Valspar Reviews

Valspar covers usually in one coat unless wall is badly damaged. I love how easily it spreads on the walls and ceilings. The paint just glides on the walls and the coverage is great!!

Variety and value are so important!! Nothing could be more important and it's washable. Available at Lowe's improvement store near me. That convenient and can be mixed to a huge variety of cars and textures.

The choices are great for any project I attempt whether it be outside paint, indoor paint or paint I use to refinish furniture. Pricing is excellent and the quality is amazing. This product is easily found in most of the stores I shop.

Valspar is a quality paint that I've used often and never been disappointed with. They have a thousand colors to choose from and many different textures. Honestly, you can't go wrong. ??❤

I had a number of furniture painting projects including tables, chairs, dressers and small pieces. Each were different; some prepainted in a different color, some varnished, some raw wood, etc. I didn't want to do a lot of sanding but I wanted the paint to stay on. I chose a gallon of Valspar furniture and cabinet paint in Honey Milk. I have been very happy with the coverage (none was one coat) and texture of the paint. I'm going back for another gallon in another shade of white for further projects to furnish our vacation home.

Wonderful product that covers well on first coat. Easy cleanup when messes are made. Color is exact and rich. Low odor paint makes for a pleasant experience while painting. We used several different products when painting the inside and outside of my home.

I think Valspar's paint is the best quality, and color paint on the market hands down, I would never use any other paint products than Valspar products. Valspar's colors just seem to be more vibrant and bright than other brands, and Valspar has a wide variety of colors to choose from and they all look great.

I use Valspar paint to touch up my house interior. The color matched perfectly just like the original, no trace of touch up. It has been a few years and the color stays the same. The price is reasonable too. Would recommend to everyone.

My first purchase of Valspar paint was for my retaining wall. That was 10 years ago and since then the paint has remained unfaded unchipped, and unweathered. It is a thicker paint and does require more paint for coverage than a thinner paint, but it holds and lasts longer than a thinner paint and it does not have a strong paint smell.

Terrific paint and holds up well to wiping and such. I also like that, if you you are unhappy with the color you have chosen, you can go back to Lowes and get a new gallon for free. I have used over 60 gallons of this stuff to paint our home and wouldn't go with anything else. Great product.

It goes on smooth and it covers very nicely. The paint dries quickly. It looks beautiful! Rarely do I need to apply a second coat. The paint lasts long. If there is a smidge of dirt from children's fingers, it cleans easily. The colors are endless.

I really loved VCalspar paint. Would have given a 5 until they made ALL their paints with primer. I prefer paint without primer and it goes on easier and I used the same amount or less of the paint when I put 2 coats on. The paint with primer is thicker (I expect that) but does NOT go on easier or with less streaks. There is NO WAY that I can get away with 1 coat of paint - even when I would buy the more expensive (one coat only) paint. Primer paint is more expensive, covers less area, and you still need 2 coats on your wall - thus bringing your painting costs significantly up. Valspar is still better than Behr though in my opinion.

The variety of colors is endless. Coverage is great, one coat and you're done, doesn't get much better than that. Interior and exterior paint, any texture or coverage is available, one stop shopping really.

Product has a rich color. Generally good, one layer coverage. Very good selection of colors to choose from. Unless under base coat is very dark, you don't need to prime with this paint. It's economical compared to some of the other brands.

I love the way this paint looks on my front door. It is beautiful in the light. I made a great choice. I would use this paint inside my home because it is so beautiful on the outside. I would constantly buy this product from now on.

In my opinion, it's a great middle of the line paint. Not overly expensive and it's not the cheapest. Their higher quality line in Valspar paints covers better than Kills. The durability will give you years of enjoyment.

The paint did a great job covering and I could have gotten away with one coat instead of two. It rolled on the walls beautifully smooth. The Valspar brand offers many beautiful color samples to choose from.

Tried Valspar Signature, overall good quality for the price. Thick and good coverage but I hated that it took so long to fully dry. On doors and trimming it would easily peel off when removing the masking tape, so I never get sharp edges.

Quality, consistency and ease when duplication is needed. The product speaks for itself. I'm not trying to impress anyone but it seems like someone there needs to be impressed.

Valspar offers a variety of paint products. For every budget. It offers a wide variety of colors. Valspar paint and primer in one. The paint goes on easily. It offers a durability. For easy cleaning.

We have used Valspar interior paint for years at several houses. It always has good coverage and requires less coats than other brands we have tried. We also like the variety of color choices.

I have used Valspar paint for several years and have never been disappointed. It applies easily and gives good coverage. It is also usually reasonably priced and is carried by both Lowe's and ACE.

We painted over a wall that was a very dark hunter green with beige Valspar paint and it covered in one coat. We've never used any other brand of paint since then. And recommend it to everyone. Never had any complaints.

