The Osmo Country Colour in Charcoal is a premium, microporous wood finish for exterior applications. It is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect and enhance their wooden garden furniture, sheds, or fences with a durable, breathable coating that resists weather, UV rays, water, and dirt. A key benefit is its long-lasting protection without cracking or peeling, and the absence of sanding required for future recoats, though users must ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application.

For most applications, one or two thin coats are sufficient. For bare wood, a coat of Osmo WR Basecoat can be applied first, followed by one or two finish coats.
Osmo Country Colour is designed for microporous finishes. If the previous paint is not microporous or is flaking, it must be completely removed before application.
The longevity depends on exposure to the elements. However, the microporous, breathable formula is designed for durability and typically lasts longer than conventional finishes without peeling or flaking.
Drying time can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, recoat times are around 24 hours, but ensure good ventilation. Full curing takes a few days.
Osmo Country Colour is designed for vertical surfaces and general exterior wood. For decking, Osmo Decking-Oils are generally recommended for optimal performance and slip resistance.
Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with Osmo Brush Cleaner or turpentine.
Ensure the product was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply thinly and evenly, avoiding over-application in any one area.
Verify that the wood surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or old finishes. Ensure old microporous stains were completely removed.
This can occur if applied too thickly or in very humid conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow for longer drying times. Apply subsequent coats more thinly.
Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from frost. Remove any old, flaking microporous stains or finishes thoroughly. For bare wood, a single coat of Osmo WR Basecoat can be applied for enhanced protection against blue stain, rot, and insects.
Application: Apply thinly and evenly with a brush or Osmo's Floor Brush. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Typically, one or two coats are sufficient for a finished surface.
Compatibility: Suitable for all exterior wood surfaces, including garden furniture, fences, pergolas, and screens.
Care: Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and water. For more stubborn dirt or mildew, a specialized wood cleaner can be used. Re-application is simple as no sanding is required; clean the surface and apply a new thin coat.
