I think this time my suggestion would be to have the Surfmist garage door.

We are also considering Taubmans Grey Comfort for the weatherboards, would this be a better colour to go with the Ironstone ? I am thinking we will do the front picket fence in the main house colour and then the letterbox in ironstone to tie it all together ? Re: External Colour Help Please !!!! 7Nov 15, 2011 11:57 am AARGHHHHH !!!! LOL Thanks Dan I am thinking we will drop the Ironstone and go for Shale grey or Windspray roof instead with a Surfmist garage door ? We are definately leaning more towards Grey confort now as the main colour. Thank goodness I have all the internals sorted, the externals are doing my head in Re: External Colour Help Please !!!! 9Jun 12, 2012 10:06 am Just posting a quick update Thanks again for your help D@n and Michelle ! We ended up choosing a Windspray roof,Surfmist Fascia & Garage door, Foxdale for the boards and a Taubmans soft white for the architraves, balustrade and trim. The render hasn't ben painted yet and the verandah and balustrade is still to be erected but we love the colours so far !!!
