RAL colour matching: Please supply the specific shade reference number using this RAL chart in "Special Instructions" at checkout and allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. Osmo RAL matched colours are made to order and are non-refundable. Osmo have advised that they are not able to colour mix the following RAL colours...

RAL 1026, RAL 1035, RAL 1036, RAL 2005, RAL 2007, RAL 2013, RAL 3024, RAL 3026, RAL 3032, RAL 3033, RAL 4011, RAL 4012, RAL 5025, RAL 5026, RAL 6035, RAL 6036, RAL 6038, RAL 7048, RAL 8029, RAL 9006, RAL 9007, RAL 9022, RAL 9023.

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

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.

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 Osmo Gard Clean
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.

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?

A. 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.

The best I've ever bought

It is so easy to go on, coverage is the best I've ever used. I covered a 9x8 foot solid gate and used an inch of product. It's had 2 coats now and I have used just over 2 inches. It really didn't need a second coat as it covers so well but due to the heat, the wood expanded and gaps appeared so I gave it one anyway. It is a lovely oil to use. I thought it was expensive but you get what you pay for and it is worth every penny. Spread it out with the brush and use the brush until it's dry. 2 thin coats are better than one thick one. I will definitely be a customer of OSMO again and Wood Finishes Direct, they've been awesome.

I find Osmo much the best for exterior timbers, gates etc

Osmo takes to new wood and well prepared old wood better than any other, with immediate penetration, easy application and lasting colour.

This is a repeat purchase Would recommend

Love this oil/paint for garden wood structures and furniture. Water is repelled and wood well protected. The light grey is quite a blue grey but I like it. Worth getting samples of the colour range as expensive if you find you don%u2019t like it. Reliable delivery from wood finishes direct. Would recommend.

Excellent product

Great colour. Appears to stop any water penetration. Did not cover as far as coverage suggested as soaked into the wood.

Super easy to use wood finish

Having used this product previously, I would recommend it whole heartedly. Although not cheap its rate of coverage is excellent & little goes a long way.

Robert Arden. 2.5L, Traffic Grey - 2742 (05/12/20)

5/5

Excellent

Very easy to apply but make sure you only do very thin coats, it goes on very well but runs if painted on to thickly so thin layers is a must we did 3 coats of the cream but only needed 2 coats of the green, lots of patience is required but the end result is fabulous, excellent product would highly recommend.

Excellent quality

This was osmo Country Colour in Charcoal which is a lovely dense off black. It had a bit of a sheen so doesn't look too dark and goes on very smoothly. I couldn't get it all out of brushes so went through a few (painting 5 fence labels and two sheds) but very happy with it now it's done.

Love Osmo country colour

We have been using this product for a few years now and really rate it, easy to apply and gives a nice finish, shiny at first but quickly dulls to a nice satin finish. Recently decided to update our windows and change the colour from dark brown to grey - big job but this stuff has been great to use. One coat did pretty well but did a second to ensure no brown showed through and finished with the uv finishing oil on south facing windows. Looks really smart, very happy.

Carol Brook. 2.5L, Anthracite Grey - 2716 (20/10/20)

5/5

My go to exterior timber finish, used many times, great product, covers well

On rough sawn timber you use much more than on smooth timber, so it pays to sand off the worst of the roughness prior to application if possible.