I’ve owned the new homes and painted the interior exclusively with Valspar paint. Colors are great and coverage is the best. I have used other brands and been disappointed every time. Never with Valspar. It is my only choice.

I always used Glidden paint for many years and I had painted one wall for accent with Valspar and what a beautiful finish. I didn't need to reapply the paint and I chose satin for easier cleaning. That was two years ago and it still looks freshly painted.

One coat covers. Creamy colors. Durable. Color last. Will not fade. Easy to wash. The price is reasonable. I believe that you get what you pay for when it comes to paint.

I have tried several brands of paint and always go back to Valspar. The coverage is better, the colors are true to the paint chips and it goes on so easy. I have used Valspar in my own home and in rental property. It stands up well to children and tenants. I will continue to use Valspar.

Great place online do great things for many people. Always there to help you just get in touch with them. They are always willing to help the best they can with any purchase. I would rate them 100%. They are great people.

I love the bread and Valspar paint Sent me is the best brand. Is a great brand. I like how it Covers the wall. I also like when you use of their products I’m getting good quality your products Answer.

Reliable manufacturer. Huge variety of paint material for all finishes type, all structures and textures and all colors and shades. Prices are always fair, and coverage per gallon are accurate. Fits big jobs and small jobs, for professionals and beginners.

The variety of colors make it easy to get the look you want. The paint holds up to daily wear and use. The price is very affordable. Lowe's carries this brand and the employees with the paint department can answer any questions you may have.

Valspar has low odor which is a benefit due to family members being asthmatic. Quality of paint is great, covered with two coats. Paint color is exactly what I wanted and final project was a hit with everyone. Would definitely recommend this brand!

We bought our house last year and have been purchasing Valspar paint to repaint all the walls in our house. Their paint applies smoothly and looks beautiful on our walls. The coverage and finish quality is top notch and we have been very pleased. My wife and I love to refurbish items as well and the Valspar Chalk Paint really gives new life to vintage items.

Very happy with the ease of application, look and durability. Did the whole basement floor with it and it turned out better than I had hoped at onset. Price was fair and I will definitely trust this brand again.

Well it looks good for a year or two, but it doesn't last long and starts peeling off the primer coat. It won't come off of paint brushes without something like gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner.

This paint goes on easy. Clean up nice. Love all the colors. I used a light gray. I am very pleased with the results. I will always buy this paint. Recommend to anyone. Very little odor, drys very fast.

I have used this paint in my mobile home trailer. I've painted several walls that have had wallpaper on them. I never primed the walls, just painted over the wallpaper. Only needed two coats of paint. Haven't had any problems and it's been over 10 years.

I am remodelling my house and came across this brand at Home Depot on sale and figured was worth try. To my surprise it had the best coverage of any brand which saves me on paint In the long run.

This paint has always covered great. Looks great and is easy to apply. Enjoy very much using it!! Cleans up easily and has a great variety of colors. Some of the other brands are too thick and not much fun working with them!

Paint is very good covering product for use on Walls previously covered with wallpaper. No bleed-through and little drip stays on the brush and roller really well. Dries even and color is consistent on the surface.

I enjoy painting with Valspar paint...Quality is excellent and applies well. Price point is comparable to others paints. Once dried it holds up well and also easy to clean up. Sherwin Williams and Lowes both carry valspar paint.

I feel that Valspar paint is great quality for the price. They also have lots of ways to pick the color you want at their counters. I have used Valspar for the last 2 houses I've painted and have always been satisfied.

Valspar is the paint for me... excellent durability, good color choices... lasting paint!! Too much cannot be said about this paint... It is excellent! Along with durability, this paint lasts for years!

I paint my own house; gutters; fence and garage floor and patio floor. When I can I use Valspar paint. The paint is easy to use, clean up is easy and you can get the product at any Lowe's store. I have painted at nursing homes and they used Valspar...

Generally it is good paint. Even though it says hides in one coat, it always takes two. It goes on easily. I used it about a year ago on my home. They have more than ample colors. Their paint seems to wear well.

This is a great product. I have no complaints. I have a belief that there is always room for improvement in anything. I never rate 5 stars, otherwise companies would stop striving to do better.

The colors are exquisite. I love how beautiful the color looks in the can, it's even prettier in the walls when you're done. I also love the stain resistance. I have light colored walls in my hallway.

I purchased Valspar paint for the first time and used it to paint my outside doors. I wanted a “strawberry” color that I had seen in a decorating magazine and the associate who mixed the paint was able to get the exact color! One coat was all it took to look amazing and give my entryway to my house and garage a simple, fairly inexpensive, bright new look! So far the paint has held up extremely well considering 6 children and 3 dogs are constantly in and out both of those doors!!!

