It looks to stark. But what do I know about looks? So just consider the source and ask yourself - "Do I like it?" Really, that's all that maters. :thinking:

Just another opinion but I agree with Gage. I think it needs to be more towards tan or light brown to go with your sides. It just seems way too bright.

I wasn't going to say anything but since they did I have to agree. The white (excuse me, light tan) is a bit too stark. A yellowish color or darker tan to more match the old color would look softer, but that's just my opinion. All that matters is what YOU think.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

Jeez, I hate to say this, but the Three of you are right. The paint in the can looks darker than when it dried. I was looking for a color close to the original , but this was the darkest tan they had, and the next choice would have been a solid brown. This is a two part epoxy deck paint, and costs about $50.00 a litre. At that price the color looks great!!! :D

Maybe next year I will invest in a couple of cans and mix my own....... :roll:
