Cuprinol Reviews

UpdateThank you Sam from Technical for advice and we shall use the garden shades which we used on our BBQ hut and still perfect 10 years laterTerrible Prepared fences 3 coats used 2 full tins left it a day between coats 1st rain all washing off from top of fences down Looks worse than before applying Waste of money and the effort of my 73 year old husband

Bought ducksback autumn gold for my new fence expecting the colour from the tin Foolishly didn t heed the bright orange colour of the paint on opening the tin and painted two panels- orange Thinking it would deepen to the correct shade on subsequent coats I tried a second but no It is bright orange and hideous especially when the sun hits it Nothing like the advertised colour Fine I thought I ll buy something else to paint over it- but it turns out that to do so I m stuck with more ducksback with limited and questionable colours as other brands won t adhere to it Absolutely sickened to have ruined my new fence

Bought Cuprinol Ducksback in B M great price but TOTAL waste of money I don t remember ever using such a bad paint very poor coverage with first coat not much better with second coat just heading into town to buy proper paint Don t waste your money on this rubbish

I bought Cuprinol ducksback for our garden fence It was the delicate pine colour We used 7 tins 5ltr for a fence that is approx 60 square metres We painted it twice over 2 days a coat each day We put much more on the fence than was recommended It was prepared correctly and was bone dry over 20 degrees for weeks before and stayed dry for few weeks after too it was painted around a month ago Just been outside and the paint is coming off in the rain It looked brilliant when done but now is starting to come off Not happy

Cuorinol paint is lovely great because water based great because it has good properties to protect wood Terrible because the inadequate misleading instructions a thing they ve known about has caused customers problems for many many years they still haven t addressed despite saying years ago they would do so it s a case of buy our paint that s all we care about and customers can give us their money and vanishThey tell you one coat is minimum they don t tell you that if you don t apply a second coat within 8 hours you can t apply one at all as the dry paint repels water and its a water based paint so it s repelled once it s dried Unless like me you search fir the answer which is break down the surface with white spirit then coat two will not be acceptedThey ve heard customers concerns and worries and problems and in the early 2000s said they would write clearer instructions They still haven t done so plainly they don t care t So people like me have to go through tedious extra work easily avoided if they communicate better far from using a water based product thinking its kinder to the environment you end up using solvents and undo your little bit to helpReally annoyed I had thought I had time to apply the second coat to a large area in the garden at my leisure had I known the problem with the paint I would have done a smaller area would have had the energy y to do it twice on the same day Fir example today is 35c who wants to do that job twice on a roasting day like today Cuprinol effectively force you to or you have to leave the painting fir another day or month and you may not fancy doing it when the weather s cold and the woods not completely dryI m not impressed Nice paint well designed but shame about the lack of brains that produce the tins or more likely the instructions which are probably done by yet another company or the lack of care for customersMaybe their right hand doesn t talk to the left or they are tone deaf to what their customers need to know or what they ask for A letdown fancy making a great priced lovely product and letting it down over details easily fixed

color very nice but after 2 months it rinses off my fence disappointed

This is the second year I ve use cupinal on my new chair wooden ones it s terrible thin paint and if u knock the chair moving it the paint comes off I ve done 3 coats Last time I waste any more money on this brand

Easy to paint the fence appears thick paint Lasted less than a year before the paint had washed off Do not recommend Especially as the lattice that I also painted is a pain to do

Wish I d read these reviews before painting my garden furniture Looked great at first but has now started coming off did three coats Very disappointed just thankful I haven t yet started a fence that I had planned to do

This shade is a lot darker than expected More dark grey than the expected silver Online every photo shows a slightly different shade I think it needs renaming Good coverage though Stays on the brush well
