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

Johnstone's paint is the best paint and it's the cheapest as well, I've bought every colour so far. Just waiting on my yellow coming. Not only can you paint metal and wood, I painted 3 plastic chairs with 3 different colors. And it went on beautifully, Took about 4 coats but you'd never know it was wood paint. I've also painted big rocks in my garden. I waterd some down a little bit for the rocks, And it also went on lovely, The colours are beautiful and bright too. My garden looks great now. Will definitely be buying Johnstone's paint again once i run out

Love this paint. Far better than the Cuprinol range. The paint seems thicker and more waxy when dry which is very reassuring. It will protect the wood better. This has covered dark chestnut from wickes. Picture shows first coat of Johnston's Spring Rosemary against Cuprinols (Sweet Pea) 7 coats on light wood!

Paint arrived quickly and I wasn't disappointed. A beautiful vibrant colour that goes on brilliantly. The berry colour only took one coat and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will recommend johnstone paint and definitely be using it again in the future!The paint itself is thick and covers perfectly, says it takes 2 hours to dry but with the warm weather it was dry much quicker than that. Once dry it's very smooth to touch and shiny, all in all absolutely beautiful!

A great water-based outdoor paint and preservative. The colour (Spring Rosemary) looks darker in overcast conditions, almost sage green, while appearing quite blue in full sun. It took a whole 2.5 litre can to put two good coats on a 7x7 summerhouse, the first coat was hard work - almost like painting on blotting paper, but the second went on easily. Quite a waxy paint, so keep it well stirred. Depending on the colour and the size of the project, you may need a second can. Very pleased with the result. Recommended.

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.

Used this for a garage side door that was in a very sorry state! Lightly sanded the door then used 3 coats of this paint to do the trick. Easy to use - gives good coverage. Very happy with the outcome

Good quality paint, but sadly this colour doesn’t cover in one go, unlike the old will green, where it was enough for one coat. So be warned where 1litre would do, with this colour your Might want the 2.5ltr tins?Nice and bright colours, help bring life to the boring old garden fencing and gates :)

Easy to paint, covers well and not much of a smell. After two coats, a new shed/playhouse type thing seems to be water tight.The real test will be if it is still water tight after the winter, so I'll update this review then.
