## Issue Description:
- Acrylic Render providers offer renders with colour mixed in as a way to reduce the required numbers of applications to finish a wall.
- The reality is that external walls will require additional patching etc to finish of the walls.
- It is not possible to color match colored renderd walls as the paint colors will differ from coloured render.
- A better solution is to use white colored render, then paint the wall with a coloured paint.
- If patching is required the wall can be painted to the nearest expansion joints.
## Actions to Prevent this Issue:
- [ ] Ensure that all rendered walls are finished with a coat of paint - colored render will not be accepted as the final finish.
