Exterior Wood Paint Reviews
British paint, wood stain and preservative manufacturer Ronseal are a household name in the UK, famous for their “Does exactly what it says on the tin” slogan. We tried out their GPD250 garden paint, and it definitely lives up to the phrase.
We tested out two coats of the Daisy colour off-white paint on wood, brick and a strip of sheet metal, and it left an excellent finish that was touch-dry within a few short hours. It’s the best exterior wood paint that Ronseal offer, and we love it.

Johnstone’s paints are a favourite of DIYers and professionals alike for their quality paints and massive range of colours that rival the expensive designer brands.
The Garden Colours range we looked at are the perfect paints to protect your garden furniture for up to four years, with bold colours that really “pop”. We think it’s the best paint for exterior wood, because it adds vibrant colour but still lets the grain show through, for an impressive effect.

One of the biggest names in the paint world, Dulux have been around since the 1930’s and is as iconic as a paint brand can be. Their weather shield paints are the best exterior gloss paints on the market, so we weren’t surprised at the quality of the tin we tried out.
The solvent-based high gloss exterior paint we looked at will protect exterior woodwork against mould as well. It takes a fair amount of preparation for the best finish, but the results are worth the effort.

Cuprinol are another well-known brand that manufacture the best paint for window frames and other outdoor surfaces.
The garden shades paint we tested can be brushed or sprayed on, and leaves a pleasant matt finish on wood, terracotta, brick and stone surfaces. We really liked the Dusky Gem colour, it added a statement colour whilst letting the natural woodgrain still show through.

The Universal All-Surface Paint range includes a stunning choice of colours to really transform your outdoor furniture, windows or just about anything that needs a facelift.
It’s oil-based and a nice thin consistency, so we think it’s the best exterior paint for windowsills on this list.
