Product Information
Full details
This Johnstone's Garden Colours paint in Natural Vanilla is ideal for homeowners looking to add durable, vibrant color to exterior wood surfaces like fences, sheds, and garden furniture. Its primary benefit is long-lasting protection against garden weather, ensuring colors remain fresh for up to 4 years. A key consideration is its specific formulation for exterior wood, meaning it's not suitable for all surfaces. The paint offers a smooth, rich finish that enhances the natural grain of the wood, dries quickly, and is harmless to plants and animals once dry.

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces. If applying over old paint or stain, ensure it was sound and well-adhered.
Uneven color finish.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Ensure even application with a brush or roller, applying in the direction of the wood grain. Apply a second coat if necessary.
Paint is taking too long to dry.
Ensure application occurred in suitable conditions (not too damp or cold). Check that the surface was not overly porous or that too thick a coat was applied. Allow extra drying time in cooler or more humid environments.
Color appears different than expected.
Colors can vary based on the wood type and the number of coats applied. Test application on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure adequate lighting during application.
