We are looking to paint our back fence and we can’t decide between Dulux Monument or Dulux Domino.
Has anybody painted with either and give me your thoughts?
Thanks 😀
Hi @NickiC,
Welcome to Workshop. There's certainly examples of both colours shared by members here in the community as they are very popular choices and commonly used. Both are great choices and really help make any nearby greenery stand out.
I recommend you check out these discussions and projects:
Hope that helps,
Jason
Big fan of Domino @NickiC - nice bold colour.
I've painted a feature wall/pillar on front of my house with it, by front doors and a shiplap cladding feature wall inside my house.
Works amazingly well contrasting greenery, timber and concrete.
Thanks Jason I’ll check them out 😀
Thanks Pete appreciate your reply. I’m leaning towards Domino as I think it will look great against the greenery but my husband wants Monument so will let you know how we go 😀
Hey!
Go with Monument. That was my big decision too between those two colours. Check out my uploads 🙂
Well we ended up choosing Dulux Monument and it looks amazing. I’ve uploaded a photo so hopefully you can see it. We also added the following items from Bunnings - hubby created a bar area and used some fake grass that was on special for $39 which looks great and also added some shade sails. We also added some decorative pieces to the fence. Now onto the next project
Looks fantastic. Well done @NickiC and many thanks for sharing. Great choice!
Thanks Jason for your guidance. We are really happy with how it 😀
You should be really pleased. I've added your photo to your first post so we can feature it on our Project Gallery. I'm sure plenty of others will be inspired by your work.
Thanks again, let us know what you are planning to tackle next! We're happy to help.
Thanks Jason. We have even inspired the next door neighbours and they want to paint their fence now in Monument so hopefully my photo can inspire others.
have just put up a post about paint colours inside as that’s our next project 😀
This is out next project, did you use a spray gun or just roller and brush? We would prefer to use a spray gun (time saver) but wary of overspray to ours and neighbours property
Hi @butters,
Let me mention @NickiC so they are alerted to your question.
You might be interested in checking out @Jason's discussion Backyard fence makeover about his project. I know he used a spray gun and Dulux RapidFinish. He also mentions "You do need to cover surfaces you don't want to get paint on, like brickwork for example. Although the gun is reasonably accurate there will be splatter, so preparation is important" and to "cut in with a brush and use a large piece of cardboard to shield"
I hope this helps.
