Valspar has asked us to find 150 Mumsnet users to test Valspar Premium Blend v700™ Walls & Ceilings paint.

Here’s what Valspar has to say: “Put Valspar Premium Blend v700™ Walls & Ceilings Paint to the test. Blend v700 promises to give you ultimate coverage, pure colour and splatter resistance. With excellent scrubbability and great stain resistance means Blend v700™ withstands the toughest household stains from felt tips to black coffee, making it perfect for busy homes and high-traffic rooms, such as children’s bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways. With long-term performance you can rely on, your colour will stay true for years to come. As well as being available in a variety of finishes, including matt, mid-sheen and silk, the Valspar unique colour matching technology can replicate any colour the eye can see - that's 2.2 million shades! Choose a colour that's personal to you and your family - be it the shade of a festive Christmas bauble, or a favourite ornament, simply take the item to your local B&Q and its exact colour can be scanned and recreated in paint form.”

This product test is open to UK MNers who are homeowners and are available to paint their room and give feedback by the 22nd January 2021.

Selected testers will be sent a voucher for a 2.5L tin of Valspar Premium Blend v700™Walls & Ceilings, redeemable at B&Q. Testers will need to paint a room or wall in their home and share their feedback via a thread on Mumsnet as well as by completing a short survey. All selected testers who give the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £100 voucher.

If you’re interested in taking part, please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck!

Justine@JustineBMumsnet why home owners only? Not that I want the paint!

I'd love the chance to try this paint even if it is only 2.5 litres, this would be enough for the loo or maybe the landing. If I like the quality of the paint, I've got a lot more painting to do before spring, I'll likely buy more to do all the other rooms that need a new coat of paint!

I'd like to know when they are letting us know too. They aren't going to get much in the way of photos and feedback by 22nd at this rate.

If England is going to be going into lockdown, following Scotland (where it is to at least the end of January), I don't see how the testers could complete their decorating project by 22 January Confused, especially as part of the Valspar USP is its colour matching which is very good Sad

I suspect that the promotion/testing will have to wait Sad

I was wondering too if they might hold back on the product test because of the potential lockdown.

Shame if they do ( as I'll have to dig out some leftover paint from a previous project instead as I really need to get on with this job).

Mind you, there's always other rooms I can do!

Why would they do that?

Painting and decorating went though the roof last lockdown

One of the key USPS of Valspar is its colour matching - and anyway, all their paints (even their own colour chip ones) are mixed to order. As far as I know, that can only fo that in-store - and DIY stores are shut (at least they are here in Scotland). Click & Collect is available - but you would only be able to supply pre-mixed paints ConfusedSad

Has anyone heard anything about this yet? If they want a room painted by the 22nd of January, they're cutting it fine.

I haven't heard anything, assuming I've either not been picked or it's been postponed because valspar counters probably aren't open in lockdown x
