Are you putting colour in final coat of render or painting or both?? Re: Owner build-Kareen Hills Estate..rendering exterior 48Jun 18, 2012 9:33 pm rocketship Looking good - what colour will the final render be? Are you putting colour in final coat of render or painting or both?? Hi rocketship Final colour will be 'paperbark' - renderers putting that on in their final render coat soon. Told best if leave the current under/base coats to dry and harden up properly...wait a little while before applying the final colour coat...better final result.

Great to have the house now relatively draught free from the current chilly wintery breezes.
