Osmo Country Colour

One of very few genuine opaque micro porous products as opposed to wood stains. Performs as expected, but the paint is exceptionally thin compared to some other brands and drips off the brush too much.

I used this to refurbish a weathered hardwood bench after sanding it down. While planning to use 2 coats, I only used 1. It covered very nicely, looks great. It should have the 2nd coat but will do it in the spring. I'd buy it again.

Would recommend. Might be a touch expensive but goes a long long way

I bought two tins but it went so far that I still have a lot of the first tin left. The wood I used it on was like blotting paper and I thought that "this is going to be an expensive job." It had been treated with another well known product but had gone dingy and was rapidly weathering off. The second coat was a dream. It used a fraction of the first coat. After the weather we have been having it still looks good.

Lovely paint to work with, covers well - I did 2 coats on my cabin but if you want a ‘distressed’ look just use one coat.

I used this paint to contrast with the light grey paint in the same range. Lovely charcoal colour.

We have been able to use this product throughout a Listed Building conversion. Easy to use, covers many materials well.

For repainting our wooden gutters and fallpipes

Used on garden furniture and would recommend it. Do use protection gloves as the paint is so good it’s a job to clean off your hands. All family and friends really like the royal blue colour.

I wanted to give a colour to my 10x8 shed so chose this. I'd already put on 2 coats of barrettine wood oil so I decided on keeping oil based paints. I JUST managed to cover the shed with this. If I'd more money, I would have got more paint. It's expensive but I love the finish I've got. The team at Wood Finishes Direct were very helpful and knowledgeable too. Definitely recommend them...

Osmo have a good range of colours

Did what we needed it to do very well.

I needed something to treat areas high up out of reach where surface preparation was pretty much impossible without a full scaffold - this did the trick admirably

The reason that I've only given this product 4 stars is that I wish it wouldn't need re-painting so often, but I suppose you have to do this anyway when you use wood in a garden.

I've given this 5 stars because it met my requirements fully in providing a really good quality finish for an expensive garden fence, after applying 2 coats. After applying one coat it looked really nice with the grain of the redwood timber showing through. But I applied a second coat when the colour of the redwood preservative treatment (a type of tanalising?) started to bleed through. After 2 coats of Osmo it looks like a high quality paint. If you are thinking of applying only one coat make sure that your preservative is colourless and be aware that any knotting compound or wood filler will give it a blotchy look.

Used Osmo Country Colour for 18 years on a lugarde summerhouse.its been treated about 5 times and it looks brand new. No cracking or flaking even after last summer. This latest buy was to paint outdoor furniture

Great coverage, easy to apply and matches previous painting perfectly.

Excellent microporous paint. Wish it came in a bigger range of colours.

On the whole a good product although I didn’t get anywhere near the stated coverage so quite expensive. It also has a strong odour which presumably will go after a time.

A quality product that actually is resistant to the weather over a prolonged period of time
