Valspar® Unveils New Spray Paint Formula and Design

CHICAGO, Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Valspar Corporation, a leader in the paint and coatings industry, introduces a breakthrough new spray paint formula and spray can design. The innovative changes introduced to the new Valspar Spray Paint allow consumers to discover the transformative power in color more easily than ever.

"Our new Valspar Spray Paint is based on extensive research into everything consumers want in a spray paint—and have never gotten in the past," said Jane Ryder, Category Manager, Valspar Consumer. "Simplicity, ease of use, and the best colors are at the core of the new design and formula."

Valspar Spray Paint boasts:

• Easy-to-Use Design: The new and uniquely designed Valspar Spray Paint can makes the spray painting experience easier, faster and cleaner than ever. The can's large, comfortable finger pad requires 35% less finger pressure than other spray paint cans. The patented spray top, an integral part of the can's design, shields the finger from paint for a cleaner spray-painting process and also features a twist and lock design, so there is no separate top to remove or replace after use. The built in twist and lock mechanism enables cleaner and safer painting and storage by preventing unintentional spraying.

• Improved Paint Formula: Valspar Spray Paint's new formula provides enhanced, consistent coverage, even in small crevices or textured surfaces such as wicker. The paint features a quick dry formula that allows fast touch ups, without a complicated recoat window. Valspar Spray Paint also dries smoother for a more polished, professional looking project with the perfect finish.

The improved paint formula and intuitive design of the new Valspar Spray Paint minimizes common issues such as finger fatigue, dripping, and spitting.  Spray painters—from professionals to those exploring "do-it-yourself" projects for the first time—can now easily create better-looking projects in a fraction of the time.

Valspar Spray Paint is available at Lowe's stores nationwide and select independent retailers. For more information about Valspar spray paint, project ideas, or to locate a retailer, please visit www.ValsparSpray.com.
