AI Review Summary Based on 75 reviews

Customers frequently report excellent performance and water resistance for Cuprinol products, particularly on sheds and fences over multiple years. Many praise the color range and durability, with some noting easy application and good coverage. However, a substantial number of reviews highlight serious issues including extremely poor adhesion, paint washing off within weeks, significant color mismatches between tin and applied finish, and products being too thin or watery. This indicates inconsistent quality control or formulation problems affecting user experience.

I used Cuprinol Garden Shades in

I used Cuprinol Garden Shades in Natural Stone This product is awful to apply Runny like water don t get much coverage and 1-2 coats is still not enough It took 6 5ltr tins to do my small garden fences at two coats Still needs another coat really I gave it two stars because the end result colour is lovely but mighty expensive 240 in total on this paint to do a small garden

Cuprinol country cedar decking paint

Bought Cuprinol country cedar anti slip decking paint and it s terrible I have done 3 coats on each of my decking areas In the garden and it s all patchy and different colours I have never had an issue with Cuprinol however I don t think their paint is as good as it used to be and it s not cheap either

Such poor customer service

Such poor customer service I used the ducksback product There is nothing on the instructions to advise that if the product goes on any other service to wash off immediately I thought that the product was a fence stain rather than a paint I spilt a lot on my Indian sand stone patio I have spent a lot of time effort and money trying to remove what I now know is paint with no success There should be a warning on the product to wash off immediately Upon contacting customer service all they advised was to jet wash and sent a google link Needless to say that the first thing I had done was to google for assistance My patio appears to be permanently stained

Cuprinol shades repelled by previous Cuprinol

Used Cuprinol shades Forget-Me-Not for my shedDecided to change the colour from Seagrass Put the first coat on and the old surface seems to be repelling the new paint and gives it a dappled appearance Any suggestions since a light sanding to provide a key doesn t appear to work

Cuprinol forest green duckback 2024 is

Cuprinol forest green duckback 2024 is much lighter than 2023 It means its impossible to catch new timber replaced slats with the same colour Any solutions anyone

Goes on well but comes off after time

Goes on well and seems to give a lovely finish but I ve painted about 20 panels in ducksback and it s coming off in numerous places after less than 2 years The panels I painted it on were all brand new and bone dry done during dry spells during the summer I thoroughly brushed off any sawdust etc that you get with new panels before painting too so can only conclude that the product isn t upto the task which for a major brand who specialises in this sort of product is a real let down Definitely won t last the 5 years they claim so if you read this before purchasing I would recommend looking at other options

Colour not same as tin

Studied all Cuprinol shades before choosing Fresh Rosemary to paint outdoor garden gate Shocked as the colour looks blue not anywhere close to the shade on the tin In fact the colour is exactly like another shade Coastal Mist Not happy with the colour as we wanted more of a green not blue Really frustrating

Farcical colour description on tin

Based on great experience with Cuprinol ducksback previously on my shed which has lasted 6 years decided to go with it again Unfortunately the same colour was not available in our garden centre but they did have something similar called delicate pine Well The colour difference between the finished product and the example on the pot is almost laughable If I cuprinol don t know how to represent the preservative s colour what s the point of putting it in the pot
