Fit For Muliple Surfaces
I really wish B&Q would sort their reviews out!!! Everytime I read a review section, it seems to have reviews from a variety of products. So, to be clear, this is a review of Valspar Trade Interior Primer & Undercoat Dark Grey. It says its for walls and ceilings, but I've used it on wood, mdf, hardboard, plasterboard and even over old oil based paint on a radiator. It's thick, but has a fantastic flow and spread. It's not an incredibly dark grey while wet, but does dry a bit darker. I've used lots of different books and dark colours over the top of this and never had a problem with colour consistency, flashing or needed more than 2 coats (apart from a job i did where the customer insisted on a Dulux standard emulsion, but that's cos it's the worst paint out there lol - if you know, you know lol). Just doing a job with it at the moment and the client is colour drenching her hallway and stairs in Valspar "Nevermore" just finished priming the banister & spindles and I wish I could upload a picture of what this printer looks like dry. Perfect, solid, grey. Over years of oil-based white gloss (yellow really). Just done my final scratch tests and it's bonded beautifully. Cheaper than zinsser, better than Dulux, and a proper all rounder to use when priming interior surfaces, ready for bold and dark colours. Amazing stuff!!!

A great colour blocker
I love all Valspar Trade paints. This primer is excellent to for hiding bold colours especially when your applying a completely different finished colour. It hid the green great and the grey was a great base coat for the blue. It was lovely to apply by brush and roller with handly and overspray

Great value paint
I bought this after shopping around and the price for what you get is fantastic. Great coverage and a great base for our black paint.

Excellent primer- mix well
This is an excellent primer. I used it under Downpipe on various surfaces. Looks pale until you mix it.

Worst primer and undercoat
Purchased this today, as I got a Valspar top coat for the front door. Considering it was a trade paint, I had high hopes. (Or even just reasonable expectations, as I usually use Dulux). I have never been so disappointed with anything paint related. It says on the tin “excellent opacity” which could not be further from the truth. I got a “dark grey” as the final color was going to be quite dark. When I opened the tin, it was literally the color of ash. So I was disappointed at first look, but thought I would give it a try. After 2 coats, you still can hardly even see that it’s gone on! Don’t waste your money or frustrations on this product.

Thick, certainly not dark grey
Bought a few weeks ago, it's think and i'd call this a light grey - certainly not dark grey. Perhaps it was just the batch I got - i'm about order some more so i'll feed back if it's a different colour! Perfect for what i need, even if not dark grey.

Trade product YES
Very good coverage drys quick, is thick, not sure what the others are saying (watery?) not the can I got, just need to shake very well!!! Only issue is its not dark grey at all, medium grey at best however doesn’t impact top coat, so not an issue.