We recently added on to our house and then had to paint all of the original room because they looked terrible. I was working at Lowe’s at the time and was able to talk to one of the paint guys. He told me just what I need for each room and made some great recommendations. The house looks great now. Valspar paint really had some great coverage.

The paint is very smooth and dries beautifully. Price is decent and the color selection is very large. The colors are very rich and when applied, the paint only requires a base coat and maybe one other coat.

My experience is an amateur, I was repainting the kid's room. The paint required a few layers to get the desired effect and trying to keep everything one tone was harder than it should have been.

I purchase this paint all the time. Every time I ever purchased this paint I was satisfied. It always looks amazing. I recently used the shade Comet Dust and I am absolutely in love with the color. Valspar also had such a wide variety of colors as well.

Valspar goes on so smoothly, and one coat is all that is necessary in most cases. They offer beautiful, rich colors. They also offer a variety of qualities that fit any budget. I've always been satisfied with the paint job after using Valspar.

Paint is so sticky and wet until it dries. You only get one color per can. They should give at least 5 colors DC onto you think? What do you think that's not asking to much is it? I like fruit loops t

When we remodeled our house it was a long process to find 1st. A good quality paint. 2nd. A color that both my husband & I liked & A color that looked great in our home. Found the perfect color.

Always had a great experience with acquiring the paint in the color I want and with the quality I want. The coverage is great and long-lasting. Does not fade out over time. The price is always great too.

Depending on what you're doing they have different qualities of paint. I find the middle cost does a good job of coating in one coat. I haven't used their best because of the higher cost and I'm satisfied with what I use.

I bought this paint in different colors and painted most of my house. The paint looks beautiful and has lasted well through 3 kids.

I love what freshly painted walls give me, but ... I hate painting - usually. Even with a primer coat underneath, most house paints go on unevenly, streak and require a second coat. I started using Valspar about five years ago, and the difference in end-result AND the ease of getting there is palpable. It's like putting cream on the walls. It spreads perfectly, covers instantly and dries to the intended color. Give me Valspar - every time!

I’ve used their paint on a couple occasions and it’s always done the job I needed. I’ve done mostly exterior work and it always holds up to the weather fairly well.

Best for coverage in one coat. The extra cost is worth it in the long run when it's time to wipe down the surface to clean. I use it in all my rentals because it actually saves me time and money. Greasy handprints wipe off easily meaning I don't have to repaint as often.

I like the paint and prime Valspar. It's durable. I painted my living room with it and it has maintained its color and washes pretty easily. It is also easy to use and the variety of colors that are offered in the various types are pretty good although it would be good to offer more vibrant color schemes.

I have always enjoyed painting with Valspar paint as it seems to apply and cover nicely. The paint continues to amaze me at how well it hold up from the kitchen to the closet and even the bathroom. I have used it on cabinets and walls indoors and outdoors. As long as I prep the surface I am painting properly, the paint never fails. Sometimes I need two coats but a lot of times I can go with one. It wears well and washes well. With all kinds of colors to choose from, I have never had a problem finding just the right color for my application.

As a military family, we 'remodeled' homes for years. Valspar paints have consistency of quality that we learned to trust. Very few paints that tout 'one coat' applications actually are. It is.

It's a good quality paint. Goes on smooth. Cleans up well. The finish is good. You can wash it very good. It comes in a variety of colors and textures period. It is far more Superior than Behr...

The paint is sold by Walmart. This should be a clue to customers as to the quality to expect from the pain they are buying. Overall, a decent paint for the price.

I like Valspar because of its easy availability and price. I can get it in any color and finish I want. Valspar also has several promotional sales throughout the year. Easy to clean and long-wearing.

Love Valspar paint! My other half is a Sherwin Williams guy and he always uses soooo much more paint than I do for projects. Their one coats paints truly mean one coat and it saves so much time.

Great brand that has really made me trust the product. With great assistance on their online store, to simply applying the paint the process was seamless and easy! Furthermore, the application was smooth and the finishing look was exactly what I desired and was hoping for.

I am very pleased with the quality of Valspar paint and the price. Sometimes things are cheaper but you don't get quality, but with Valspar, economy yet good paint.

Valspar has a variety of colors that fit everyone's preference. The paint is quality and affordable which is the most desirable. I have used the paints, primers, and sealers all to my liking!

Valspar has a beautiful array of colors to choose from and gives great coverage on the walls! The paint color never fades and looks as vibrant as it did years after its application. It’s a company that you can always depend on!

I have painted many rooms and believe Clare P The paint color is consistent with the swatch, and the coverage is excellent. I'm very pleased with the outcome.

We have tried their interior and outdoor paints. Neither one holds up very well. The outdoor one started to peel after a couple months. The interior paint does not cover the wall very well.

I really love the variety of colors, hues, and types of paints they offer. It can really be used for a variety of projects. The finish always looks great.

