Cuprinol Garden Shades is a versatile, water-based exterior paint designed for homeowners looking to protect and beautify garden wood, brick, stone, and terracotta surfaces. Offering up to six years of weather protection, this paint features a matt finish that retains the natural woodgrain aesthetic, making it an excellent choice for sheds, fences, and outdoor furniture. One key caveat to keep in mind is that this product is not suitable for decking, and it requires dry weather conditions during application to ensure proper adhesion and longevity.

No, this product is specifically not to be applied on decking.
Once fully dry, the paint is believed to be safe for wood that pets, birds, or wild animals may come into contact with or gnaw.
The paint is touch-dry in one hour under dry weather conditions; however, wait a few days before heavy use on furniture.
While not always necessary for fresh wood, you should ensure the wood has been pre-treated with an appropriate wood preserver to prevent decay.
Do not waste unwanted paint. Check with your local authority or visit communityrepaint.org.uk to find a collection point.
Ensure the surface is dry, clean, and free of dust. If the wood was previously painted, sand the surface lightly to improve mechanical adhesion.
Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before use and that the sprayer nozzle is cleaned according to the manufacturer's user guide.
The final look depends on the surface porosity and the number of coats. Apply a second uniform coat along the grain for a consistent finish.
Before applying the paint, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. If applying over previously painted wood, strip any flaking material and lightly sand the area if adhesion seems poor. Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area to verify color and adhesion.
Application should only occur when temperatures are above 5 degrees Celsius and no bad weather is forecast. To maintain your painted items, store the leftover paint in a frost-free environment away from extreme temperatures. When you are finished with the project, simply wash your brushes with water to remove the product.
