Osmo Country Colour

Looks good but time will tell with respect to durability.

This is not like conventional petroleum derived paint. It is very runny and works by soaking into the wood, therefore two coats are needed to get the appearance of a painted finish. It acts as its own primer and therefore no primer or undercoat is needed. It is very unlikely to peel or crack which is the usual problem with conventional paint.

First used on my son's garden furniture in Germany, then back home in Cheshire for exterior house areas with good results.

Good coverage easy to apply. Hope it is long lasting.

Not used yet. However having used the red paint of the same type, which was Excellent, am not expecting any problems with it.

Needed an oil based paint for my summer house. Although expensive compared to other so called 'exterior and weatherproof' this gives a far superior almost gloss finish and, contrary to manufactures guidelines, only needed a single coat. In my opinion well worth the premium price.

Expensive but works well and charcoal colour is pleasing, fast delivery

If this is applied as directed, it's a fantastic product.

Its expensive, but is so easy to apply and seems tough. For sawn timber 2.5L covers about 1 side of four 6x6ft fence sections (1st coat), although had already been treated with the WR Base coat.

Excellent product with a fantastic quality finish

This is an oil-based colour for timber cladding or other outdoor wood on a house, shed, summerhouse, even fence. The Anthracite Grey colour we used on the cladding on our bungalow is a nice modern shade of grey. It dries a little lighter than when it goes on. This "paint" is really quite low viscosity (runny) and so needs care in application. I used a 1.5" brush for the main cladding and a 0.5" brush for corners and some gaps between pieces of cladding. However, if I got too enthusiastic with brushing out the "paint" then I found that there were spatters on the adjacent white render which I then had to constantly wipe off with a cloth soaked in white spirit. It was better to just be really gentle with the brushing and not let the bristles whip off the surface of the wood and cause the spatter. The brushes could be loosened up with a bit of white spirit after the end of a day's work, wrapped tightly in kitchen cling film, and would be in goof shape to start off the next day. Be careful that the viscosity will be even lower for the first 10 mins because of that bit if white spirit in the brush. The finished timber cladding, after 2 coats, was a nice colour but had a semi soft sheen surface, certainly making it nice and waterproof. However, I notice now that after a couple of months in the intense UV of the great British heatwave of 2018 the surface is a little more matt and looks the better for it. Expensive but good product. Coverage pretty good (certainly on a smooth timber surface) due to the low viscosity. The second coat goes way further than the first so don't believe the coverage figures from the manufacturer.

Excellent product. Have used it for 20 plus years for pergolas, sheds, fences etc. It is very ‘drippy’ to paint with,but looks great and last many years, gradually fading, without peeling or cracking.

Used on exterior of log cabin, great coverage, easy application and provides an attractive and hard wearing finish. Great range of other colours

Great range of colours, Dove Blue looks fantastic! Used on exterior of cabin and provides a hard wearing and waterproof finish. A little expensive but worth it as it protects my investment and gets loads of compliments!

First coat seems really thin, but it all comes together on second coat, lovely finish, great colour, really impressed

Very good coverage, which, once you get used to the thin consistency (especially in the hot weather) goes on very well. Bought because it's breathable, doesn't need a separate primer, and, more importantly, only needs a wipe down when you need to recoat.

Easily absorbed onto wood and gave reasonable finish after 1 coat.I think the WR Base coat helped ease of application and made it go a little further. 2.5L almost covered 1 side of fence 6ft tall 30ft long on rough sawn pine feather edge boards. Looks good hope it lasts, as it's not a cheap option.

Seems to be ok, but I'll reserve judgement until it's been on for a winter or two.

I did a great deal of prep with 2 coats of base coat and 2 top coats of Country Colour, definitely worth the many hours spent on my garden house, looks brilliant. !

This product was a pleasure to work with. My furniture was in a very poor condition after the winter. Having sanded the furniture down , I then applied one coat of the country colour. This was excellent coverage with some grain showing through but I feel there is no need for a second coat at this stage. The colour is lovely , a brick red. I chose this as the furniture had previously been stained mahogany and I felt that Nordic Red would be the best to cover any residual cover . Excellent, a 2.5 litre tin has covered 6 arm chairs , 1 large table , 1 storage bench/ seat and 1 swing chair and frame with some left over. It was expensive but has proved very good value for money .
