Palatine Professional Shed & Fence Paint 5lt | Oil Based paint for use on Sheds & Fences (Anthracite Grey)

Product Information

Cuprinol vs Ronseal fence paint – my opinion there is no competition – Cuprinol every time. Remember that’s just my opinion from experience and prolonged use.

The largest size that this paint comes in is a 2.5-litre tin, which covers up to 26 square meters per litre.The speed at which this fence paint dries is impressive, and it is said to be showerproof after just an hour. The weather was good on the day we were testing the product, but we gave it a light sprinkling with the garden hose to see if the claims were true, and I’m very happy to report that they were. i2pc pros_icon=”icon icon-thumbs-o-up” cons_icon=”icon icon-thumbs-o-down” show_title=”false” title=”Pros & Cons” show_button=”false” pros_title=”Pros” cons_title=”Cons” ][i2pros]Stain and sealer in one Glossy paints create a hard, shiny surface that is ultra-durable and long-lasting. They’re also highly resistant to stains and a good choice for metal fences. High-gloss paint highlights imperfections, so it wouldn’t be a good choice for a rugged wooden or masonry fence. Color However, if you want to add a pop of colour to your fence, the paint may be a better choice. Paint also provides a more uniform finish and can help to hide imperfections in the wood.

UV Protection: Ronseal Fence Life Plus+ provides UV protection, ensuring that the colour stays vibrant and fresh for a longer period. Available in four different colours, and each one looking fantastic, a 5-litre can should give you enough paint for about five 6x5ft fence panels if you’re giving them a double coating, and I recommend that you do, especially if you want the paint to last for years to come. I know the advertising claims you can do 10 panels of that size, but that would be with a single coat and I do think bare timber (or timber previously a different colour) needs two, take a look at a couple of examples here from earlier today covering new timber (in the video) and an old gate: Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for preparation, application, and drying time, and apply the paint in thin, even coats for best results. Can you paint over paint on a fence?

Creosote for fences

Easy to apply via sprayer, roller, or brush, Hammerite’s metal paint can even be applied onto rust, and has an anti-corrosive pigment in the formula, designed to react with moisture in the atmosphere and create a protective barrier for your fence.

For the most part, the fence paint colour may look a little different to the swatch colour when first applied, but when dry it’s a better match; however, the ‘Autumn Red’ dries slightly more orange than you might expect. As you can see the kids didn’t quite finish painting the fence 😀 But what really surprised me was just how well one coat of Charcoal grey actually covered this fence. I mean it definitely has a slightly different darker look to a panel freshly painted with no dark colours behind it, but honestly, that’s only one coat, it’ll become far more grey on a second and third (which I will get around to at some point). Testing Cuprinol fence paint covering up a dark brown with one coat The Vonhaus sprayer was responsible for the Ronseal life plus. I have to say it was lighter to use but still no where near as comfortable as the Wagner. Again to an extent I’d ask you to look at the second coat application in the video to be sure. Here’s after the first coat though: Ronseal Fence Life Plus Paint– first coatPainting a garden fence can be a daunting task. Using a garden pump sprayer is a great way to paint large areas in a fraction of the time. Before using a sprayer, a couple of precautions should be taken. Estimating the amount of paint you will need for any decorating project can be difficult. You need to know three things when estimating this; the coverage of the paint you are using, the size of the area and the number of coats required. When you paint walls indoors it always takes a fair few coats to cover dark colours. So, I was interested to know how many coats it would take myself and as chance had it my wife set about painting the fence with the kids – albeit the wrong colour it was simply to keep them occupied 🙂 Here’s a look at the dark brown where the kids painted the fence brown: Fence painted brown before testing Oil-based fence paints are available in fewer colour options than water-based paints, but they tend to have richer, more vibrant colours. They're also more challenging to apply, and they require a brush or roller that's compatible with oil-based paints. Additionally, they emit strong fumes during application, so proper ventilation is essential. Don’t worry – I do realise one of the Ronseals is one coat but I want it to be a completely fair test and I have recorded the results after the first coat of fence paint and after the second coat too so you can judge for yourself if it needs an extra coat 🙂

Next, find the size of the fencing you are painting. You can do this by measuring the total length of all of your fencing and multiplying it by the height of the fence. If you have a 1 metre tall fence that spans 25 metres, this will give you a total area of 25m2 to paint.

Garden fence stains

They also have lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which makes them a more eco-friendly option. Water-based fence paints are available in a wide range of colours, and they're easy to apply with a brush or roller. While not a dedicated wood paint, Zinsser Allcoat is one of the most popular options for painting exterior wood as it can be applied to almost any exterior surface. It is a multi-coat paint that offers the ultimate flexibility to transform outdoor spaces. Not only can it be applied to almost any surface, it is available in matt, satin & gloss finishes and can be mixed in any colour. This gives you the opportunity to update all of your exterior surfaces using the same tin of paint, which can save money and time.
