Dulux hog bristle ? For exterior ?
- Thread starter Georod3
- Start date
depends on the surroundings other colors trim, I looked at the colorcharts and its a nice neutral fit anywhere color
is a function of the type of paint, oil/water matt/semi/gloss application method, weather (dries faster & doesnt lay out as well in hot weather) and depends on your status amateur/proffessional
(amateur:how much paint do I need for my wall, proffessional: how much wall can I do with my paint)
using berger trade (thinned 5% with water in 35+ temperatures in Tennant Creek) with good results, in the amateur coverage class hiding imperfections
My painter suggested Hog Bristle. He said it looks lighter outside (I use Hog Bristle 1/4 inside).
On the Dulux website they had a house with some Warm Neutral and some Hog Bristle with another colour (blue) as a feature.

I'm thinking of using warm neutral for the walls and Hog Bristle on the verandah walls to make it stand out. Then a soft white for the windows and uprights etc.

Paint suggestion
Hiya
I once saw a house with exterior paint colour quite similar to this Hog Bristle that i liked. I knocked on the door and the old man graciously allowed me to scrape a 5 cents size coin off the paint on the back of the house.
Took it to Bunnings and hey presto got the exact typing. (it was not Hog BRistle btw)
Not sure if this would help you on your decision making!

looks good to me
i recently renovated this home, went with hog bristle for exterior walls with natural white fascia, trims etc and berger dark bamboo for verandah floor
has come out really nicely, especially with the picket fence painted in the same natural white.
i initially was a bit worried there wouldnt be enough of a contrast (as someone pointed out it looks lighter when applied outside) but im quite happy.
will put some photos up this evening, only have befores with me at work.

i think due to duluxs great marketing people seem to think its the best paint.
i find it good but not better then the others.
my actual preferance is Solver. its well priced, had a nice base and its a smaller Australian owned company, so i usually go with them
as for hog bristle its a nice colour.
what are you painting rendered walls?
