Giving the inside of your home a splash of elegance
When bright paint colours are used in interior spaces, the effect will typically be that rooms will seem bigger and more open. Elegant even. Different shades of white can also be used with light colours from other hue groups to accomplish this effect.

Hi guys, On the weekend someone graffitied our relatively new fence. The posts were powdercoated with Dulux in monument. I managed to take the black graffiti off with methylated spirits and isopropyl alcohol, but it's dulled the powdercoat. By dulled I mean less shine and looks like a shade or two lighter than the original semigloss monument. Is it possible to restore it back to original state? Can this be achieved by polishing it? What product(s)/process would you recommend? Thanks! NB: No clear coat applied, just semigloss Dulux powdercoat.