Needed to touch up the short column on my porch. Used a quart of Valspar exterior paint on the entire thing. Then used it to touch up the trim around the front door and the wood trim around the double door garage. Still had plenty left over.

A little goes a long way. Paint was thick enough that not as many cans were required. I would definitely recommend this product. The paint plus primer worked excellent while redecorating our bathroom.

Recently used Valspar Interior/Exterior semi gloss trim paint, it laid out perfectly. Got good consistency and while not cheap was IMHO worth every penny.

I have used several different paint brands over the last 25+ years, and the one I end up going back to has been Valspar. I generally only put on one coat and get really nice coverage.

I have used this brand of paint for over 20 years and have only ever repainted for color changes. This paint is durable in all the finishes and the color selection is very abundant.

It is a high quality paint brand for rich finishes. Color are contemporary shades for any look in any part of the house. Also good for textures and effects. Suppose to be long lasting, but time will tell. Easy to clean without fading.

I've been using Valspar for many years. Professionally before and now personally. I won't use anything else. It's absolutely the best, hands down...Quality, price, ease of use, consistency from can to

They always have a great selection of colors and finishes. They are also very well priced compared to other paints. Go on well and have a nice finish.

I like Valspar because it’s a thick rich paint that normally would only need one coat also because it has primer in it, other paints you can actually see thru after one coat. You don’t have this with V.

The base color is perfect to add. Your color you pick. The color is maintained even when you go back with the same bucket of paint for touch-up work.

It's great. The rooms look beautiful and I couldn't be happier. I am excited everyday I look around I feel like I've moved to a new house. I have friends over and receive compliments all of the time. My spirits have truly been lifted.

I for one do not like bland white walls. Watching my mom growing up whenever a holiday, or changing of seasons a new look was captured in our home and painting color on the walls.

Our home flooded during Hurricane Harvey. The entire house was gutted. Valspar was the paint brand used on all of the interior walls and ceilings.

In my past time, I like to repurpose furniture. I have found that Valspar has a paint for every type of piece that I want to repurpose. In addition, the colors are always vibrant & rich once applied.

Valspar has been a great go to for jobs with a slight budget focus. While the more expensive competitors offer a slightly higher quality, it is not matched by the value by dollar.

I recently purchase some Valspar Paint in 2 different colors. Both the white and the gray were easy to apply to the walls. There was no odor and the coverage looks great. Seemed to dry quickly. The price was reasonable and I will buy it again.

I did a lot of research before painting my house I just bought. I found that Valspar had a wide variety of colors to choose from, and I liked the finished product. Good stuff!

I have had great success with the Valspar products that I've used in the past. I think Valspar paint covers really well and is reasonably priced.

I used it outdoors on both wood and cement board siding. I got custom colors that were repeatable. They covered the raw material completely with one coat. I was impressed!

We recently painted a very dark room with Valspar's Signature paint after a recommendation from the sales clerk. We loved it! One coat did it.

I bought Valspar Ultra Semi-gloss, 2 gallons. I put nearly two gallons of paint on the master bathroom that was not much bigger than a walk in closet. It took 6 coats to cover a medium grey flat paint, put on when home was new 1.5 years ago. Surprised, every time I looked at the finished product, it wasn't finished. It was bleeding through and would not cover, especially the trimming I did along the ceiling, baseboards, etc. 2 gallons to paint maybe 40 sq. ft.? The associate at the paint desk at Lowe's said if I had bought the best they had, it would have covered in 2 coats. Really? That is all you have? Never again.

I have used Valspar paint in almost all my home projects. It goes on well and protects my home, both inside and outside. It is a little pricey, but the protection it affords.

I recently had my rather long fence and storage building painted. We used Valspar purchased from Lowe's. I love the color and the coverage.

The paint is exceptional and stands up to tough stains especially in our children's playroom. No chipping or bubbling highly recommended.

Valspar is a wonderful paint to use for modern colors, durability and a fresh look to your home. There are a variety of colors and sheens, this is a decorator's top choice!

If you want smooth, color saturated paint that compares to the most expensive brands, try Valspar. I prefer the primer+paint variety, it has an impressive spread rate.

Valspar paint is consistent with their quality and always reasonably priced. I have used it for many years and I have never been let down.

Valspar has been a very high quality paint for us. Our previous home is still yellow from being painted over 10 years ago. Covers well, keeps its shade, & buy on sale.

I think that some paint brand make them thick but that does not determine the level of pigment. Valspar has great pigment and coverage.

I really like the color choices and the affordable price. The paint goes on nicely and holds up pretty well. Used to paint a kid's room and held up against cleaning.

I love this paint, it's so amazing. Yay. So many colors. I spilled some once and it made a giant mess but overall so nice, really loved it.

