Visualising the finish with Resene RenderRite
Visualising the final colour scheme on a specific building is a difficult task for even the most talented design professional, let alone for those focussing on a wide range of non colour design tasks. Even more difficult is selecting the right colour scheme from alternatives without a link back to the actual building being coated.
Colour schemes are fickle – a colour scheme that will look perfect on one building, will often lose its appeal if used on another building for which it was not intended. Likewise the right colour scheme on the right building, can take the finished design from satisfactory to superb.
Selecting the best colour scheme for the Griffins complex has been simplified with Resene RenderRite – a service where photos of the building to be painted are scanned into a computer and recoloured using electronic colours matched to Resene paint colours. Upon presentation of a selection of rendered images, the final colour scheme was able to be easily selected.
The entire complex was coated in two coats of Resene Hi-Glo, before the signwriters moved in to add the finishing touch – the famous Griffins brand name.
The main walls are coated in Resene Hi-Glo tinted to Resene Tea, offset with complementary Resene Spanish White on windows and trim. The use of Resene Mid Grey on the roofs has provided a clean elegant look together with the deep grey Resene Tuna of the entry infills and the main fence. The whole colour scheme was brought to life and linked back to the Griffins brand name through the use of a specially mixed red Resene Griffins Red used on the top capping.
The Griffins Wainui Road, Lower Hutt premises now proudly reflect the quality that has long been associated with the Griffins brand.
