Full details

This Johnstone's Exterior Wood Paint in Brown is designed for homeowners looking to enhance and protect outdoor wooden surfaces like garden furniture, fences, and sheds. Its key benefit is providing a natural-looking finish that allows wood grain to show through, combined with a durable, fade-resistant formula.

How soon can I apply a second coat?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not drying within the expected 2 hours.

Ensure the paint was applied in thin, even coats. Drying times can be affected by low temperatures, high humidity, or poor ventilation. Allow more time in adverse conditions.

Uneven color or streaking.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Ensure even brush strokes and avoid overworking the paint. Apply a second coat if necessary.

Paint peeling or flaking after application.

This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation or application on a damp surface. Ensure wood was clean and dry. Previous coatings may have been unstable. Prepare the surface again and reapply.

Wood grain is not visible through the paint.

This product is designed to allow grain to show through, but the opacity can vary slightly with the number of coats. If strong color coverage is desired, multiple coats or a different product may be needed. Ensure the surface was clean before application.
