Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 03, 2013 10:12 am Hi there, For people who have choosen caoba dawn colour garage door, what paint colour have you chosen for your entrance? Everyone on this forum seems to have gone for merbau stain with that color on garage door and unfortunately I couldn't afford a stained door. Here is our door We choose Dulux Burnished russet in gloss finish with metallic glazing for glass panels, but not sure if that's going to look two different reds? And as you can see in the picture below we have a feature burnished russet rendered bit as well above the front door. To give you a fair idea, here is facade & our external colour selections mocked. Any pictures would help even better?Any colour experts out there to help ? We have choosen this long back, but this started bothering me off late? Also our original plan is to do simple decking on porch as well, to complicate this whole colour theme I started wondering if this would be too much red? Since we are well into this process I would prefer to make it all work with landscaping/choosing a different decking to front rather than paying extra for these colour changes. Already had lots of issues with my builder with lot of errors in paper work delaying the process, so really would like to avoid all that again. Thoughts / Suggestions would be highly appreciated.

And i'd cut back on some of your colours as it's starting to look too busy. ie. four renders. Thanks for looking at this Dan, Now I am even more worried ... Not sure what to change though ....soo over whelming .... Re: Entrance door colour to match caoba dawn garage door 4Jul 03, 2013 3:48 pm Our front door is stained Merbau, but our garage door is surfmist. We did this as our bricks are very dark Austral - Metropolis, topaz and we don't have any render to break up the house. Also there wasn't a garage door colour that came close enough to Merbau that we were entirely happy with.
