From the What's New archive - September 2009
Through the use of skilled labour and sponsorship for equipment and materials, the kaupapa of MARAE DIY has helped over 35 marae around the country to stretch their precious putea that much further and knock out their five or 10-year plans in just four days.
The latest series of Marae DIY filmed throughout 2008 and airing in 2009 features Resene paint. Many of the colour selections are from the Resene Heritage colour range as the deep reds and neutrals fit well with Maori heritage too.
The maraes of Te Patunga (Northland), Hurunga (Rotorua), Motairehe (Great Barrier), Marokopa (Waitomo), Rangataua (Whakatane), Waiti (Matamata) and Kaiwhaiki (Wanganui) soaked up copious buckets of Resene paint. The paint selections included Environmental Choice approved Resene Hi-Glo waterborne gloss, Resene Sonyx 101 waterborne semi-gloss and Resene Lumbersider waterborne satin on exterior areas complemented by Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel, Resene Enamacryl gloss waterborne enamel on trim and joinery and Resene Zylone Sheen waterborne low sheen and Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel on interior walls. Selected flooring areas were finished in either Resene Waterborne Sidewalk or Resene Non-Skid Deck and Path and selected fencing in Resene Waterborne Woodsman timber stain.
The transformation from weathered to painted is visually striking and demonstrates the power of the humble paint finish.
