We e thinking of painting our garden fence to colour-match the green of our rhododendrons. How would we get the correct colour paint for this?
Many DIY centres have Dulux’s colour scanners installed, so it’s worth a trip with a handful of leaves to get a colour code. For outdoor paints, there’s a water-based Trade Weathershield quick- drying satin, which matches to about 600 colours. But you’ll get the best colour match from the solvent-based exterior gloss, which can be matched to about 4,000 colours. Remember to prepare the surface properly first, sanding and using a primer/undercoat before applying a top coat.
