Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 27, 2010 11:24 am Is there any significant difference between powdercoating and Colorbond (apart from Colorbond being done in Bluescope's factory)? We want gutters that are a burgundy colour. Manor Red colorbond is much more of a brown colour. It seems we need to get bare metal gutters and have them powdercoated. (I gather Zincalume does not powdercoat well because of the coating they put on it.) Alternatively do we need to get Manor Red colorbond and have it powdercoated to the colour we want? Re: Colorbond v. Powdercoat 2Mar 27, 2010 12:53 pm I'm not sure if this helps, but they usually paint gutters, not powdercoat them... And powdercoat can only be done in specific colours, it's not like they can change tints like with paint (unless you really want to pay $$$). Just get Zincalume painted. It'll be far cheaper than what you are after. Re: Colorbond v. Powdercoat 3Mar 28, 2010 9:25 am Strange, all the houses I've seen built of recent years have Colorbond gutters (the gutters are already the right colour when the roof goes on, months before the painters go on site). Perhaps they do it differently in your State. The Dulux powdercoat colour we've chosen is Hunter Red. Re: Colorbond v. Powdercoat 4Mar 28, 2010 4:10 pm We do have Colorbond (hence why I said it's usually in specific colours), but I haven't heard of any other powdercoat products for gutters here which is why I was a bit confused. In that case, powdercoat raw metal (with no coating) gutters. You will get the longest lasting result. Re: Colorbond v. Powdercoat 6Mar 29, 2010 2:17 pm Warranty? I don't believe that powder coating provides any corosion resistance if it is scratched. You would also have to powdercoat the inside of the gutters it you were starting with bare metal. Some people don't have time to do the job right the first time, but seem to have plenty of time to fix their mistakes.

In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 5994 Hi all, Our boundary perimeter fences need replacing (3 sides). From everyone's experience, what would you install? Timber lapped and capped OR colorbond? Thank you. 0 620 |
