British Paints Four Seasons

Smells like paint looks like paint in tin but when applied to prepared surface paints like milk terrible watery product Show details

Garbage. A coat of milk would be better – No coverage,like no pigment in the paint. .Dry in one hour. Two coats did not even resemble a coat of paint. New timber fence pailings Show details

Watery paint – Paint quite watery. Took 4 coats instead of 2!!!! Won't use it again.

Aweful paint – Painted black exterior paint about two months ago onto gutters and fascias.Supposedly 25 year guarantee??Now coming off in tiny patches where the rain hits the surface....are you joking and before you reply,yes I sanded and prepped properly.The paint is rubbish and now have to go over areas again.Waste of time/money..........will try Taubmans as it is a far superior paint.Avoid. Show details

Bad paint – Honestly, I spent ages painting and repainting my timber. After 4 coats it started to look white but gave up. British paints, your product is rubbish. Show details

Worked really well – We used British paints exterior on guttering, timber edging, pergola frame, chicken coop, window frames. We did all the work ourselves and we are not professional painters at all! The end product was beautiful. We painted a much lighter colour over the old mission brown that was popular around the time our place was built and it came up great. I… Read more ·  1

would reccomend it and the price was reasonable compared to others. We applied 1 coat of primer and 2 of the exterior. This was 3years ago. Still looks good.

Not Happy – Did what the paint expert said to do and not happy. We have put on two topcoats and still need to do a third as it just is not covering the undercoat. Using a good brush and not overbrushing also mixing with a proper paint mixer that you put in a drill to ensure proper mixing. Will never buy British paints again Show details

Easy to use great coverage – I used this product on external doors, after preparing the surface properly I found that this paint was able to be brushed and rolled flawlessly. The coverage was not as good as specified however I was using it over quite weathered doors so I put that down to the surface not the paint. 6 months on and the doors still look like they have just been painted. Show details

Good coverage – Very expensive but goes on easy enough. Originally Bunnings sold us the clear paint (appears white in tub) which had no effect, after supplying us with the correct paint, we are getting lots done. Hopefully it lasts as long as it says. Show details

Trouble with dark velvet on exterior – The paint is not spreading when using a brush, it is covering with a roller but need to cut in with a brush and it seems to be separating. Using 2 other brands on the same area and not experiencing problems with them Show details

Where's the white? – Brought on sale at Bunnings to apply over good condition previously painted exterior timber flashings and door/window frames. Well prepared surfaces per instructions, applied a first coat and could hardly see the impact - re-stirred the 8 litre pot in case didn't do enough with the first 5 minutes effort. Same outcome, so little white pigment that… Read more

it would take at least 5 coats to cover pale green existing paint, and likewise on previously primed timber surfaces. Suspect this batch is either faulty or there is serious lack of pigment ingredient. Returning to Bunnings today for full refund and will choose another brand.

Great finish – Used on outside rendered walls already painted. Same colour as such. Walls washed and clean, correct texture roller and nap size used. Excellent result! Even, no blotches, 2 coats looks magic, and adhesion seem great. Very happy so far, went over 12yr old Solver paint no issues. Follow instructions, use correct applicators and you won’t have a issue. And we are just amateurs!  Show details ·  1

Perfect paint – Great paint to use..don't know what the bad reviews are about. It is the same as or equal to all other paints. I have tried them all..if you prep properly you will avoid the so called mistakes. Great paint easy to use and good coverage. Used it for years including other brands and they are all equal as long as you use the proper paint for what you are painting.  Show details ·  1

Junk - don’t buy – Applied as per instructions over a previously painted surface (Solver duraguard). Previous paint was left to dry for a week and was sound and looked good. Got British paints from Bunnings as I was passing and easier to get the off white tint. Applied fine early to mid arvo and left to dry overnight. Whole thing broke down overnight and left a… Read more

total mess with streaks of tint and blotches. BP help line was no help as my first layer was a non-BP or Dulux product and the conditions (20 degrees at 2-3pm) was too cold to guarantee it would set (not what it says on the tin). Had to sand all back, bought more duraguard from the paint shop and all worked fine under same conditions. I’d say avoid this junk.

Easy to apply – Not bad paint for the money. I have painted my pergola that was badly painted jarrah timber and had no trouble with the paint. I gave the timber 3 coats and a great result was achieved considering the timber was previously painted in what looked like green fence paint and once the timber was power washed it now looks like brand new  Show details

Rubbish Do not purchase – This paint is Rubbish, especially for the price they charge. Whilst it dry's very quickly the coverage is poor as it requires a second or even a third coat to cover over white primer. It also dry's streaky without a professional finish with either a brush or roller. I now have 3 litres of this rubbish to throw away as I have now purchased another brand of paint that covers perfectly.  Show details
