So vibrant 😍 Great quality - completely drip free, quick dry time and lasts really well! Great value or money I’d highly recommend

I absolutely love this paint. I used 2 tins of this paint and used it to paint my outside steps, 2 small pieces of fencing and outhouse doors with this paint. It applied really well to the steps and the small pieces of fencing, they were bare timber to start with but the paint applied really well, I applied to coats to make sure that the paint stayed bright and they look fantastic, it is a really lovely purple colour. I also did 3 outhouse doors with it, they were previously a dark blue gloss so I sanded them back and primed them with an under coat. I ended up doing 4 coats as they were really streaky to start with but they look fab now. I can’t comment on the longevity of it yet as it has only been on a couple of weeks and so far we have had lovely sunny days (long may it last 🤞). The paint goes on really well, dries quickly, is value for money and looks great what more could you want from a tin of paint, now to decide on a colour for my main fence panels 🤔.

Great value and quality lovely colour arrived quickly

This is really lovely paint to work with. Goes on smoothly, dries quickly and is a great Matt finish. Coverage is really good and no odour. I would highly recommend this paint and it is certainly value for money.

Sea green spray is such a lovely colour Dried super quick in the sun The quality is amazing I only needed one coat Perfect for my vegetable planter

Very good paint. I have used it before 6 years ago and whilst not yet looking shabby I decided to smarten up my fence, gate and shed. Just one coat was enough this time, but you’ll best apply 2 coats on new wood. It goes on easily with excellent coverage. Being water based, clean up of the brush is easy too. I really can’t fault it in any way whatsoever.

Great colour and quick delivery. Looks great on the gates needs another pot for a second coat. Sure it will turn a few heads when going past. Easy to paint on. Colours that great I'm looking at also getting the pink 🩷 for chairs outside

I accept that most reviews rate this paint highly, but really must provide my own and very different experience. Purchased the Island Lake colour as wanted a blue for the shed to interact with my Cuprinol Dusky Gem fence. On opening the tin of Johnstones I was pleased to see the thickness of the paint compared to the thin seeming Cuprinol.. Surely this would cover better and take less effort and fewer coats? Not so.. One coat looked awful. 2 coats looked better, but 3 coats were needed to give any resemblance of full depth of colour. I also found the paint very hard to apply. It required a great deal of working in and dripped everywhere. Finally (and I cannot target the whole range here) there was the end colour.. far more luminous than any records of the suggested colour, including the completely different colour on the actual paint can.. It hurt the eyes :(. After a £20 wasted purchase I gave up and settled on another shade if the Cuprinol Garden Shades collection (muted clay). I bought enough for 4 coats as I knew it was thinner and needed to cover up the bright luminous blue... The paint flowed and applied beautifully and amazingly covered the whole shed to full colour depth in just 2 coats and half the amount of the Johnstones I had applied. I try and live and learn, and so despite the other colours being maybe more acceptable I will definitely not be buying this brand again. I do think that it is a far better paint for smaller projects such as chairs and planters, etc. I found the Cuprinol better on every score, plus their representation of actual colour far more accurate. I've provided a picture of both the end result from the Johnstones in blue, and the end result in the beigey/brown Cuprinol, which was just so much easier to apply and required so little I cannot recommend it enough.

Gorgeous colour.
