I have been trying to sort out this acrylic rendering issue since handover back in Sept 2010. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the problem until after handover when I installed the lights and turn them on. I was completely shocked by the poor quality finish on the acrylic rendering. I reported the problem to Clarendon and they agreed to fix it after a lot of hassling. Their first attempt was to apply 2 coats of paint but that obviously didn't fix the problem. I complain again and the area site manager came to inspect the problem and decided to re-render the front facade. Refer to the before and after shots. I'm still not happy with the re-rendering. There are four areas where the rendering is inconsistent as indicated by the circles. These rendering defects can only be seen at night when the up and down lights are turned on. In the daytime, the problem is barely noticeable. Refer to daytime picture. http://bigbo.com.au/Daytime.jpg In summary: I have another appointment with Clarendon next Friday and want to strength my case to get Clarendon to rectify the issue. I can't use the Waterfall display home as it was built in the new port facade and had a bagged finish but it did have the up and down lights! The Clarendon display homes in Parklea have some houses with the acrylic rendering finish and also the up and down lights but don't have the inconsistent finish. Can I use these findings to support my case? I guess if Clarendon doesn't agree to fix it the issue then my next steps will be Fair Trading. Do you guys think I have a case or am I wasting my time!??!?!? Any help will be appreciated. Andy Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply again. I had a chat with the builder, he said he will use primer, then hydrotec which comes with colour and sealer as well.
