Having our Georgian front door fully restored at the moment. Would like a nice glossy blue colour. Have looked a brochures, websites but can't choose. Anyone done similar or have recommendations / colour codes

Cheers
 
Not sure about the colour, I seem to remember B&Q having a niche range of paints the last time I was there. Anyway whoever is doing the job for you make sure they put on the alumimium primer, this seals the wood completely against the weather. I assume they're stripping away all the old paint?
 
Contact the Irish Georgian Society who have a list of tradesmen and product suppliers for Georgian restoration.
