Alternative to brilliant white exterior wood paint ?

Feb 16, 2008 3 Replies

I need to find a non gloss paint for outside ... soffits/bargeboards etc. Weathershield is too shiny for customer's wishes.



Ideally they would like something to "match" the upvc windows. Any suggestions?

I suppose upvc soffits don't cut the mustard?

In general, it seems that acrylic paints don't end up with quite the shine of "traditional" glosses. Have a look at those called or described as satin or low-sheen here (not all are acrylic):

(If they want a real alternative, several are available in black...:-))
