Worst paint ever

The worst primer/undercoat I’ve ever used. It’s like water and has just created more work for me. Don’t buy.

Valspar - The Liz Truss of Paint Products

This primer is genuinely terrible. Easy to put on, but as soon as you paint your regular or paint on top (after the primer has dried), it immediately starts to blister and puff up like psoriasis. It’s so frustrating as I’ve now had to sand off all the primer from the skirting boards and architrave. Genuinely embarrassing for such a big company to be selling such a below par product. Never again. I would give the product zero stars if I could. It that bad.

Good Finish

Easy application with Good coverage with two coats applied first it made the gloss top coat a really perfect smooth look.

Worked well

I purchased this to prime plywood and it worked well. Not sure why some reviews are saying it is quite thin. I found it quite thick and the first coat gave a nice coverage.

Very disappointing product

I tried this primer/undercoat as Dulux not available. It was very thin but needed 3 coats to cover my wooden unit. When I then put my Satin paint which was my final cover on it looked like it was blistering the raised and has left the paint lumpy. I had prepared my unit with my electric sander then washed the unit. I will not be buying any Valspar products again after wasting all my time. I would have given no stars if I could for this product.

Buy another product

Picked it up in a hurry as couldn’t see the normal dulux on the same shelf, wish I hadn’t now. The paint is really thin and takes 2-3 coats and runs really badly. I would recommend purchasing dulux trade wood primer instead as that goes on in one. Iv also previously used cheap wood primer from a discount store and it’s better than this valspar stuff.

Brilliant Primer! Even up against MDF!!

I was really dubious about using this product given so many scathing review's, but I’m glad I did! Bought this primer for wall panelling that I had constructed from MDF before painting as it’s not the best surfaces for paint adhesion. I sanded down each piece to key the surface, wiped with a slightly damp cloth before application & I can’t recommend this primer enough! Great adhesion (onto MDF!!) with even coverage leaving a brilliant base for two final coats of Valspar paint! No complaints here whatsoever on this project.

Save yourself time and buy another brand

Bought two tins, the first tin was okay, not as good coverage as dulux but seemed okay, second tin absolutely shocking - very runny, barely any coverage, drips everywhere and just seems to run off the wood! Very inconsistant and messed up my evenings work to do - returning opened second tin as is useless!