We’ve always purchased Valspar and never had any issues until the last two times we’ve used this paint. In May 2019 we painted our master bath. The walls now look like crackle paint was applied and long streaks in several areas gives the appearance of dried water stains running down wall, and the condition continues to deteriorate. This has never been an issue previously. In January of 2020, we had our downstairs living area painted as part of a reconstruction insurance claim. We chose eggshell which what we always use.

Purchased Valspar Pristine in plain white to paint my bathroom. What a horrible experience! It streaks. It takes like 3 coats before there is sufficient coverage. Almost 50 bucks down the toilet! Don't buy this product.

I experienced negative results with this product in the past (Valspar Signature Satin Interior Latex), but thought I'd give it another shot. I applied a compatible primer to molding and small cabinet doors. I applied the primer in the AM and waited 24 hours before painting. It was thoroughly dry. I applied the paint and allowed it to dry overnight before attempting applying a second coat. I noticed the paint was still very tacky after 8 hours in temperatures in the mid to high 80's. This is why I waited until the following day to give it a second coat. Unfortunately, it was still tacky and even tacky the day after that.

I used this paint, Gloss White, on the Hardie Board exterior siding I have on my home. I first prep'ed the surface by washing the wall with "Tide w/ bleach". I sealed the roofline and side edges with DAP Alex Plus 40 year caulk. Then I painted the wall with Kiltz water base white primer to give the Valspar oil base Enamel paint good adhesion. The Valspar enamel was a little "thick" straight out of the gallon can. I poured about a "pint" of paint out of the gallon can into one of those plastic paint mixing buckets they sell in the paint section.

I purchased a charcoal grey/almost black Valspar Simplicity semi-gloss paint from Lowe’s. I used it to paint wood which had been previously stained and coated with polyurethane. Prior to painting, I thoroughly sanded the piece so the paint would adhere. I used a sponge brush to avoid brush strokes. The paint went on well and the color is exactly what I wanted. The problem is, after 4 days, the paint remains very tacky. It would definitely attract and hold dust and so is unacceptable. I contacted Valspar customer service who said the initial cure requires 5 days and can take up to 45 days to cure. I will give it a few more days then will be asking for a refund. I consider it a waste of $30.

The paint, Valspar Signature, Ultra White did not cover as expected. I could still see the old paint underneath. The worse part was trying to clean up the brush and roller after, I used a good quality brush and roller. I could not get them clean. I had to throw them in the garbage. I will not buy this paint again.

We bought 6 gallons of Valspar Signature semi gloss paint from Lowe’s. We pulled down trim, missed, and textured walls. I read these reviews and almost had a heart attack but the reviews couldn't be more off base. We chose Juniper Breeze and it only needed one coat. The kitchen and living area were done in Coconut milk and it barely needed a second coat. My husband is now taking the tape off of the walls and it is beautiful!! I don’t know if the others maybe didn’t prep correctly, or if they didn’t cut the tape before pulling it off (which would pull the paint off). We will continue to use Valspar for the rest of our home.

Years ago I used this paint and it did not cover with 4 coats! Then up on cleaning my brushes and tools, many pigments in the paint already dried and will dry in the brush before you even put it on the surface you are trying to paint! These dried up pigments in the brush can not be washed out with water or nothing so you can reuse the brush soon after. The brush has to completely dry, then you have to keep slapping the brush to get them to fall out of the brush you use in the paint. I am doing a small job now that the customer bought this same paint that I had for years because of this reason, stayed away from. Still after many years this product is complete junk! It has cost me so far this job $75 worth of good brushes! Stay away from this product! It should banned from being made and sold!

I really wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this product. I assumed that since it was the primary brand sold by Lowe’s and it had a very high price tag, it should be good stuff. I bought one gallon of the Signature paint to start covering the new walls in our recently renovated basement following flooding this fall. Upon completion of the largest wall, it looked terrible, very blotchy with uneven covering. I went back to the store and shared my disappointment with them. It was suggested that I move up one level to the Sherwin Williams Showcase paint and was given a “deal” since I needed two more gallons. Unfortunately, the results were the same, even with an extra coat of primer. In all my years of painting, I have never had such bad luck. My hope right now is simply that when we have everything back in the room, it won’t be so noticeable. I could not afford and do not have the time to start over. I will not ever use this paint again.

I cannot believe how much I hate this finish. Unfortunately, you don’t realize your mistake until it is too late. I applied the first coat, as instructed. 80% of my kitchen, including 14’ vaulted ceilings were covered. The coverage was very poor and I knew right away this was going to take more than 2 coats. I disliked the distribution of the sand texture. It was either very thin, or bunched all up. After that coat dried enough to touch, I was NOT happy. It feels like 60 grit sandpaper! I thought maybe a second coat would even it out and make the texture more tolerable. Nope. Still sandpaper. The thought of sanding all of this off was pretty daunting. So, I used a product requiring troweling over the top. It would not cover it. The grit to this is very substantial.

