Anyone used Cuprinol garden shade country cream on fence

[granadagirl]

We have done 2 coats on each fence, I’m really disappointed
It seem to show patchy, like you e put more in one place.
I’m really sorry I did it now! But have to carry on as I’ve got 4 more to do. No other paint underneath previously

Anyone else had this ?

We had some of that paint, it was bloody awful. So we bought some of the Wilkins garden colour paint instead and found it much better.

I think the formulation has maybe changed.
When it only had recently come out I did mums fence in it and it was gorgeous, true to shade and really good quality paint.

We did our fence in it in the lavender shade last year and although it’s an okay quality paint it seemed thinner than I remembered and although I lie to DH and say you can see lilac in it he is right, you really really can’t.
It appears white, literally no one who has seen it has seen lilac/lavender, they all see white.

Fucksandflowers - really? I'm so surprised at that as I painted my shed in lavender and it really is lavender.

Maybe you need to give it an undercoat with a cheap white paint, sounds like the wood is soaking up the paint too much.

The fence in question!

I can’t remember the name of the actual colour but the colour swatch was clearly lilac/lavender and the name suggested that too but this was the result!

Mine still looks cream 3 years after painting it. I'd go and take a picture but the rain is coming down in buckets at the moment.
I have the fences in the veggie patch cream and the rest of the garden is coastal mist. The fence panels all still look good, the rail in the top looks weathered from birds, cats and rain wearing it away.

Oh, and was only 1 coat.

I have just been on the Cuprinol website and found the shade.

It’s called ‘pale thistle’, I would describe that colour as pale lilac/lavender but as you can see, what I got was very different.

Fucksandflowers - Yep, that is definitely white!! Was it Heart Wood, that's meant to have a lilac tinge I think.

cross post. how disappointing.

I used country cream on a gate. IT took 4 coats.

I also used the plum colour, grey and green, only two coats for each of those.

Did you do the second coat within 8 hours of painting the first? If you don’t, the second coat doesn’t go on right.
I have used Muted Clay on fence panels and Country Cream on a bench and the shed. Looks a gorgeous, rich cream colour and still looks great two years on. Will find a photo to post

Done another coat today so (3) now
It’s looking a little better.
Will check tomorrow. And post pic

Fingers crossed for a 4th coat to work.
Found an old photo, this is Country Cream on a trellis, painted from new so was quite orange rough wood.

I've used various colours (inc Country Cream) on the playhouse and summerhouse. I start the second coat as soon as I've finished the first coat. Where I started is usually dry by then. Never had any problems.

I used the coastal mist shade on my fence recently 2 coats and I think it looks lovely. I did find the paint really thin though it was a messy job so glad I used dust sheets

If you end up looking for other paint , I second wilkos fence paint it only took one coat I was very impressed!

I had to use loads of coats. Fortunately I only did a gate and a door not a whole fence. It looks good now and I'm pleased with it but it took a whole tin!

I did the same as Lang btw, started subsequent coats straight away with minimal time between.
