An aerial photograph of new cars at Fremantle Port tells the story of modern car colours — a sea of white, dotted with some grey/silver and black, with only occasional splashes of red or blue.
When we built our house, we specifically ordered SurfMist Blue (which is a very white colour with a hint of powder blue).
The stupid fucking builder installed WoodLand Grey. They had to tear the whole roof off our two storey and re-clad it in the correct colour.
The rents needed a new roof lately, I showed them the stats for surfmist compared to dark colourbond (which they wanted initially)
But they settled on zinc-alum which is not quite as good as surf mist for the heat, but much cheaper and still good.
They’re in North West Victoria, hits 45 all the time in summer and weeks of 35+ easy.
Don’t buy blue in the aussie sun, it cracks and weathers faster than even black.
Now why we have so many dark coloured colourbond roofs for the crazy heat is beyond me.
