Cuprinol 5092593 Garden Shades - Wild Thyme (2.5L)

Product Information

Although it’s a type of wood paint that is ideally designed for exterior garden wood structures, you can use it on metals like garage doors, aluminum fence posts, non-ferrous surfaces, zinc-coated, or galvanized metals without any unexpected adverse reactions. Cuprinol Garden Shades should not be used on metal fittings like nuts and bolts that show signs of rust or corrosion. Because it’s a bit smelly (at least for me), I don’t recommend using them as your normal indoor furniture paint.

The only reason you may need to apply a second coat of Cuprinol Garden Shades is that the timber is of a dark color, or there’s already a darker-colored stain on the wood that needs to be covered. But I still think Cuprinol Garden Shades is one of the best wood paints out there, and you should definitely give it a try. What I like about this leading wood paint is that it’s available in a range of fantastic colors that can fabulously bring out the natural grain of your timbers without any flaws. Cuprinol Garden Shades is an excellent exterior woodcare product that can withstand the test of time.Step 3- Next, stir the paint thoroughly before application and apply the paint in completely dry conditions (above 5°C) with a brush or sprayer. Test a small area first for colour and adhesion: Colour the final colour will depend upon the type of surface, previous treatment and number of coats applied. If using more than one can it is advisable to mix them together in a container or finish in a corner before starting a new can. Adhesion: if adhesion is inadequate on previously coated surfaces, lightly sand before application.

While the pros of Cuprinol Garden Shades outweighs its cons, there are still a few problems that cannot be ignored.If you desire to recolor your timber fences or garden structures treated with wood oil, the oil will most likely repel the Cuprinol Garden Shades paint. If you are in the UK market and searching for excellent wood paint that can cover all your fences and furniture outdoors, I bet this product will not disappoint you. Especially if you need to redecorate and brighten up your garden and provide a bit of waterproofing to your wooden outdoor structures – it’s a great product to choose from. Yes, if it’s a bare wood piece or structure, it’s worth treating with a wood preservative first – to avoid wood decaying and rotting due to moisture, mold, algae, and fungi. I personally found Cuprinol Garden Shades very good when it covered all the fence panels and the shed with only one coat layer.

Additionally, fence paint is usually cheaper than regular paint, so it can be a more budget-friendly option for painting furniture outdoors. Can I apply Cuprinol Garden Shades on oil-treated wood?Make sure the wood is pre-treated with an appropriate wax-free wood preserver that does not contain any wax, oil, or silicon, as these products will penetrate the wood and can repel water-based products that are applied. After applying Cuprinol Garden Shades, what should I do to maintain the surface finish? Remember, the paint coverage will vary depending on what application method you use (brush or spray) and the condition of the surface you are applying the paint on. Like any other paint product, it’s important to care for the painted surface when you have coated it with Cuprinol Garden Shades.

Untreated wood: should be pre-treated prior to adhesion test with an appropriate wood preserver to prevent rot and decay. Below in this short review article, I will reveal my experiences (with the goods and a few bad) about the product – along with details on where it can be used – and where not. Step 2- Fill the holes, gaps, or splits in the wood surface and cut out (or replace) the rotten parts.It’s basically a type of wood paint that can be used for painting fences, sheds, garage doors, kennels, treehouses, and virtually all the furniture items that are located outdoors. I used a bristle brush for application, and when dried, it offered a beautiful matt color that enhanced the grain of natural wood. If there is any loose flaking old paint or varnish on the wood surface, strip it off completely to bare wood for better adhesion. These are available as a sample and can be bought at the cheapest price to try the color and finish prior to buying the final product you need. Can I Use Cuprinol Garden Shades on Metal Surfaces?
