Cuprinol CUPGSOLI25L 2.5 Litre Garden Shades - Olive Garden

I have bought this paint regularly from this site. Never anything wrong with the paint and how it is delivered. Always a first class service. This time something happened in transit and the lid opened. However due to the excellent packing and dilligent care of the packer I was able to save all the paint. Not only that, not any leakage outside of the box onto my furnishings. The lid was very well taped so only a small opening had occurred. End result I was able to pour the paint back into the tin and still have 99 percent of the paint. I was very impressed. The paint itself is exactly what it says on the tin. A brand I prefer to use due to its long lasting quality. I will continue to purchase from these suppliers.

The paint is very good quality and dries quickly. However UPS is used to deliver these tins of paint and each time they damage the box and tin inside. The last tin I ordered arrived with a split in the bottom of the tin. The tine had been wrapped in a plastic bag with tape over the split so either the supplier had done this knowingly that the tin had a split in the bottom or ups damaged the item again and repackaged the paint.

Perfect for what I need lovely colour

Well worth it, brilliant cover.

Had to do 2 coats to get decent cover on fence

I adore this Cuprinol seagrass shade, it's just so attractive and fresh looking. As you can see from the photos, my wooden gates were looking hideous and drab after not being touched in years. All it took were 2 coats and now they look fabulous. The paint is quite runny but I just put cardboard down to catch the odd drip. It went on smoothly and dried within a couple of hours, ready to apply a thinner 2nd coat. I used a wide, fencing brush for this and it went on so quickly, I actually found the whole process hassle free and quite therapeutic, especially using such an uplifting shade. These gates are 8ft by 7 ft and I also painted 2 reclaimed wood planters yet still have just under half of the tin left. Now I just need to decide what to paint next 😊

After opening the boxes of both tins I saw that the contents had been leaking into the plastic wrapping of each tin. Luckily I opened both boxes outside so no mess inside the home to clear up. I have not actually opened either tins so have no idea how much has been lost although the plastic bag seems to have stayed intact enough to use that paint.

Good paint would not buy any other make.
