Duck egg blue exterior paint for front door?

clairibel

Hi,

Not sure whether its me but i cannot seem to locate any paint for outside on my front door for a reasonable price in like a duck egg blue or light blue colour, it doesn't matter if its gloss or matt.

Anyone know of anywhere that does it please? Thanks

does your local homebase not match a paint for you?

If not maybe have a look for local paint stores near you and ask if they will mix a colour for you.

I did this last year with an odd colour and it came up perfectly.

Thanks for that, do B & Q do this as homebase is miles away from me or Focus thats the second nearest.

I thought colour matching was just for emulsion type paints and not exterior ones.

I've still not got any yet was waiting until the weather a bit dryer as we have to strip the door first as its a lovely brown paint at the mo

Farrow and ball do the colour i'm after but £40 odd a tin :eek:

I read somewhere that if you can get gloss its much better for exterior doors stops them swelling?

I was even thinking do it in normal paint that i love the colour and then then clear varnish/gloss over?? lol.

Just to let you know Aldi are doing some paint starting today sun 20th and its for all materials external in gloss and matt not loads of colours but the green and blue are not the dark traditional colours, £3.99 a litre......so i was thinking get the blue and white and mix together....hey presto duck egg ish :j
