may well be the best paint I have ever used! Thank you so much, Valspar and I’m sorry I never tried this before.

I don’t know what has changed about Valspar. I will NOT be buying their paint anymore! I have bought 3 gallons in the past 2 months WITH primer included and it has been the WORST coverage ever! It is taking 3 coats on wood, plaster and drywall! This has been the worst!!! I included 2 purchase receipts, but my Hubbs forgot to put in phone # for 3rd purchase.

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.
