In reply to Joyce.

Hi Joyce, as far as I know Valspar paints are not just base paints. But I would recommend going back to the retailer where you bought the paint just to double check.

[…] didn’t have such grey overtones. I hot-footed it to B&Q to pick up colour chips from the Valspar counter so that I could find a new colour palette that would work in the space and with the light. […]

Hi Ursula, no this is not a sponsored post. I was invited by Valspar to attend my local B&Q to find out more about the paint. As I had bought my first home shortly before and was looking to decorate i was interested to know more about the paint brand and the benefits it offers.
I thought that as the brand is so popular in the US and is new to the UK that my readers might be interested to know more about it as I was. I did not receive payment for this post although I was given some paint to try out at home. I will be posting about my experience with the paint in another post and this one will be clearly marked as a collaborative post. I hope that clears things up for you? Any more questions I will happily answer them for you.

I have used the premium paint – two colours – to paint my bedroom. The paint covers beautifully, BUT I noticed that it skinned really quickly, so before the upstroke was applied, the paint had bits in – as if using a brush from yesterday that had dried a bit. This left bits in the wall although they were new brushes and clean walls. Be careful not to stroke too much! Looks great though.

I have visited B & Q and given them a sample of high gloss burgandy kitchen doors from the late MFI to scan
and found that they cannot scan it correctly as it is gloss. I have taken off the gloss to make it matt finish to enable a scan.
The result are wrong … so what do I do to get a real match for my gloss? The maxim saying that Valspar can copy any colour is therefore not correct.
CAN ANYONE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ?
