Talk about favorite or hated suppliers, recommend good materials or sources, or anything of the same ilk. This is also a good place to suggest unique ideas and innovations you may have come up with.

Paint color

Post by galleywench »

I'm having trouble deciding on my deck paint color; I have it narrowed down to Interlux Perfection Matterhorn White or Mediterranean White and I am having trouble visualizing based on a paint chip on my monitor. I originally thought Matterhorn White but My non-skid (will be Kiwigrip) is going to be a cream color and it seems like the Med. White has more of a yellow tone.

Any thoughts on either color? Pictures of completed projects would be great to help me visualize better. I'm hoping to order today.

I like the darker color on the deck and the lighter color for the non-skid.

I hadn't considered that scenario. Unfortunately I already have my Kiwigrip in hand so that much of a change would be costly.

If memory serves Tim has tinted Kiwi Grip custom, at the local paint shop...

Might be worth an email to see what is possible.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I already tinted the kiwigrip, I'm really looking to find out some real world photos of Interlux Perfection in Matterhorn White and Mediterranean White.

Send me your email address as a personal message and I will send you a few pictures of my Luders 33 that I finished painting last summer. It is Matterhorn white with Platinum Gray non-skid. I used the interlux poly non-skid paint additive.
I have not figured out this img thing.
