Verified Reviewer | Brevard, North CarolinaRecommendation RE: Paint Samples
I encourage you to increase the quality of your paint samples. The poor quality of the product reflects badly on Valspar products.
Most of us do not need 8oz, you could make them smaller. As an alternative, you could include a statement that acknowledges the samples are not a reflection of the quality of Valspar paints and are a cheap imitation that serves only as a vehicle for sampling color.
I'm a retired painting contractor. My wife asked me to paint the kitchen cabinets, but was unsure about color. We were delighted to find we could buy a sample tinted to our choice.
We bought samples of two colors. I removed a cabinet door sanded and primed it with Zinsser Bulls-Eye 1-2-3 (2 coats, sanded between). I applied two coats of the first color, but she did not like it with the new counter top. No problem, I lightly sanded it with 100 grit, then wiped the sanding dust off with a wet painter's rag.
The topcoat peeled! It did not bond with the primer, though the primer bonded beautifully with the door. I took the door into the dealer to express my dismay and see if this was normal. He acknowledged that the sample paint is inferior and that they have complained to the company.
Years of applying paint, and I've never seen anything so poor. Even the cheapest contractor paints have never peeled off with a wet rag.
I'm not asking for a refund, simply recommending you make a change that that will reflect to the public that your products are worthy worthy.
Preferred solution: Just an acknowledgement that the right decision maker has received and considered my recommendation.
User's recommendation: Know that Valspar sample paint is inferior to the product you will buy for your project.
Very upset/ angry
I give a big 0!! Their cat *** paint smell has ruined 2 pieces of old loved furniture I refinished!
I didn't know it was the paint on the cabinet I painted until I painted my mom's (deceased) kitchen table after days and days of stripping sanding, sealer. Things that cause me a lot of pain. Nothing compared to realizing after all that, that it's the same cat *** smell of the cabinet I restored the year prior, never knowing it was the paint giving it that smell. Worse after humid days.
I decided I will have to try &; sell the cabinet, heartbreaking cuz I've had it since the 80's and FIL had it since the 60's-70's?! My mom's table smell literally made me cry! I have done so much work already on it. I don't know how to start all over again!
I'm crushed and heartbroken.
I wish I would have read about the paint sooner! How do you even compensate for the time and lost furniture keepsakes!
