It is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect and enhance their wooden garden furniture, sheds, or fences with a durable, breathable coating that resists weather, UV rays, water, and dirt.

FAQs
How many coats of Osmo Country Colour do I need?
For most applications, one or two thin coats are sufficient. For bare wood, a coat of Osmo WR Basecoat can be applied first, followed by one or two finish coats.
Can I use Osmo Country Colour on previously painted wood?
Osmo Country Colour is designed for microporous finishes. If the previous paint is not microporous or is flaking, it must be completely removed before application.
How long does the finish last?
The longevity depends on exposure to the elements. However, the microporous, breathable formula is designed for durability and typically lasts longer than conventional finishes without peeling or flaking.
What is the drying time?
Drying time can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, recoat times are around 24 hours, but ensure good ventilation. Full curing takes a few days.
Is this product suitable for decking?
Osmo Country Colour is designed for vertical surfaces and general exterior wood. For decking, Osmo Decking-Oils are generally recommended for optimal performance and slip resistance.
How do I clean up brushes after use?
Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with Osmo Brush Cleaner or turpentine.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color application
Ensure the product was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply thinly and evenly, avoiding over-application in any one area.
Product not adhering well
Verify that the wood surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or old finishes. Ensure old microporous stains were completely removed.
Surface remains tacky after drying
This can occur if applied too thickly or in very humid conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow for longer drying times. Apply subsequent coats more thinly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
