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.

CUPRINAL GARDEN SHADES 6 YEAR

CUPRINAL GARDEN SHADES 6 YEAR WATERPROOF PAINT this outdoor furniture paint is a total joke it fades very much in 2 years never mind 6 years it is a high expensive paint nicely packaged but the performance is totally lacking it bio degrades so quickly if my furniture needs repainting every 2 years then how is that good for the environment

Mid-representation of the colour inside the tin

I bought Cuprinol Shades Natural Stone and Pale Jasmine I wanted to paint the body of my Summer house in the Natural Stone and the windows and doors in Pale Jasmine I painted the body of the Summer House today and it s CREAM I ve done 2 coats and it s fine except it s the wrong colour Now my Pale Jasmine will barely show up against the cream I think it must be Country Cream in the tin The Natural Stone colour chart is a complete mid-representation of what s inside the tin otherwise I literally had this weekend to get the Summer house painted before the guys laying my new pavers and new lawn are coming on Monday I m so exasperated and feel I ve wasted my weekend painting my Summerhouse the wrong colour

Fresh Rosemary Garden Shades

Last week I bought a large tin of Fresh Rosemary Cuprinol Garden Shades to paint 4 wooden planters because I used the Country Cream paint 2 years ago and was really pleased with the finish However this time the Fresh Rosemary was the consistency of water and dripped everywhere despite me having stirred it thoroughly It needed 4 coats to give decent coverage and now it has bubbled and wrinkled despite me following the exact instructions and leaving plenty of drying time between coats Really disappointing having spent all that time painting to see the finish I was happy with your paint 2 years ago but the quality has changed beyond belief I have wasted time and money on this project and will not be buying any more of your products in future

Have used Garden Shades lots over the

Have used Garden Shades lots over the years with lots of lovely colours I Used to love it This time however the paint was really thin and watery Didnt seem like the same paint It definately used to be a lot thicker and richer It seems to be a watered down formula now And many reviews seem to confirm this so I don t think it s a batch issue

First frost ruined all my hard work

I have used Cuprinol decking stain for over twenty years and have never had cause for complaint I applied 2 coats of the Cuprinol Decking Stain Natural Oak to my two areas of decking in September of this year and was pleased with my efforts However after the first frost this November the entire two areas of decking went all blotchy - the only word I can use and now looks awful I can only think it was a bad batch Your views please

Awful shed paint

Awful shed paint - despite painting more than 2 coats over short period of a few days it has no duration My autumn painting has already washed off in many places After using 6 tins on shed and stable I gave up in the autumn trying to patch it up and will move on to another brand

Just used a new can of Garden Shades

Just used a new can of Garden Shades and it is much thinner than it used to be Their Ducks back is better but still watery I used to use Ronseal but that is also useless now 5 coats of 5 year fence paint and after 6 months it has washed off Don t know what to use next but it won t be either of the 2 big ones They all seem to be adding too much water to make it appear good value by volume

Actual colour of paint nowhere near the colour advertised on the tin

I m gutted My husband and I finally saved up enough money to purchase a new shed We saw the Autumn Gold Ducksback paint at the shop and thought it looked perfect Unfortunately the actual colour of the paint turned out to be bright orange not brown I m heartbroken over ruining my new shed
