Right impression

The Pavilions Apartments

When luxury accommodation is your business, immaculate paintwork is a must to ensure your guests get the right impression before they are welcomed indoors.

The Pavilions Apartments, nestled under Mt Maunganui and a road crossing away from the beach, have undergone a full exterior repaint to rejuvenate the street frontage and provide protection from the prevailing natural conditions of windborne salt and sand, an aggressive combination that tests even the highest quality paint finishes.

The Resene RenderRite electronic colouring service was used to visualise the selected colour scheme on the building before the painting commenced, ensuring that all parties were in agreement on the final look to be created before a single can of paint was opened.

Coated liberally in Resene X-200 weathertight membrane, a popular neutral palette of Resene Double Fossil (green beige) and Resene Double Grey Olive (green beige) was combined with gates finished in Resene Diesel (red black) for a minimalist finish that would complement, rather than overpower, the building's style and environment.

The right scheme to sit this complex comfortably into the streetscape.
