Old garden furniture, what old garden furniture....

Autentico painted table

Trust me, when I bought this it was lovely. Now it is time to give it the Autentico make-over.


Now which colour of Autentico shall I use this time?


used some wire wool and then wiped down. Teresa choice Herbs, she knows best!


It got two coats of paint, painting in a different direction for each coat, adding depth. Then using a paintbrush, applied  an autentico clear wax to it. Left to dry and added a second coat of wax, then after drying, polished it lightly.


Now we have a wonderful new garden table.

This revolutionary exterior paint will add a beautiful appearance to your surfaces and keep them protected and looking their best for years to come.  

Water repellent and hard wearing with self-cleaning capacities, Autentico uses a combination of unique properties to create a stunning paint that will ensure your walls retain their characteristic appearance and receive a long-lasting barrier against all weather extremes


Why Esterno?
Vapour permeability
Water repellent / hydrophobic – excellent durability as the rain cannot penetrate the paint and your walls although moisture can escape if  necessary
Self-cleaning capacities / natural attenuation
Combination of these properties and use of microscopic hairs (mixed in the paint) keeps moisture from outside penetrating the surface, but allows the walls to breath.
Even with repeated treatments in the future this vapour permeable paint retains its special properties. 

Esterno is available in all of Autentico distinctive colours and can be used for outside painting on brickwork and plaster giving a distinctive ultra-matte chalky finish; but has the versatility to be used on most outside furniture surfaces or woodwork of any kind.
