Product Information

Full details

Cuprinol Garden Shades in Coastal Mist is a versatile, high-performance exterior paint designed for homeowners looking to protect and beautify their garden structures with a sophisticated matt finish. It is ideal for wood, terracotta, brick, and stone surfaces, offering up to six years of weather protection while preserving the natural texture and grain of the wood. One key caveat to keep in mind is that coverage rates vary significantly depending on whether you are painting smooth or rough-sawn wood, and whether you choose to apply the paint via brush or spray.

FAQs

Can I use this on surfaces other than wood?

Yes, it is suitable for use on terracotta, brick, and stone as well as timber.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint dries to the touch in approximately 1 hour.

How much paint will I need for a fence?

Coverage depends on the texture; smooth wood yields 10-12m² per litre by brush, while rough sawn wood yields 3-5m² per litre.

Is this paint waterproof?

It provides 6 years of weather protection, making it highly resistant to rain and outdoor elements.

Do I need a primer before applying?

Cuprinol Garden Shades is designed for direct application to most surfaces, though clean and dry surfaces are essential for proper adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy after the first coat

Apply a second coat to achieve full opacity; ensure the first coat is fully dry before re-coating.

Spray nozzle clogging during application

Thin the paint slightly as per the spray gun manufacturer's instructions or clean the nozzle thoroughly with water.

Paint not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dirt, grease, or previous loose coatings before starting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides 6 years of weather protection
  • Preserves natural wood texture and grain
  • Suitable for multiple surfaces including brick and stone
  • Compatible with both brush and spray application
  • Quick 1-hour drying time

Cons

  • Lower coverage efficiency when using a spray tool
  • Rough sawn wood requires more product per square meter
  • Requires careful preparation to ensure 6-year longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dirt. If applying to raw wood, ensure the surface is sanded smooth if desired, though the paint works well on both smooth and rough textures.

  • Brush Application: Use a high-quality synthetic brush for the best finish.
  • Spray Application: Ensure your equipment is set to the correct viscosity settings for the paint.
  • Care: For ongoing maintenance, periodically wash the painted surfaces with mild soap and water to remove debris. If the finish eventually shows signs of wear, a simple touch-up coat can be applied directly over the existing layer once the surface is cleaned.
