Exterior Wall Patches

[Craig8861996]

Hello everyone, so a few months back I had some work done on exterior wall, structural rods installed etc, the two lads that then filled the walls back in have done quite a poor job in colour matching to the rest of the house and now looks a right eye sore. What's peoples best advice for me to try colour correct these patches? I'm out of ideas

I expect they'll weather to be more like the rest of the house over time.

It looks like your house is 'natural' render. You could paint the whole thing, but I wouldn't as you then create a job for life, or every few years, and some oeopld say you shouldn't paint a render at all. It will tone down but will take years.

You can buy cement colouring in a range if colours (it should really be added to the cement when mixing) but I would be tempted to make up a weak solution and try painting a bit on - it could take quite a long time as you would have to make a mixture, paint it on, just the new bits, let it dry over a couple if days to what colour it ends up with, doing a small test area each time. There is a risk it will look worse at the end of this.

Or you could try rubbing some soil on it to give it some 'age'
