Professional Shed and Fence Paint

I ordered 7.5 litres of Anthracite Grey professional shed and fence paint online over a weekend, delivered promptly on the following Tuesday - exactly when expected.
The product itself is not cheap (my order was just over £100 including delivery) - and it's a slow process to apply with a brush to get it to properly penetrate the wood (spraying is not an option for me due to close proximity to the neighbours) but you get what you pay for - and wow does it do the job! Coverage is excellent on timber I treated with a well-known water-based product three years ago and I still have over a litre left from the 5-litre tin, and with two sides of the shed left to paint.
It's transformed our tiny garden and the "boss" is so pleased I might actually get some peace for a while ;-) - highly recommended!
If only I could upload a picture...

Dear Steve,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your fantastic 5-star review!

We are absolutely thrilled to hear that our Anthracite Grey professional shed and fence paint has completely transformed your garden. While a high-quality oil- or solvent-based formula can take a bit longer to brush into the timber, we are delighted that the excellent coverage and finish made the effort worthwhile—and that it earned you a bit of well-deserved peace!

We really appreciate your detailed feedback and recommendation, and we wish we could see a picture of the finished project too.

Thank you for choosing us!

Kind regards,

Palatine Paints Customer Care Team

Very good quality paint

Very good quality paint. The team matched the colour perfectly match to the sample I provided. Quick delivery and really happy with quality and ease of application. The paint quality exceeded any paint I have bought from the major manufacturers before.

Ordered 27th feb

Ordered 27th feb, due 5/3, failed to deliver and delivery date pushed back to the 10/3. Taken nearly two weeks to recieve a £500 order and cost me a weeks work! No offer of compensation due to the repeated use of a terrible courier apart from delivery cost about £30! Insulting. Will never use again and will never recommend. Avoid if you don't want to lose money.

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced with your recent order.

We would like to clarify a few points regarding your order and delivery timeline. Your order was placed on the 27th of February at 2:10 PM, which unfortunately missed our cut-off time of 1PM for that to be the first working day which is stated on the website. As you selected our free shipping option with a delivery window of 3-5 working days, we shipped your item via FedEx on the 4th of March, which was the 3rd working day. Typically, FedEx delivers within 1-2 working days, so the expected delivery date was the 5th or 6th of March.

Regrettably, there was an unexpected delay at the FedEx UK depot in Kingsbridge, which caused your package to be dispatched from their depot on the 7th of March, and you received it on the 10th of March. We understand how frustrating this delay must have been, and we share your disappointment with the service provided by FedEx on this occasion.

As a gesture of goodwill, we offered you a refund on the delivery cost, which was the compensation provided to us by FedEx. We are sorry to hear that this was not satisfactory for you.

We strive to provide the best service possible and adhere to our stated shipping processes. We believe that the delay was an isolated incident caused by our courier, as can be seen by the 5 star reviews we receive on a regular occurrence and we hope you can understand that this does not reflect our usual standards.

We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work on improving our services. If you have any further concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Best regards,
Palatine Paints

Dear Keith,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the issue you encountered with our paint.

We understand your concern, especially given your extensive experience in painting boats. It is indeed concerning that you experienced problems with a product that has received over 14 - 5-star reviews?

Based on our conversation and the images you provided, you stated that the paint was applied over a white anti-fouling paint, yet a dark colour is still visibly seen. This suggests that the underlying dark colour affected the coverage of the white paint.

We appreciate your willingness to work with us to find a solution rather than returning the product. To help improve the coverage, we recommend the following steps:

Ensure that the paint is thoroughly mixed. Sometimes, even with an electric drill, it may take longer to achieve a consistent mixture.

Apply two as is recommended to achieve other properties such a film thickness.

This approach can help achieve better coverage and adhesion, especially when covering a dark colour as even the anti fouling coating hadn't obliterated the underlying colour.

Best regards,
Platine Paints
