Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 09, 2014 2:06 pm Alucobond would be good but, so far, we have not been able to match the colour we are like on another building. So hoping we could match the colour with some other supplier of similar aluminium cladding to Alucobond. Suggestions much appreciated of possible alternatives.

Here are the Powdercoat colours but your best bet is to drop into a powdercoater and look at their samples. http://duluxpowders.com.au/colour/ Why I said Gal or AL is so that you can get just one side powdercoated to save money and still have protection on the other. If you want to get a real glossy look and extra UV protection get the clear gloss overcoat. What area are you in?
