Exterior colors Roda phase 3

Hi, I want to brush up a few places on the exterior walls. I have asked Resortalia for color codes but they are not able to provide me.

I recently tried color Arena from Pintura Banos at San Javier, however it is slightly too light.

Anyone have an idea? Thanks!

The only people who will know are Roda, Resortalia or possibly your Community president depending on which Community in Phase 3 you are on.

i am a little surprised that Resortalia have been unable to help as they have the codes for other Communities.

the big problem is that there was a base colour but it was mixed in varying amounts with white in most Communities that is why it is so difficult to match.

What you need to do is get a reasonable chunk of paint OFF your walls and take it to a paint shop that does colour mixing. This way they will be able to match the colour exactly.

We recently had our lounge painted and this is what they did by using one of the electrical covers. And it was a perfect match meaning we only had to do 1 coat of paint to cover the scuffs.

I recommend you contact Dennis or Maggie at RodaFM - what they don't know about Roda isn't worth knowing. 

And if they don't know themselves, they'll know someone who will!

Hi all, thanks for all replys's.

I just called FM services who confirmed its very hard to find because its a mix with white etc. So, guess I just have to try out or mix myself :)

thanks again

Have you checked when the exterior walls are due for re-painting by the community? 

Might save you some money.

Hi Swim.

You will have a problem trying to match the colour exactly, due to various things.

On what machine the original colour was mixed (Mixing machines can vary slightly even using same colour codes)

Age of paint (Natural discolouration)

The sun as a huge impact on changing paint colours.

Dirt/Dust/Algae sticking to walls over time etc.

You will probably find in general that the new paint mix is usaully slightly lighter even if mixed exact, depending on age of original.

The best way would be to paint a full section, but that depends on the size of the section to be painted, and where you are painting.

Some companies will offer a scanning service where you take a flake of the paint into the shop and they will scan it, this can be hit and miss too.(Dont know if this is available in the area)

Other option is the human eye!!

Ive copied colours in the past using colour charts on swabs?? and matching up.

Dont even try adding bits of colours to lighten or darken, unless you are extremly lucky you will have little or no chance.

Im in the property maintenance business, from painting a small bedroom, to airless spraying a factory, so have tried many times over the years.

Hope that helps
