Painted pebbledash question

7 years ago

I've just had my exterior painted and I can see black 'holes' into the paint work - see picture. The exterior was sprayed. should I expect this effect? I'm thinking no. Could someone tell me if this is acceptable and if not what has caused it. My initial guess is bubbles from the spray, but wasn't sure if this is an intrinsic issue with pebbledash. Thanks very much!

I think from what you say that you will have an a light grey wall color from the high railing down, darker grey above the rail, and white on the ceiling? You would paint the fireplace surround the light grey color (Cornforth white) but paint the remainder of that wall darker grey (so below the rail as well), with white built-in cupboards on each side...is this correct? If so, it seems there would be a "stripe" of the darker grey around the room on the upper wall, not sure how this would look (a photoshop mock up would help, but I don't have that skill). I like the Cornworth color and think it looks great with white. I would use only the two colors - white for the trim/rail, the fireplace surround, and the ceiling, and light grey for the rest of the walls.

Hi Jessica. I remember the room from before, it looks great. I think you have a few options. You could paint the cabinets in the same green but paint the walls behind in a shade of aubergine or grey (the tv will also blend in a bit more). You could also go for a light or darker shade of the green on the walls with perhaps the cabinet and shelves in a white with a green undertone. Or as said above paint the chimney breast in a different colour and keep the alcoves in the green. In terms of colours that work then obviously the aubergine or grey, you could also try a deep muted red or burnt orange for cushions etc. Gold or copper accents will also look good against the green.

Hi, The house looks great. I hope the extension went on smoothly :) Can I ask why do don't want white? Maybe an off/grey white? I think it would look really stunning. Have you considered a 3D visualisation package. I do them a lot for client with exactly these things in mind. It's a lot of money and time to spend on something so it is nice to know you are doing it correctly first time. I have added a few images of a 3D render done for a client when choosing windows.

I used to think paint was paint, as long as you got a decent brand that’s good enough. But now I would only buy from a trade centre. It does make a significant difference. So much that even an amateur painter like me can tell. :)
