We have used valspar in most of the rooms in the house.  I think it is one of the best paints at the $25 range.  We were not very pleased with Bher, and Glidden has been the worst paint I used, so far.  It basically flaked off in various spots (mostly edges.  We are very pleased with valspars quality... review »

My husband and I decided to have all the interior of our home painted at one time. Valspar Signature colors at Lowe's seemed like the best value for $30/gallon. We chose Linen for our living areas and Kraft Paper for the hallway and two of the bedrooms. Every room has required two coats of this "one... review »

Over the course of the last 5-7 years, my husband and I have used only Valspar paints on both interior and exterior surfaces of our homes.  After trying other brands previously, we found the Valspar paint brand to splatter less, cover better, and look great!  Valspar's "American Traditions" is the type we use most often on the interior of our home.  It's always done a terrific job for us.  We use satin on the walls and semi-gloss on the trim work. 

As for the exterior of the house, I believe we used Valspar's DuraMax exterior paint in Satin and the Semi-gloss on the trim.  It's... ...

I've bought Valspar paint for years and it was only after a momentary switch to another brand that made me appreciate it all the more.  I recently repainted my living room from a moss green to cream with a blue accent wall.  I picked to shades from Lowe's Valspar brand of paint and love them.  The paint was thick and covered the green with absolutely no problem at all.  The cream took an additional coat but I had expected that as the green was a medium hue.

The only problem I had was the ditsy salesperson I started with at Lowe's but she passed the buck to someone else when she couldn't answer...

Love this paint....

I have used gallon after gallon of this paint without any problems. It goes nicely on the wall and the coverage is good. There are a fantastic amount of colours to choose from and each come with several different sheens.

I actually bought 5 gallons of this paint 3 years ago and still have some left, the colour and texture are still the same as the day I bought it. I have tried several different brands of interior paint, but I keep coming back to Valspar.

Some of the problems with the other brands are too watery, dry too quick, don't go on the wall smoothly or are difficult...

I was very, very disappointed in this product! I usually buy the cheap $10/gal stuff at Wal-Mart but REALLY didn't have time or the energy to put a second coat on so I decided to spend the extra money and bought the more expensive $26/gal Valspar paint at Lowe's to try to save time and trouble. I was extremely disappointed! I was going from an off-white to a tan....not a lot of change so you would think that it would cover good...I was wrong. I put the paint on as thick as I possibly could and still had to put a second coat on probably 75% of the room. I think one of the things that irritates...

I bought this paint at Lowes. The associate recommended this paint for my bathroom remodel. It is mold resistant, easy to clean and has a satin finish. The room looks great!! The satin finish is perfect for a small bathroom and 6 months later, it still looks new.

I purchased the Valspar paint for masonry.  The price was compariable to other masonry paint.  The Valspar paint was purchased for my basement floor.  When using the paint I noticed that the paint went on very smoothly and covered the floor easily.  The Valspar paint was also very easy to clean up off the brushes and off the hands.  It was so easy that I was even able to have my 7 year old daughter and 11 year old son help with the painting and the clean up and I did not have to worry about the floor not being covered properly and also not having to worry about clean up.  I did not have...

This brand offers poor coverage. And the paint peels after just a few weeks. Spend the extra money and get a brand you know.
