Overview

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.

Preparation

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

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 Garden 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 the first coat on all sides before installation for maximum protection
Allow to dry for 3 - 4 hours
Once dry, a second thin coat should be applied, as above
Lightly sand between coats using 240 grit sandpaper

Aftercare

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.

Great paint

Using this to restore some very neglected external wood and it’s a joy to use. Goes a long way too so well worth the slightly premium price Mixed with Grey Beige to get the exact colour I wanted and very happy.

Really great paint.

Using this to restore some very neglected external wood and it’s a joy to use. Goes a long way too so well worth the slightly premium price. Mixed with Light Grey to get the exact colour I wanted.

Always a pleasure to use this paint

Great colour, easy to use, expensive but you get what you pay for. An excellent product I have used this on all my fences.

Great product

I used it on a shed and 5 bar gate, it took two coats as per the instruction and i did a great job. Ive used this in the past and will use it again especially on outdoor buikdings

Expensive but worth the price

Purchased for new summer house. Very pleased with the results and repels water as expected. Although very expensive it’s far better than cheaper water based products.

Really good easy to use and quick to arrive

Importantly very black and went on really well, I was impressed by the service and speed of arrival

Fantastic Coverage. It goes a long way!

Was apprehensive to start with as quite waterery! But once I started using. Its coverage and finish is fantastic. I’ve had 2 2.5 l tins! So used on everything outside!

Good coverage, easy to apply

Good level of coverage and easy to apply with both a roller and a paintbrush. Used on a log cabin windows and doors. Holding up well against the weather that the Scottish Highlands throws at it

Great colour, brightens up the driveway fence and gate

Love this paint, the colour really works on the fence and gate. Makes the driveway look clean, sleek and modern. Great to see how effectively it repells the water on the fence. It.certainly.doesnt go as far in terms of use as it states on the tin.. at least not when it comes to raw.wood. Once sealed with the 1st (generous) coat, it then is a bit more giving (I had bought a 750ml tin initially due.to coverage claims... promptly had to get the 2.5l can instead)

Brilliant .

I always use Osmo for outside wood.Easy to apply and does what it says on the tin.

Fantastic!

The most excellent paint to use. Lovely to apply, with excellent coverage. I have used this paint on my shed and my log store (Pine Green - 7283, which is a wonderful dark green and looks good in the garden); it hasn’t peeled or cracked and looks great.

Good to apply; colour depth is excellent when properly applied with two coats.

A good quality product but relatively expensive - time will tell if itâ€™s good value compared to cheaper wood stain products. Annoying colour variation between cans so make sure cans are mixed together before applying top coat.
