Osmo Country Colour is an ideal product to protect and beautify any exterior wood surface requiring durable coverage. It's perfect for wood cladding, balconies, windows and window shutters, fences, pergolas, garden furniture, garden sheds, summer homes, and carports.
Preparation Before Applying Osmo Country Colours
- Ensure your wood surface is clean, dry and frost-free, with a moisture content max of 20%
- Thoroughly stir well before use to ensure product coverage is consistent
- Trial application is always required — apply a test patch to check colour match and coverage
- Apply the first coat before installation if possible, and remove all traces of old paints or lacquers
- Wear a dust mask when sanding to ensure safe clean up
How to Apply Osmo Country Colours
- Apply thinly and evenly along the wood grain to the clean, dry wood using an Osmo Flat Brush or Osmo Microfibre Roller
- Aim for one coat at a time for better product coverage without over-applying
- Once the first coat is applied, dry for 10-12 hours in dry and frost-free conditions with sufficient ventilation
- Then apply a second, equally thin coat once the first is fully dry to create a finished surface that is durable and beautiful
Regular cleaning and occasional maintenance will help maintain the natural wood grain and colour performance. Signs of wear become visible, re-apply one coat to refresh the finish without needing to sand.
