Hi all ! New to this forum so any help would be appreciated House is only around 10 years old but we are going to repaint Half the house is weatherboard , and half plaster (as per photos) We are wanting to go with greys , we are thinking darker grey weather board and lighter plaster ? The aluminium joinery is a light grey (almost exact to Dulux Timeless grey) We are struggling to get the right theme or idea on what we should do We were thinking Dulux Taihape for weather board , but unsure what to do with the plaster.. Ideas or opinions much appreciated ! (Sorry about quality of photos , I ran outside in the rain just to post this)

I would look at colour samples next to actual sample of the schist to be used. Take that to a local paint/render shop and look at them together. Looking at your image, the schist looks to be a golden schist rather than a grey. Is this just the way it has been shown? I would check with the suppliers for the actual colour of stone to be used as there are a lot of possibilities and the colour will affect your colour choice for the plaster. Here are a few websites showing some schist colours: https://www.worldofstone.co.nz/stone-mason/stone-masonry/schist https://wanakastone.co.nz/style/ Also consider the visibility of your mortar and its colour. Keep in mind that depending on your render system, you may be even more restricted in LRV, as some systems require an LRV of no less than 40%.

We have just brought a 1970s home which has painted wallpaper. We stripped the wallpaper in one of the small rooms (about 10m2 of wall). We were hoping to re-plaster and paint the walls ourselves as a plasterer would cost approx. $1,900+GST (including paint). The wallpaper came off easily enough but there are definitely some little imperfections in the old plasterboard which need fixing. Also, the joins between the plasterboard have been plastered but not taped beforehand. We were told that if we want to get a good finish, we would need to cut the groove out, re-tape and plaster over. It may be easier to just replace the gib, scotia and skirtings? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
