Johnstone's Exterior Hardwearing Gloss - Black 750ml

Excellent value for money, high quality paint. The tin goes further than you think, I bought two tins to paint a large garden railing and gated area, one tin was sufficient. Only required one coat looks fantastic glossy finish all over, dried quickly.

Great colour and nice to apply. Drying time is reasonably fast. I use on my external windows - 1 coat every year in Scotland, outstanding. I also painted the blocks main doors. It is great for covering cuts and scratches in wood but hand marks are very visible on it due to the glossy black finish.

Decent product. I wouldn't go way ott like some of the reviewers however. This is probably mainly because I used this to paint my old iron gutters. I was painting over Sandtex 'Atlantic Grey' gloss paint which I used last time (just short ten years ago I think). That product was immense. Dripped less, far better coverage, superb finish, fantastic durability and longevity. That was a kind of an 'end of the line' product at a very attractive price when I purchased it. I couldn't get that colour again alas. It was actually a happy accident with the colour before as my gutters were grey prior so consequently I bought the named colour but it was much bluer than grey when it went on. But when it was on I liked it far better than what was on before. I bought two 2.5L pots of the Sandtex then but in the end I only really needed one. So I still had most of the second pot left for this go (it lasted those near ten years: another big tick). I bought this product as I felt the colour square looked a close match to the Sandtex. However, that was a bit of a waste of time as the paint don't really look remotely like the colour square on the side to me (less grey when in the pot and less grey when it's on too).So all in all, I wish I'd just bought the Sandtex Oxford blue (seems to be the ubiquitous shade of blue gloss paint quoted). As that is absolutely exceptional paint in my experience. I would certainly recommend anybody doing that type of job to get that stuff too (similarly priced to this product: circa £40 for 2.5L)This paint is however still good. However it drips far more and feels thinner and when it drips is more prone to going through dust-sheets I found. Also, I needed far more of it. Two full tins of it was required when I still had most of the second tin of the Sandtex left the last time I did it (I did put two coats on my front garage door too on this occasion right enough, but still. I was surprised at how much of it I got through in light of my prior experience with the Sandtex. And I used what I had left of that first on this occasion of course and as I said, it was a reasonable amount.).In summary: Sandtex exterior gloss metal and wood paint: 5 stars plus.This product: I'm swithering between 3.5 and 4 stars. As I'm feeling generous as I'm now done with scaling ladders to paint bl00dy gutters :-)... 4 stars I suppose.

Item is as described, good and hard wearing, price is fair too. Dries quickly and practical to use.

It's a great paint but very runny, wear protective clothing aa it gets everywhere

Great quality paint and true to colour,

Bluer than the pic. Leaning towards green/teal.First coat tricky to apply but second coat easy and looks good.

Done a better job than i thought it wood , well pleased.
