Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Mar 26, 2010 9:58 pm We are in the process of building an extension and renovating our fibro shack. We have put in angled eaves to modernise the shack a bit, but I am not sure what colour to paint them. Colour choices so far for the external: Roof – Surfmist (can not really see the roof) Visible Gutters - Surfmist Capping (no fascia) - Surfmist Downpipes – surfmist ? Eaves - ? Posts – Vivid White Cladding - Dune colour bond cladding laid horizontal. Windows and sliding doors - White with chunky vivid white surrounds. Front Entry Door - Woodland Grey or White (will have chunky white surround) Deck – Stained Timber with Woodland Grey fascia board I only have a picture of the back of house at the moment.

My hubbie thinks Surfmist is the way to go but I have convinced him that doing an undercoat in white and seeing how looks will be a good idea. Considering we need to buy the white paint anyway I think I can convince him. Update from me! Couldn't find the trimmer - not sure if there isn't one simply because the eave is so narrow. Went ahead with the spring toggles and it all worked out… 7 5818 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one! Do the gutters pool water after it stops raining? Although it's… 4 7812 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls.
