Browse Forums Finishing Touch Re: White for Exterior 4May 24, 2010 9:21 pm We used Surfmist, really happy with the finish, was not stark at all. I found that choosing the right white was the hardest colour to pick, we also carried surfmist onto the sofit/eaves. Photos on the blog below.

Off white painted gutters and fascia, the painter did paint the downpipes in a paperbark/sandbank? to match the bricks. It works a treat and very happy. The front door is stained Jarrah and I am deciding on a white mini orb custom design garage door. It does not seem too much and it is not stark. Most neighbours seem to go with Cream or Pumphouse/Burnished Red Brick - Monument/Windspray/Deep Ocean, Colourbound roof or similar Charcoal Vienna profile Roof tiles.
