Osmo Garden Colour

Osmo Garden Colour is a very versatile, opaque finish paint for use throughout the garden. It is highly resistant to water and dirt. Perfect for a wide range of projects, including timber cladding, clapboards (shutters), fencing, pergolas, garden furniture, sheds, balconies and car ports.

• For an oil-based, opaque finish, use Osmo Country Colour
• Looking for a high gloss, opaque white finish for windows, doors and fascia boards? Try Osmo Opaque Gloss Wood Stain (2104)

Please Note: An exterior primer will be needed when using white or light colours.

Wood to be treated with Osmo Garden 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 Garden 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)
• Apply an exterior primer if needed

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 Garden Colour is ready to use straight from the tin, no thinning required. Stir well before and periodically when in use.

1. Apply thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush, Osmo Premium Microfibre Roller or other suitable applicator
2. For exterior wood, apply the first coat on all sides before installation for maximum protection
3. Allow to dry for 3 - 4 hours
4. Once dry, a second thin coat should be applied, as above
5. Lightly sand between coats using 240 grit sandpaper

Regular Cleaning

Painted surfaces can be regularly cleaned using diluted Osmo Decking Cleaner (8025) and an Osmo Deck Cleaning Brush

For a more intensive clean, refresh using Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel (6609)

Renovation

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