Cuprinol5159077 Garden Shades - White Daisy (2.5L)

I recently used Cuprinol’s Garden Shades in Urban Slate to refresh my outdoor furniture and fences, and here’s my review based on my experience with this product.Pros:Beautiful Color: The Urban Slate shade is stunning! It provides a modern, sophisticated look that complements both traditional and contemporary outdoor settings. The rich, dark hue really enhances the natural beauty of wood and other surfaces.Easy Application: I found the application process to be straightforward. The paint goes on smoothly with both a brush and a roller, making it easy to cover surfaces evenly. I appreciated how well it adhered to previously treated wood without the need for extensive prep work.Durability: After several weeks of exposure to the elements, the finish has held up remarkably well. The paint is resistant to fading, chipping, and peeling, providing long-lasting protection against weather conditions.Water-Based Formula: The water-based formula is a significant advantage. It has a low odor and cleans up easily with soap and water, making the painting process much more pleasant compared to oil-based alternatives.Eco-Friendly: Cuprinol is known for its commitment to sustainability, and this product is no exception. It is eco-friendly, which is a plus for environmentally conscious consumers who want to minimize their impact while maintaining their outdoor spaces.Quick Drying Time: The drying time is impressively quick. I was able to apply two coats in one day without long waiting periods, which expedited my project considerably.Cons:Limited Coverage: The 2.5-litre container has a somewhat limited coverage area, especially if you are working on larger projects. Depending on the wood's porosity, I found that I needed more than one container to complete my fence and furniture.Requires Multiple Coats: For the best results, multiple coats are necessary to achieve a uniform finish, particularly if you’re covering a lighter base color. This can be time-consuming, so plan accordingly.Surface Preparation Needed: While it adheres well to some surfaces, those that are heavily weathered or previously treated may require thorough sanding or priming to ensure the best adhesion and finish.Not Suitable for High Traffic Areas: While durable for outdoor use, the finish may not hold up as well in high traffic areas or on surfaces subject to heavy wear. For such applications, additional protection or a more robust product may be necessary.Price Point: Although the quality is high, it is slightly more expensive than some other outdoor paints. However, I believe the durability and aesthetic benefits justify the cost.Overall Verdict:Cuprinol 5159075 GSUS25L Garden Shades in Urban Slate is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to refresh their outdoor spaces with a modern, stylish finish. The beautiful color, ease of application, and long-lasting durability make it a standout product in the garden paint category. While there are some considerations regarding coverage and surface preparation, the overall performance and eco-friendly features make this paint a worthwhile investment for enhancing outdoor aesthetics. If you’re in search of a high-quality outdoor paint that delivers both protection and style, I highly recommend Cuprinol Garden Shades Urban Slate.

I ordered this paint and within half a hour the item had been posted! Very fast delivery too!I used this paint for an outdoor wood planter and I absolutely love it! It needed two coats of paint and it dried quickly, the colour is brilliant with great coverage. I would definitely recommend this paint.

Was pleasantly surprised when opening this as it wasn’t as thick as usual so the coverage and how it went on was so much easier. Great product, have used this before and find it lasts well and looks great.

This is a lovely colour and goes well against the pine back drop - easy to use - and goes on well - Cuprinol quality and the finish is lovely Amazon need to put clips on the lid rather than tape although it was bagged

great colour, good coverage and quick drying

Great paint for fences. Spreads easily and gives great coverage. Great protection for your outdoor wood. I managed 10 fence panels from this size tin.