This is the worst paint I have ever purchased in the last 40 yrs. I bought semi gloss kitchen paint. It did not cover, it peeled off after one coat a week later. The shade/color on the can did not match the walls. The $35.97 I paid for the gallon was ridiculous!! I would never recommend this to anyone.

We recently had our bathroom redone and bought Valspar ceiling paint at the recommendation of Lowes Home Improvement Center. Within a few weeks of the contractor sanding the ceiling and applying a primer, and two coats of Valspar paint, the paint was peeling off of the ceiling. Although the product failed, the Product Support Department reimbursed us for the cost of labor as well as the cost of the paint. I am disappointed in their product, but they showed me integrity by paying me back 100%. I deducted one star because it did take over 60 days to get the money after the online claim was filed. In addition, I had to reject their initial offer to reimburse for the paint only. With that said, they made the proper restitution and I give them credit for fixing their problem.

I bought the Valspar paint for difficult surfaces to paint a wooden mirror frame. It was expensive paint so I thought it would cover in a couple of coats, but it didn’t. It took 5 coats and still would not cover properly. B&Q should not sell this product as it does not work. I think the product should be removed from sale until it is reviewed and improved. I feel cheated and wish I could start again with an ordinary primer and undercoat. It just scrapes off even if gently sanded.

If you were thinking of buying Valspar paint from B&Q, don't. Just don't. If I could give it zero stars, I would. We have spent over £300 on one specific paint (it was a particular colour that we specifically wanted, and we paid for the premium top quality mix) and it is the most awful, shoddy, not fit for purpose paint that we have ever come across. It pitches itself as High Performance, premium quality paint when in reality It doesn't even perform as well as cheap white emulsion, and that makes us very unhappy. We paid extra to have the supposedly durable, Hard-wearing, wipable formula of Valspar paint that is suitable for all types of surfaces and with a soft sheen finish... Well I can tell you that all it's suitable for is flushing down the loo.

Used Valspar paint 10 years ago. Was thick and covered with one coat, so used it again. 10 years later now and it is crap. They have changed it. Used the top of the line signature paint and prime from a off white to ultra white and it didn't cover. Had to do second coat on interior 1400 sq foot home. Cost me a lot of money. Watered down watery paint. Very upset. Why did they make it so watery and thin. Will never buy again. Will use Sherwin Williams or Behr paint next time. Don't waste your money. Valspar sucks...

Worst paint I have ever used! Going back to Kelly Moore! Valspar DOES NOT cover in 1 coat as claimed. It is full of plastic bits that get onto the walls and ceilings. It is a bad paint all the way around! TOTAL AND COMPLETE WASTE OF $$$!!!!

I purchased Valspar Signature High Hiding paint with primer. I was covering a light tan walls with white. I was told because I asked specifically if it covered in one (1) coat, I was assured it did. IT DIDN’T! Don’t waste your money and time on Valspar paints.

Prepped my ceiling, applied sheet rock sealer and primer, applied color changing ceiling paint in white. Ceiling is now white and yellow stripes no less. I am angry, a lot of time and Money wasted. You are better off going to Sherwin Williams. In the long run you spend less time and Money.

This is the 2nd time I had purchased Valspar paint from our local hardware store and both times I have had nothing but problems with the paint. The shade color that I gave never matched when it was on the wall and actually was quite different and this time the paint was like water. We shook it. We stirred it. We dump that. We tossed it and something's wrong with it.

Worst paint ever. Waited until a period with no rain in the forecast and temperatures within the range indicated on the can. Painted 10 days ago. Porch floor still sticky to the point that a paper towel accidentally dropped on it stuck and I could hardly get all the paper bits removed when I discovered the paper towel. REVIEW POSTED JULY 16, 2019

Not happy.. I've painted for 50 years and I just finished painting the inside walls and trim of a 1000 square foot house with Valspar Signature paint and primer. I use Purdy expensive brushes and have thrown away 6 $23.00 dollar brushes because the paint builds up in the stock of the brush in about 2 hours and hardens and the brush flares out where it is impossible to use a great angle brush to paint. No more of this paint. It covers great and looks good but who wants to spend $150 dollars for brushes when 1 brush should work and be used on the next job. Especially for such a small job. Very very unhappy.

I’d have preferred no stars, but had to give something. Had several rooms decorated using Valspar, over a period of a few months from around December 2018 to Feb 2019. One room, painted using white cliffs, mixed & brought from B&Q Welwyn Garden City in December 2018, started to develop the cats wee smell a few months ago. Just one room.. It’s worse when I have the back doors open. I have spoken to Valspar who were unhelpful. Again Levy (mentioned before) basically said he was the most senior & there was nothing wrong with the paint. I therefore contacted B&Q, as I brought the paint from them. Equally unhelpful, I have now written to them formally citing the CCA act, they have said I should just go back to Valspar. This was after several bouts of correspondence, they have even blamed me, for not using Valspar primer.

