Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 24, 2017 9:58 am We had tried to colour match our garage door to Vivid White to match window trims but apparently they can't powder coat this colour. We have chosen Surfmist for our fascias so thinking we do the same for garage door? Do you think the garage door will be ok in Surfmist or will it clash with vivid white trims? We can powder coat in another white colour but $900 seems steep when it's not even the same colour as trims! Surfmist garage door - will it look white? 2Oct 24, 2017 10:06 am Hey Ezza, just went through this exact issue. 1. Yes you can get powder coati g in white, maybe not an exact match but close enough. Check out Dulux Duralloy colours 2. $900 is a rip off. We were quoted around $400 for ours. 3. We have white window frames and in the end opted for a Surfmist garage door after seeing others on the forum. Check out Waldorf Grange’s blog. https://waldorfgrangebuild.wordpress.com/ Was worried actual white would be too stark and Surfmist looks pretty close IMO Re: Surfmist garage door - will it look white? 3Oct 24, 2017 10:30 am Thanks Dani J I will have a look. Yeah White was the colour they suggested but what's the point introducing a 3rd white colour! What's annoying is we are trying to match the facade colours from their image - grey/white Hampton's look but seems impossible with colourbond not doing a white! But yes it's almost $1000 bucks to do it with our builder so too expensive I think! Is your house built yet? What colour did you do fascias? Re: Surfmist garage door - will it look white? 4Oct 24, 2017 12:29 pm Yep, I think you have your answer. $1k for not even an exact match, probably money better spent elsewhere. Our gutters and fascia are also in Surfmist so made sense in the end to stick with the same. Try google images for some pics of garage doors in Surfmist, found it really helped!

Aiming for the Hampton's look too, you've given me confidence it will all look great! Re: Surfmist garage door - will it look white? 13Nov 15, 2017 11:52 am Hi Ezza78. Sorry I just saw your question. I have just discovered that Colorbond have released a new colour called Dover White!! I'm hoping to go with that - I haven't seen a sample yet, but the rep told me it is a bright white! Fingers crossed Re: Surfmist garage door - will it look white? 15Nov 15, 2017 11:55 am We are building with Plunkett Homes in Busselton on the canals. It is a custom build with a Hamptons feel. We are still in the process of planning, and are waiting for the working drawings, they should be done in the next couple of weeks. I'll post a pic when I get them. Re: Surfmist garage door - will it look white? 16Nov 15, 2017 11:56 am Ezza78 Thanks Newbie. Too late now we are at construction now. I'm sure the Surfmist will look great - but I seriously cant believe it has taken this long for Colorbond to finally release a "white"!
