Answer 1

You pay for name brands where Valspar isn't as as old probably just as good. I've had no problems with either. If you are trying to match a paint, use same as original. Also be sure to compare latex, acrylic latex and enamel. Flat, semi-gloss, egg shell or gloss as they are all formulated and dry differently. Also interior/exterior

Antique White is NOT the same shade from 1 paint to another.

Answer 2

Just different formulas and price, you probably will notice little difference in the final finish.

Answer 3

I worked for Valspar a few summers while attending college, they have one of the best paints on the market.

    And by the way, there are over 340 different shades of "white"
