Valspar interior paint

Fantastic product, well worth the money, would highly recommend.

Good Tester pot, and lots of it.

good service and the sample was a good match. Quantity was more than enough. Can be applied with a proper brush or roller, not the foam inserts that you get with some testers, so the finish is also comparable to the final results.

Additional paint for touch ups

I have used this product in the past and am delighted with it

Great colour once dried…needs quite a few coats

Was shocked at the wet colour on the walls but once dried goes very dark so don’t let the vivid colour put you off. Did need quite a few coats to get the best finish we could but there was still one or two areas which weren’t even and we could have chased it endlessly all round the room.

Expensive but looks good.

I bought this product as part of a redecoration. The paint was expensive, but it the colour looks good and the coverage has been decent. I have done 2 layers and I am pleased with how it is looking.

Great product, but not the right colour for us!

I bought this tester pot to see if we liked the colour before buying the full sized one. Unfortunately it’s not the right colour but it’s good quality, offers great coverage & goes on smoothly & easily.

Awful product avoid

We bought the valspar premium paint and decorated my sons room, the paint is awful you can brush past it and the wall is marked and you have paint on you, bits fall of if knocked even in the slightest way. This paint is supposedly scrubable and it's the worst paint we have ever used. We are now out of pocket as we have to redecorate it all agen, don't waste any time or money on this brand. Emailed valspar pictures and they said they test the batch against others and its not affected. They should come and see for theirselfs. Absolutely unacceptable response for a faulty product that has caused damages.

Fantastic Service

The service I have received from all B&Q staff when being in the paint department has been fantastic. They advised on colours, sheens, qualities etc. Paint really high quality too, only needed 2 coats to top old paint

Great size tester pots

Have just purchased my first house so these tester pots are great for deciding colours. Good size too!

Good Product

While the product is good, I feel that the cost of the sample pot should be deducted from any subsequent purchase of a larger pot.
