Cuprinol 5122390 Garden Shades Exterior Woodcare, Coastal Mist, 1L

We bought the Muted Clay colour and it is lovely. It is exactly like a dry clay, a very soft powdery grey. We were going to sling the wooden chairs and table on the skip, I’m so glad that we didn’t. They’ve come up a treat. I’d recommend 2-3 coats for a good waterproof finish. Everyone has commented and asked if they were new, so it really has given them a new lease of life. We bought two 2.5l cans and managed to do; a massive table, a play house, five dining chairs and two arm chairs and a coffee table. It went a long way. I’d really recommend. It was much more expensive than other stores, usually £20 for 2.5l we bought for £28.99, but as it was hard to get anywhere else we paid the £9 extra per can. I’d definitely use again. I’m even considering painting our fences! It also arrived quickly and well packaged.

This paint is very easy to apply but the trade off is that it is very thin so you need at least three coats, it also doesn't always adhere perfectly to the primer/undercoat causing little globules of paint with the undercoat revealed in between. In some places the first coat peeled off, but the necessary subsequent coats eventually stuck.It's a shame that the paint is so thin because the coastal mist (a sort of duck egg blue) was just the right shade for our summerhouse, see pic. Only time will tell whether the six year guarantee is anywhere near accurate, but I wouldn't expect it.

I thought it slightly expensive, and it cane out lighter than colour on tin. Having said that it was lovely paint and easy to use. I also used it to paint some old planters and a garden bench that was going rusty...so far so good.

It's lasted well on on a small garden shed, even on several tall fancy old chimney pots I use as planters. I've even painted some large earthen ware flower pots that have lasted well for several years. However on flat surfaces like a bench or a garden table I find I'm repainting after the same period of time, thus the new tins. I love the colour it gives the garden so have also painted two more large garden seats, just keeping my fingers crossed I'm not having to repaint them as have discovered most likely the flat surfaced items would have been better if kept covered or put away over winter. Upright items not so. It makes my garden feel like I'm abroad, more so this year as it's something we can't do at the moment.

I'm using this to paint the summerhouse and so far, have been very pleased. Two coats are covering a very brown, rough and smooth surface well. The product is easy to apply and dries in under an hour, in warm conditions. I very much like the pale blue colour, which was hard to distinguish on the tin! As for durability, it is supposed to last 6 years. but we'll have to wait and see.

Product goes on well managed to paint 15 deck tiles that are 600x600 and all had 3 coats of paint..plus had enough in tin to do 2 slatted doors of a storage cupboard 3 coats as well and have a small amount left in a 1 litre tin

I really like this colour. It goes quite a long way, and it very waterproof. My fence looked really awful and dilapidated, and this paint gave it a whole new lease of life.

Very easy to apply, splashes whilst applying, so I would recommend covering areas nearby that you don’t want paint on. I’m happy with the product itself but colour matching is difficult online. I still have half a tin left after full coverage.
