RONSEAL RSLFLPPCG5L Fence Life Plus, Charcoal Grey, 5 Litre

Product Information

Not all fences are made of wood, and while you can certainly use any of the products featured here today on your metal fence, my advice would be to go for a fence paint that is specifically made for that purpose. 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 If you’re looking for heavy duty commercial grade then it has to be Creocote – it’s the only shed paint come treatment left in the entire range that is oil based. And if you know anything about oil based paints for external joinery, you know exactly why I rate this so highly for longevity. When 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 The ease of application with a brush or roller makes this product versatile and suitable for various preferences.

Ronseal Fence Life Plus+ Charcoal Grey is a water-based paint that offers excellent protection for your fence, shed, or other rough sawn wood surfaces. Its UV protection ensures that the colour remains vibrant and resistant to fading, while the weatherproof formula shields your fence from rain and wind damage. It was so good on the shed I thought I’d paint the fence gate too. Nope. Total fail 😀 It reminds me – do not get this on anything that won’t clean up – it stains badly. Top tip that. What a vast improvement. If you appreciate wood like I do, you really will appreciate just how well this enhances the grain and really draws it out with a deeper, shinier look. And it isn’t too shiny either like varnish in my opinion. The closest comparable is teak oil. Many out there swear by Ronseal, as I do about the Ronseal two part filler which is without doubt the best wood filler in the UK. It’s just on this occasion they are completely outgunned. So this means with four different fence paints on test, and with sprayer used as a comparable as well. And then we are testing old and new panels. I am TESTING 8 PANELS total!! How glad to have the Wagner fence sprayer 😀 What paints did I test and why: Cuprinol vs Ronseal One Coat vs Ronseal Life Plus vs Creocote

Coverage: With coverage of up to 6 square metres per litre, this paint offers a good balance between coverage and the number of coats needed for your painting projects. 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? Cuprinol vs Ronseal fence paint – my opinion there is no competition – Cuprinol every time. Remember that’s just my opinion from experience and prolonged use. In just over two hours, this fence paint will be dry and able to withstand the rain, but it hasn’t got the same formula as the newer Ronseal fence life plus to protect it from frost and UV. Haven’t said that, it does protect your wood from greying.

I basically chose the very best paints and treatments available for fences available in the UK. Best fence paints tested Paint Type: Cuprinol Less Mess Fence Care is a water-based paint, which makes it easier to clean up and produces fewer fumes than oil-based alternatives. Once set it looked absolutely superb – after using my fences to test various colours I will be settling on this – don’t panic until it’s set, below is the result you’ll get from two coats with the Wagner sprayer: One of the standout features of this product is its coverage, which allows you to cover up to 6 square metres per litre. This ensures a balance between the amount of paint used and the number of coats needed for a successful painting project. However, the drying time of 2-4 hours is slightly longer than some other fence paints, so you'll need to be a bit more patient during the painting process. My original, favourite, fence paint, Ronseal’s One Coat product is still right up there with the best of them in my opinion. The reason I like it so much is, to quote the famous advert: it does exactly what it says on the tin. Yes, it really only does require a single coat of this stuff to transform your tired looking fence into something to be proud of – sounds like an advert doesn’t it? Well you should know me better than that I am brutal when a product isn’t up to scratch! Here’s a look at that one coat finish: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 UV Protection: Ronseal Fence Life Plus+ provides reliable UV protection to ensure long-lasting colour and minimize fading. Coverage: With coverage of up to 5 square metres per litre, it's slightly lower than some other fence paints, but still offers decent coverage for your painting projects. UV Protection: This paint provides good UV protection, ensuring that your fence maintains its colour and doesn't fade under harsh sunlight. 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.
