Dollar dazzle

A specialised combination of Resene Armourcote 220, Uracryl 401, Imperite IF 503 Metallics and an Imperite IF 503 clear glaze coat was spray applied over the fibreglass spandrels to give an exciting and durable metallic finish. The metallic theme was continued into the rear wall area with Resene Enamacryl Metallic applied by roller.

The aluminium windows were treated to an engineered coating system of Armourcote 220, followed by two topcoats of Uracryl 402 for maximum durability in a semi-gloss finish.

The distinctive palette of Metallic colours, including Resene Obsession (metallic purple), Resene Digital Blue (metallic blue) and Resene Stargate (silver), has transformed the TSB Centre into a literally dazzling New Plymouth landmark.