This paint was recommended to me by Ace Hardware for an exterior door and door frame. We spent two days sanding and removing the old paint and getting it prepped. Got to work with the new paint, and was shocked to see how thick it was and that it goes on clumpy. I figured it was supposed to be like that to protect exterior wood. It dried terrible, lumps and all the brush strokes. I returned it for the $46 I wasted. Got home and spent two hours re sanding and vacuuming the mess. Total waste of time! Worst product. Called back to Ace to ask the manager to call me Monday, I’d like a gift card or something for the four hours I lost returning, going to Home Depot for Behr paint (went on excellent), sanding and cleaning up. Ace clerk said they are discontinuing Valspar, but were selling the last cans! So they know it’s crap but went ahead and ruined my day by selling it to me. No more Ace for me.

I used a yellow paint with primer to paint over a light blue. I needed to use three coats of paint. Took over two days for a bedroom. I still see a blue hue in a few areas. I used a beige with primer for an interior garage wall that was white. Again needed three coats. I used an orange exterior with primer for my front door. I did paint it with primer, since it was dark brown. Still took two coats. Bottom line, Valspar with primer is worthless; you need to prime before using this paint.

Valspar US is not admitting that they're still selling cans of paint with the strong cat urine smell problem. We bought the 2000 paint for two large rooms in our home and hired professional painters to make sure it was properly applied. The painters who did a couple other rooms in our home with different paint were suddenly complaining about the Valspar 2000. The supervisor brought me to the rooms and showed me how watery and little coverage one gallon of the paint was getting, even with our original walls being eggshell white. He said if we let him use his usual Sherwin Williams, it would have taken 2 gallons to coat the space in 1 coat or 4 gallons for 2 coats. He ended up needing to buy 5-6 gallons of Valspar to get rid of the streaks it was leaving. We're mortified we made them use Valspar because we trusted the brand.

We painted our house 2 years ago after we had flooded. We chose Valspar because we thought it was a good quality and that’s what Lowe’s has. Fast forward till now and all I’ve had are issues with this peeling. One little scratch from my kids and the paint on the whole wall just rips away. This is crap since my whole house is in this stuff. If it gets wet and bubbles up you can bet my whole window can just peel away. This paint is awful and I’m not sure how I can get this stuff off my walls altogether. I would not recommend buying at all.

I purchased two gallons Valspar 2000 flat white paint and primer. I had to cover a very colorful large mural. I sanded and prepped. I applied two coats. It went on with no problem. I purchased two gallons of Valspar Signature paint and primer for the finish coat. Two days had elapsed since I put on the primer. The paint seemed very thick and would not adhere properly. The paint pulled up on the roller and you couldn't fix it. It just got worse. I had to leave the globs and bare spots. This occurred when rolling and overlapping with less than a minute between rolls on a 60 degree day. Not sure what to do now. Just sitting here watching it dry.

I just purchased this paint for my daughter's room a week ago. The paint went on the wall much darker than the swatch I picked out. It was supposed to be a light grey, turned out to be a grey, blue, magenta color. UGLY. Then came the worst part. I only painted a portion of the room before I decided to take the paint back to Lowe's for a refund, but the very pungent paint smell was nothing I have experienced before (and I've painted many rooms in my lifetime). It stunk up the entire house! I am going to try the Magnolia Home paint at Ace Hardware.

The paint was thin and covered very poorly, difficult and time-consuming to apply. Dried too quickly at temperature of 65 degrees F, such that peeled off and formed globules when overlapping painting, after less than 5 minutes between brush strokes. Shade of white varies a lot when dry. Even when using Valspar primer. Had to use 4 coats to get anything like a decent finish, even with using Valspar primer. Overall a poor paint and very time-consuming bad experience.

Purchased and used this paint June 2018, shortly thereafter off and on I began to smell what l thought was a damp mouldy, cat wee kind of smell. The following months seen me visit my doctor on numerous occasions for mainly for headaches and fatigue. I've had countless blood tests, blood pressure checks and even a brain/head MRI scan all coming up with nothing. So fast forward to April 2019 when l am thinking about some more decorating and searching the internet and l come across the stories about Valspar paint and other peoples problems/health. So the question I'm asking does anyone feel they have been made permanently ill? Is anyone still suffering after redecorating? Does anyone even know what the fumes are being given off? i.e what chemical. Also considering they have pretty much admitted liability (by giving refunds?) Has anyone sued? All comments are much appreciated. Email **

Found a colour card the perfect shade to match my wall sample from my living room, went over to the counter to buy a tin, the lady at the counter insisted that I should use Valspar's colour matching instead. When I got home and started to paint the wall it was a completely different colour to what I wanted. Valspar won't refund my money unless I buy another tin of paint the same size but as I had lost faith in the company I only bought tester pots of the colour that I initially picked out in the first place to cover up the wrong colour that they sold me so now they won't give my money back for the first tin and I just feel ripped off!

