Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Apr 20, 2012 3:47 pm I am really wanting to test out some exterior paint colours for render, we are not up to that stage yet, but want to get an idea before we pick the roof colour. (deciding on shale grey or ironstone) What can I test paint onto to give me the closest colour to what the render will be? 2/2010 8 acres purchased 11/2011 plans submitted 3/2012 plans approved 13/4 slab done 16/5 brickwork and roof finished 4/6 lock up 29/6 kitchen and bathrooms in 30/6 currently painting Re: Testing paint samples 3Apr 20, 2012 8:39 pm Yes that would be the easy thing to do, i know. but I have a particular render colour in mind and want to get a visual on it with the shale grey roof, as I have not seen any houses with a medium/dark blue grey render and light roof to give me an idea.
