Overview

Osmo Country Colour is a very versatile, paint-like, opaque oil finish for use throughout the garden and home. Perfect for a wide range of projects, including wooden sidings and cladding, trim, clapboards (shutters), smooth fences, shakes, shingles, pergolas, summer houses, log cabins, boat houses, garden furniture, sheds and more.

Looking for a high gloss, opaque white finish for windows, doors and fascia boards? Try Osmo Opaque Gloss Wood Stain (2104)

Important Note : Osmo Country Colour is no longer available to be mixed into bespoke colours from ranges such as: BS, RAL, NCS etc. We would recommend country Osmo Country Shades as a suitable alternative offering almost identical visual and performance characteristics.

Although labelled as an exterior product, Osmo Country Colour can also be used on interior wood to good effect. The high solvent-content however means that it is very smelly when being applied. It is recommended that interior items being finished should be removed outside for application and drying. If this is not possible, windows and doors should be opened to aid ventilation.

Please Note: Using this product on rough sawn or featherboard wood will significantly reduce it's coverage.

Preparation

Wood to be treated with Osmo Country Colour must be clean, dry and frost-free.

Old paints and varnishes must be fully removed with a suitable paint or varnish remover
Existing micro-porous finishes such as oils and stains need only be cleaned or lightly sanded prior to application of Osmo Country Colours
Any end grain can be sealed with Osmo End Grain Sealing Wax (5735)
Fill any holes or gaps in the wood surface with a suitable wood filler
Any green growth should be cleaned and removed with Barrettine Mould and Mildew Cleaner
To revive wood that has greyed in the sun, use Osmo Wood Reviver Gel (6609)
If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insects is desired, pre-treat the wood if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat (4001)

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to test product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Be aware that rough sawn timber is more absorbent, meaning coverage per litre will be greatly reduced. Osmo Country Colour is ready to use straight from the tin, no thinning required. Stir well before and periodically when in use.

Apply thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush, Osmo Premium Microfibre Roller or other suitable applicator
For exterior wood, apply first coat on all sides before installation for maximum protection
Allow to dry in line with the product Information on the tin or data sheet
Once dry, a second thin coat should be applied

Aftercare

Renovation

For general renovation, apply a fresh coat of Osmo Country Colour thinly and evenly in the direction of the wood grain as and when required.

F.A.Q.

I want to paint an unfinished kitchen table and chairs with Osmo Country Colour but see that its labelled as an exterior product. Can i use it?

In short, the answer is yes. Osmo Country Colour does not contain any biocides or other chemicals that would make it unsuitable for interior furniture, doors or other interior wood. The only word of caution is that it has a high solvent content and is therefore very smelly and especially so in confined spaces. Our recommendation would be that if possible, move the table and chairs outside to paint and dry. If this isn't possible, open doors and windows to allow lots of ventilation.

Can Country Colour be applied over a previous finish?

No, this is a penetrative oil that needs to sink into the wood and bind the wood fibres. Any previous finish needs to be completely removed prior to application.

Very disappointed

Especially frustrating as this was recommended by Wood Finishes Direct. The product is incredibly runny, drips easily, and dries patchy unless applied with absolute precision. The finish is glossier than expected with an odd blue tinge. I ended up wasting £170 and a lot of time, only to cover it all again with Bedec Barn Paint — which I’d highly recommend instead.

Good long lasting finish

We use this for our (large) shed, it gives a great finish. Looks very smart and weathers well.

Good solid colour, penetrates into pre-treated wood well

Repainting an outbuilding with Osma country colour after nearly 10 years. Covers original well, seems to penetrate into the wood and leaves a nice satin/gloss finish. Slightly thinner than I remembered. High VOC's a bit of a disadvantage and needing spirit cleaner for brushes.

Great paint

Bought Osmo paint sunflower yellow for the garden shed and found a great paint that repels rainwater. The paint application was easy and we were pleasantly surprised at how well it covered.

Takes a battering from the weather on shiplap covering the gable end of the house

We recoat the gable end shiplap every 3 or 4 years. Coverage is exceptional and fast to use.

5/5

Really good quality I needed 2 5 litres of the preservative and 5 litres of the product I am reviewing

Need preservative first which the company has and good quality.I was painting a Summer house base was 5 metres by 4 metres and 5 litres of this product was sufficient for 2 coats. I used a pain rush others may use a roller. Wood was dressed so didn't adsorb to much. Definitely needs 2 coats. I may put 3rd coat on.

Don't like the colour

Had walnut colour in past but for some reason can't get that colour. Thought this was nearest but it's nothing like it.

Expensive but worth it

I’ve used this paint a few times now, it goes on nicely, two coats is sufficient, and it seems to perform as promised. It isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for

Typically excellent osmo product

My order was delivered quickly. I have painted 2 Adirondack chairs which were originally a very yellow wood. They have coloured very well, still look like wooden chairs and in our current rainy weather, the water is beading beautifully!

Heather Scott. 750ml, Labrador Blue - 2501 (08/09/24)

Colour is just what we wanted

Searched a lot of paint brands to find a particular colour paint so sent for a sample of this colour we eventually bought. Having a sample was great as paint charts just do not show a true colour. The paint is very nice and easy to use.

Osmo Country Colours are amazing

I have used Osmo paint for quite a few years and just love it , I buy the small tin of while if I need to tone a colour down. (Dove Blue) its so easy to apply and dries to an even sheen. Great

Goes on great and great coverage

Used on a shed previously treated with an Osmo oil based product. Went on well and really great coverage on first coat. Osmo make quality reliable products - not cheap but worth it

A lovely colour that stays on

A lovely colour which I have used before and will use this tin to re-paint the garden items so they look brand new again.

Barbara Pearson. 2.5L, Dove Blue - 2507 (23/08/24)

I’m painting the larch siding on a cabin for my autistic son to move into - his first steps towards independence- and we wanted to look out on a beautiful colour and we’ve now got that - it’s gorgeous

I painted our porch with Osmo oil two years ago and it still looks like new, so when it came to painting a large cabin it had to be Osmo. The Labrador Blue is a beautiful colour, and though it’s hard work applying it to such a large area, it’s enjoyable just because the result is so good.

Lucy Walter. 2.5L, Labrador Blue - 2501 (31/07/24)

Great stuff, quickly delivered

Expensive, but worth it. I mostly use this on new, bare wood. Goes on nicely. Two coats does the job, three if you use the white. Often lasts five years before needing another coat, less if south facing though.