Approx. 2 seasons ago I painted my new garage floor with your concrete paint. I followed instructions to the letter and even let the concrete cure for almost 4 months before painting it. I etched it twice, rinsed thoroughly, let it dry for three extra days with the overhead heater on. From the first time I drove a car in, it made permanent black stains that have not come up. Then the floor started to peel where the car sits, now it is peeling in other spots. There are large brown stains that won't come up. The only traffic the floor sees is my personal car - there has been no grinding, no heat, no nothing that should affect a decent floor paint. As of yesterday, I have cleaned the floor three times and it looks like-awful. I defy you telling me anything that I did that was wrong. What a disappointment - I will never use any Valspar product again. Wallace **.

After a hot day we opened the door to our girl's bedroom to get a bad smell of cat urine. As per other complainants we blamed one of the cats but could not find any wet areas after clearing the room. Washed the walls in case the cat sprayed there but the whole wall smelled and got worse when the window was opened. Waiting for Valspar customer services to come back with a solution as we have painted the main kitchen wall with Valspar paint but hoping it was a different batch.

This is the worst paint I've ever dealt with. Does not cover good, dries splotchy, some areas shiny, others dull. Three to four coats on each wall and still doesn't dry right. Have never had trouble with painting a room as I did with this paint.

I wanted to paint an oak bar that my husband had built and went into Lowe's to look for paint. They recommended Valspar. Bought the paint and primer and started my project. Priming went well, started to paint, noticed that the paint seemed to smear somewhat, had to roll over several times. First coat dried kind of splotchy, did not surprise me to much as I was using a rich dark red, applied second coat. After drying time, again still noticed parts that were not unified in color, put on third coat. This was hours apart, more than the drying time even recommended on the label for re-coating.

Did all the prep work needed for my bathroom remodel. Hours of sanding, spackling, etc and textured, primed and painted with Valspar. Both Valspar primer and paint. We went to take off the painter's tape and the paint came with. All the paint peeled off like a sheet of plastic. Easier to peel off than paint in the first place. Splotchy in places. Would take paint off when you painted over the 1st coat. Stayed tacky and never fully cured. Absolute nightmare. First and last time ever painting with Valspar.

I purchased Valspar concrete stain 2 years ago. Lasted about 12 mos. (failure no. 1) Wanted to remove and resurface so TRIED to contact their customer service (TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS) and failure number 2, when they finally replied to my inquiry... the idiot suggested a stripper that works on WOOD and to treat AFTER REMOVAL with a product specific to WOOD! After 15 years with a Sherwin-Williams account I QUIT THEM! OVERPRICED AND NOT WORTH MESSING WITH.

This is the first time using Valspar primer paint, Signature brand. Without exception it is the worst paint I have ever used! I5 took 4 coats to cover a sanded TSP washed linen White semigloss paint with Signature Semigloss. It clumps while being applied, leaves deep brush strokes, from foam, pad, fine bristle, even roller applications, sanding between coats with 250 grit, very lightly applied just rubbed off the cost in chunks! I have painted throughout my life, never have had such a poor product.

This junk paint is like water and just drips then it dries so fast you cant feather out the drips. My wood surround that I built for my fireplace needs to be sanded down to fix all the indentations from brush contact and drips. Don't buy Valspar High Gloss Ultra White Paint because you will be doing everything all over again. Save the headaches.

I have never even consider looking up reviews of a brand of paint until today - but this paint is terrible! I would give it no stars if I could. It’s thin and watery - even the gloss - it’s as likely to take paint back off as it is to put it on - and if you add more to try to get a covering it drips everywhere. I had to do 3 coats of gloss and spent all day doing it and it’s still patchy and needs another one - and I need to sand off the drips too. I then tried with the matte on the wall and that was just as bad - I’ve never used paint that is so useless- I’m planning on taking it back to B&Q tomorrow to get my money back

I painted 2 large bedrooms with Valspar emulsion to the walls and to the woodwork their so called gloss... It took me 3 days and 4 coats to cover a very neutral colour emulsion on the walls and it was still patchy... Then it peeled in places as did the gloss from the top of one of the doors. All of which had been prepared properly. When I took the paint back to B&Q (including empty tins) I was in no mood to be told that there were no refunds on paint products... sufficed to say that I left the store with a full refund. NEVER AGAIN!!! Be insistent and get your hard earned cash back!
