But there might not be much depth of colour in the cuprinol if it's
designed to let the grain show through.

Just repainted a gate with Gardenshades, the last painting was about
10 years ago and that had all worn off.

The new garden shades is not the same as the old. The new has no wood
preservative ingredient and is more of a film forming paint thing
than the old which was more a soak into the wood stain. Hence the
comment above about it wearing out rather than flaking/peeling off.

The grain shows through the new Gardenshades a bit but that is
probably more down to the grain be raised by age and weathering.
