About this deal

For the new panels which are four foot, I also decided on 800ml. We both know untreated timber will absorb far more paint and I want this to be a realistic and sensible test so giving them every opportunity. New unpainted fence panels absorb more paint Now obviously the One Coat from Ronseal didn’t need the second coat, but the Ronseal life plus and Cuprinol certainly did. Let’s take a look at what’s happened. UV Protection: Ronseal Fence Life Plus+ provides reliable UV protection to ensure long-lasting colour and minimize fading. The Vonhaus sprayer was responsible for the Ronseal life plus. I have to say it was lighter to use but still no where near as comfortable as the Wagner. Again to an extent I’d ask you to look at the second coat application in the video to be sure. Here’s after the first coat though: Ronseal Fence Life Plus Paint– first coat

However, there were moments at first when I was a bit worried, as Johnstone’s paints look quite a different shade when you first apply them to when they are fully dried. This is true for most fence paints, but I’ve noticed that this is particularly true with Johnstone’s products, so please don’t be alarmed at first and give it time to dry. You’ll be happy in the end, trust me. The second coat looked much fuller and far happier but it changes completely once dried, let’s have a look at directly after I’ve laid on the second coat first:

With coverage of up to 5 square meters per litre, this product offers slightly less coverage compared to some other options on the market. Cuprinol Less Mess Fence Care is a water-based fence paint that offers a range of benefits for homeowners looking to refresh their garden fences. With good UV protection and reliable weather resistance, this paint keeps your fence looking great and protected from the elements. Coverage: Offering a coverage of up to 6 square meters per litre, this product provides less coverage compared to some other options, which might require additional coats for the desired finish. Now this comparison is far more interesting than the split of the modern as these are wildly different. I much much prefer Creocote and how it drags out the grain and natural timber qualities. This of course is a personal preference. One sprayed on layer of the Ronseal one coat looks full and vibrant What else I tested

Wendy asked a fantastic question: Can I change my fence colour from a Red Cedar to Charcoal grey? Now it’s a great question and is essentially a dark colour cover up possible with a grey fence paint? Now it’ll calm down like my shed and leave a really nice sheen in a few weeks time – I have literally just painted this on so if you view this in a few weeks from that date I will have a picture for you of how this calms down like the shed paint creocote article. UPDATE: here’s a look now it’s calmed down: Do not use Creosote on smooth timber it will just run and look absolutely naff – you’ve been warned – Creocote tested by me, miserably on smooth timer – it needs a rough surface to absorb and even then it will drip.UV Protection: Cuprinol Spray Fence Treatment features Colourfast technology, which protects the colour from fading due to UV exposure.

Best oil based fence paint: Creocote wood fence treatment– beautifully enhances the wood appearance just like teak oil but for a fraction of the price. [tested personally and proven] After the extensive testing of Cuprinol, Ronseal, and Creocote I learned a few things that will save you a total melt down. Sound dramatic? Take a look at this disaster 😀 Creocote is incredible on rough timber but a total fail on smooth timber As you can see the kids didn’t quite finish painting the fence 😀 But what really surprised me was just how well one coat of Charcoal grey actually covered this fence. I mean it definitely has a slightly different darker look to a panel freshly painted with no dark colours behind it, but honestly, that’s only one coat, it’ll become far more grey on a second and third (which I will get around to at some point). Testing Cuprinol fence paint covering up a dark brown with one coatWhen you paint walls indoors it always takes a fair few coats to cover dark colours. So, I was interested to know how many coats it would take myself and as chance had it my wife set about painting the fence with the kids – albeit the wrong colour it was simply to keep them occupied 🙂 Here’s a look at the dark brown where the kids painted the fence brown: Fence painted brown before testing So, here it is: My question is, and you may know the answer to this with all the stains and colours you have tested: Coverage: Look for a fence paint with good coverage, so you won't need multiple coats to get the job done. This will save you both time and money in the long run. It’s quite versatile in the way it can be diluted and then applied to any fence or wooden shed using a paint sprayer, or used as-is with a brush for doing the finer final touches round the edges.
