Johnstone’s - Garden Colours - Wild Bluebell - Exterior Wood Paint - Fade Resistant - Suitable for Garden Furniture Outdoors - Fence Paint - Dry in 2 hours - 12m2 Coverage per Litre - 1L

This paint is amazing. The coverage is great, I found it much easier to apply than other brands I’ve used.This shade “gentle willow” is absolutely gorgeous. It’s a lovely sage green and I’m literally looking around the garden to see what else I can paint!I’ve used it on a cabin, on garden walls and balustrades so it works well on wood and stone.Anything and everything is getting a sage green makeover here.Previously we had a lot of grey woodwork and walls in the garden and I’m loving this shade, it feels more homely, warmer and it’s less boring than grey which we are so bored of here.I did 3 coats on the cabin as it had been painted before but one 2.5 litre pot was plenty. The stone walls only took two coats and it’s a very thick, block faultless coverage. One tub really does go a long way

I bought this for my garden benches and table to contrast with the Blues and reds I had used elsewhere. I really wasn't sure what I was expecting as this colour seemed to be on special offer pricewise. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality, the colour and the coverage. My old benches now look like new.! very quick drying too. very very pleased.

I used this on the garage door, the gate and some fencing and it looks good, applied easily and has lasted a long while

I bought this second hand playhouse climbing frame for my grandson and wanted to make it look something good I've bought loads of this paint in all colours as you can see in the pictures and it is amazing paint just look at it, I decided to build onto it behind and painted and look at the difference it makes just wish the seller would give me a better discount than 5% as it a bit pricy and can only be bought in small tins so that's the down side, But look at the transformation.The last picture is what it looked like befor.

Used this to paint a 3 seater bench and a 2 seater bench. Followed all instructions and as the wood benches were a strong, dark wood, 3 coats were necessary. Dried super quick! I only needed one tin, but bought two as often, when you come to touch up, I hate colours being no longer available as often happens with many paint colours. This is a beautiful bright colour and I will definitely be ordering another colour for another project very shortly. I am very pleased indeed with the finish and so I do highly recommend it. It is different from normal chalk type paints as it has an anti mould ingredient which is necessary for outside painting but I found it very easy to apply. I would use it on all relatively smooth wooden surfaces which you I am able to sand down, hence it wouldn't suit the feathered wood fencing that I currently have and which is a more rougher type wood. Thank you!!!

I bought this to update my porch door. After sanding it took about 3 or 4 coats to be fully done. The tin was still more than half full. So it really lasted well. I found the tub easy to open, the paint fast drying and a lovely shade. The price was very good too.

Purchased on a whim to restore an IKEA bistro set comprising of 2 chairs and a table, which I actually have 3 of, so all in, 6 chairs 3 tables.When I purchased the furniture it had some kind of weather coating on it that barely lasted a year, I then used an IKEA product that left a waxy residue and it turned black in the rain. Many many hours were spent removing the later, power washing then using a rough to fine grade sandpaper to remove most of the product.I then applied this Johnstone's paint in colour Dusty Fern. It is like thinned acrylic paint in consistency. Applies fairly easily but was quite streaky on first application then as it dries it evens out slightly. It gives an almost sun bleached look, which isn't horrible but I wanted a matt opaque, so continued applying up to 4 coats on areas to achieve this. Dries really quickly so the painting part was easy. I don't think it soaked into the wood, creating more of a skin like finish.I love the colour, just blends into the greenery outdoors which is what I wanted, rather that something garish this time.I've left my furniture out in all weather's now and the finish is still like new. However, one hot day I had one of the chairs leaning on the table and where paint touched paint it stuck and peeled of when I moved them. Not a big deal as I managed to paint everything using less than one tin, so I have plenty left for touch ups, but something to note when it comes to folding the furniture up and storing it. I think if it's painted on untreated wood it would have been absorbed more readily and this would be less of a potential problem.If nothing else I'll be glad to have prettied up my outdoor living space and gotten another few years worth out of the bistro sets at least. Noted recently that I was able to get this product for less than half of what I paid, however at the time I still found it reasonable compared to other similar products and to get a colour I actually liked.Would I buy it again? Yes! I purchased 6 more tubs in various colours and have used it on a small hutch, another chair and plan to paint 2 benches next.So, ...good value, reasonably easy to use, build up colour to achieve the finish you like, low VOC so I managed to use it indoors in a well ventilated space, clean brushes with water... One other note, the container is plastic and not metal, but that is actually helpful as the lid doesn't warp when opening, so it can be replaced securely, and it doesn't corrode in my outdoor store, preserving the paint inside.I'll definitely be trying more of the Johnstone's range in the future.
