Country Colour

• Extremely weather and UV resistant
• Very water and dirt resistant
• Reduces wood swelling and shrinkage
• Natural wood grain is hidden
• Microporous, breathable finish which does not crack, peel or flake
• No sanding necessary for future applications

Surface Preparation

Wood surface to be painted must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).

Osmo Country Colour is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use.

If possible, please apply the first coat to all sides before installation.

Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed.

As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works.

The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.

If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insects is desired, pre-treat the wood if possible, on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat.

Method of Application

With an Osmo Flat Brush or Osmo Microfibre Roller, apply thinly and evenly to the clean and dry wood along the wood grain and spread well.

Allow to dry for approx. 10-12 hours under good ventilation.

After drying, apply a second coat – also thinly.

For renovation works, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.

Note

If surfaces in outdoor areas (e.g. windows, cladding) should have additional protection, apply one top coat of Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Clear (410 without film protection or 420 with film protection) after thoroughly drying. This protects against dirt contamination and extends the life of the finish. For Country Colour White 2101, please use Natural Oil Woodstain White 900.

Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives which may leach out naturally when weathered.

Maintenance and Care of Osmo Country Colour

Regular Cleaning: Damp cleaning with Osmo Decking Cleaner using Osmo Decking Cleaning Brush.

Using power washers will severely decrease the coverage of the finish and general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating.

Occasional Maintenance: If necessary, intensive cleaning and refreshing using Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel or Osmo Gard Clean.

Recoating: Simply re-apply one coat onto the clean and dry surface when signs of wear become visible.

Some useful tips:

For new oily or exotic wood species, please allow approx. three months exposure for the timber that requires treating.  to the outside elements after installation and before application.

Use sparingly - over application can increase the drying times.

For a white gloss finish, use Osmo Opaque Gloss Woodstain
