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

You'll find plenty of useful guidance about picking the best wood stain colour in our blog. Happy hunting!

RAL colour matching: Please supply the specific shade reference number using this RAL chart in "Special Instructions" at checkout, allowing a minimum of 10 working days. Osmo RAL matched colours are made to order and are non-refundable.

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

Preparation

The wood surface to be coated 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 can be 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 check suitability and compatibility, and 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 or Osmo Premium Microfibre Roller
For exterior wood, apply first coat on all sides before installation for maximum protection
Allow to dry in line with Product Information sheet
After drying, apply a second coat, also thinly

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.

Excellent product by Pete Dougherty

Two applications of this product has given an excellent satin hard wearing finish that everyone compliments on the colour & great look this has given to our new cabin. Certainly worth the extra cost for the quality finish.

Much thicker than the sample - very disappointing! by Andrea D'Agostino

I designed and built my own shed and after having had a good experience with Osmo interior paints for the house, we thought we’d pay for exterior wood paint, Osmo was a name we came to trust - good news when you're paying over the odds for their products. We ordered a range of samples and tested them all out, the pebble grey looked really nice - it was more like a stain than a paint and brought out the grain of the wood with a nice silvery tint, so we ordered up a tin. The tinned paint was considerably thicker than the sample, this was a solid grey not a stain, the paint covered about 2/3 of what it claimed, so another tin was required to finish the job - we were forced to buy another tin (at a premium!) of a paint we weren’t happy with, or have a half painted shed! So, now I have a thick, creamy-grey coloured shed. If I wanted this colour in the first instance I’d have bought a standard grey from Screwfix and saved myself the hassle and a lot of money!

A note from us...

Hello Mr D'Agostino,

Thank you so much for sending in some feedback on the Country Colour. I am sorry to hear that you were not happy with the result achieved. The Country Colour is a coloured oil that is designed to give an opaque paint like finish. It penetrates the surface of the wood, the first coat will give a translucent look and the second, recommended coat, will give the opaque look you would expect with this product, its thin application does allow you to still see the texture of the wood unlike with many surface paints.

It would be fair to say that some woods will absorb more than other and the type age and condition of the wood will impact on the coverage and colour that can be achieved. If the wood is rough sawn it will certainly absorb far more than the guideline amount.

I hope that helps to explain what may have occurred with your project and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch via our contact page.

Kind regards Samantha.

I have previous experience of this product and am a great fan by Nicholas De Courtais

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.
