Cuprinol Opiniões 

The Cuprinol Ducksback in Misty Heathland that I have purchased for my shed is nothing like the greenish grey on the tin. No element of green there at all, it’s more a dirty cream. I thought whiteness might fade in application, but no such luck.The paint itself has the consistency of cottage cheese, even after much stirring, it’s difficult to pick up on the brush and takes forever to brush out evenly. Very disappointed, especially as I read I will only ever be able to repaint it with more of the same.

Update- I have been contacted by Cuprinol who confirmed the paint I purchased was faulty and they were very helpful, resulting in a refund and vouchers for a replacement product, with instructions on how to over paint the Ducksback. Thank you, especially to Helen who dealt with this issue promptly.

Compared to 5 years ago it's almost pure water. Went on my very light wooden shed transparent! Have requested refund from cuprinol. Premium price tag for the worst fence paint I've ever used!
Tested a part with 3 coats was still a patchy mess

After spending 3 days stripping sanding and cleaning my shed in the lovely weather we've had recently, I decided to re stain using Cuprinol Garden Shades Warm Folliage which was mixed by my local supplier .
So, on opening the tin I was surprised to see a very pale almost putty like shade , whereas the shade Warm Folliage is shown to be a more natural brown on the colour chart .I was thinking there must have been a mistake in the mixing process or that it would dry to resemble the colour I had hoped for. So, using a brush I applied a very watery first coat, left to dry for the day in the sun and then applied a second coat the following day but I'm deeply disappointed the resulting colour is not even in the spectrum of the colour I was led to believe I was buying . Luckily , I only purchased one of the two litres needed but even so at £12.60 , a very expensive disappointment for me , but a nice profit for suppliers when these colour charts are misleading us and we are then forced to purchase more paints or stains in my case to rectify

Cuprinol Garden Shades : Willow. The best paint that I have ever used outside on wood. I recently painted a largish outside Pergola/Sunroom. This paint is far superior to other well known brands. Easy to apply with a brush but don’t recommend a Spray Gun.
Another well known brand (the main competitor to Cuprinol), was useless, with terrible coverage and simply did not do “what it says on the tin”!
The only downside is the high cost, but this paint is well worth it in my opinion.

I bought the white paint and it was like spreading milk over my furniture. If you have a lot of time and patience to give everything a dozen coatings then this is for you. If you want value for money, great results and a fraction of time spent, then don't go anywhere this. Tried painting one chair and ended up throwing the rest. So annoying

We just paid £38 for 5l of cuprinol shades for our daughters brand new playhouse. I wish I had read the reviews before buying. It is a watery thin mess! The playhouse has had 3 coats and you can still see the wood, there's also drips and runs everywhere. My husband works in construction so je is familiar with how to paint but no mater how careful and steady he's been with the application it's an absolute eyesore!

Ruined an expensive playhouse!

I tried Ron, but even though a tub of ducks back is £4 more a tub, it is next level. My decking has half&half just now and ive got the pics , video that shows the Cuprinol beads up the rain, whereas the Ron is sponge'n.

Gr8 product

Forest Green. Nice colour and yes it's waxy and so needed more than 2 coats on an old fence and even then it didn't completely cover the old blue paint as it kept coming through. Would not recommend this product

Sticky Nightmare After Cuprinol UV Guard: Honest Review

After applying this product exactly as instructed (on clean, dry Scandinavian softwood decking, using a brush, in perfect weather), I experienced severe tackiness that lasted for days — and later weeks. The surface remained sticky, unusable, and released a strong chemical smell, especially in sunlight.

It took multiple attempts to resolve the issue, including washing with water, water + detergent (which did nothing), and finally cleaning every single board manually with methylated spirits followed by wiping dry. Only then did the tackiness disappear — but the odor lingered.

In the end, the only positive outcome is that some of the oil likely soaked into the wood, so a basic level of water resistance probably remains. Visually, the wood survived — thanks to its quality — but the entire process was frustrating, time-consuming, and avoidable.

This product might work if applied with near-laboratory precision in an ultra-thin layer, but even a slight excess leads to a surface disaster.
Better guidance from the manufacturer and honest user reviews would’ve saved me hours of unnecessary work.

Never again this product!!

Absolute rubbish watery paint that never lasts any amount of weathering before needing another couple of coats. People need to stop buying familiar brand named rubbish and start looking for actual decent paint. These companies are robbing you all blind and you fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Bough Cuprinol White Daisy from The Range 5 x 2.5l for a 1m x 35m long fence.
Gave our fence 3 coats over 3 days, time will tell how well it takes to the weather.
An absolute disaster to work with, any thinner and it was water. Very poor coverage and spread and had to be very careful of the runs.
I’ve used Johnstons prior to Cuprinol and clear to say I’ll be using Johnstons again, thicker paint and brilliant on wood. Cuprinol stop watering down your paint.

I bought Cuprinol ducksback for our garden fence. It was the delicate pine colour. We used 7 tins (5ltr) for a fence that is approx 60 square metres.

We painted it twice, over 2 days, a coat each day. We put much more on the fence than was recommended. It was prepared correctly, and was bone dry (over 20 degrees) for weeks before and stayed dry for few weeks after too (it was painted around a month ago).

Just been outside and the paint is coming off in the rain! It looked brilliant when done, but now is starting to come off. Not happy!

I am surprised of the negative comments mainly to do with the colour's.
I put this on my large shed and it has lasted for 5 years, it has protected the shed from all weathers it never blisters of flakes in extreme heat and rain water just falls off like it says 'Ducks back' so for me its 10/10
I have just bought another tin to recoat, its reasonable priced and good quality both of which are hard to match with other products.

Bought Cuprinol Ducksback in B&M…. great price but TOTAL waste of money.. I don't remember ever using such a bad paint...very poor coverage with first coat..not much better with second coat...just heading into town to buy proper paint. Don't waste your money on this rubbish.

Bought ducksback autumn gold for my new fence, expecting the colour from the tin. Foolishly didn’t heed the bright orange colour of the paint on opening the tin and painted two panels- orange. Thinking it would deepen to the correct shade on subsequent coats I tried a second but no. It is bright orange and hideous especially when the sun hits it. Nothing like the advertised colour. Fine I thought, I’ll buy something else to paint over it- but it turns out that to do so I’m stuck with more ducksback with limited and questionable colours as other brands won’t adhere to it. Absolutely sickened to have ruined my new fence.

Update
Thank you Sam from Technical for advice and we shall use the garden shades which we used on our BBQ hut and still perfect 10 years later

Terrible. Prepared fences. 3 coats, used 2 full tins, left it a day between coats. 1st rain all washing off from top of fences down . Looks worse than before applying. Waste of money and the effort of my 73 year old husband.

I can't say how long it will last but after spending nearly £100 on ronseal decking stain which was awful like water ronseal no help at all.We decided to try ducksback covered in two coats brilliant how long it will last have to wait and see but at a quarter of the price of ronseal what's not too like.

My update on my previous 2 reviews. I am pleased that AkzoNobel dealt with my issue although I feel it could have been avoided if they remove the lid of their Ducksback to reveal the colour when putting online. This might help customers get a better idea of the colour rather than going by the labels description.

Cuppernel Dutch back never use such cheap streaky shed fence paint four coats on the shed still looks streaky still looks awful very very poor adhesion back to using protek products for your more professional finish will definitely not ever buy this again ps also replies from cuprinol seem to be same replies ????

Paint went on very well. Silver copse colour looks amazing.
