Railings: The blue railing color is standard throughout HHIV.  This color can be requested by the name, "Ink" (code D120) and is on file at Pursel Paints (see below) with the other HHIV colors.  The current recommend paint base is Pittsburgh Paints Industrial Interior/Exterior Semi-Gloss Acrylic Metal Finish, Deep Rustic Mixing Base 7-377.  This base should be much more resistant to chalking than previous paint types.

Front Entry Doors: The approved standard for front entry doors is to use the stucco, siding or trim color assigned to the unit, or the blue railing color. If the unit has a different color or finish that was previously approved by the ACC it may be continued without further approval. If the homeowner is considering changing the front door color/finish to something other than the approved standard colors, he/she must obtain prior approval from the ACC.  Address a note, including a color chip to, the ACC and drop in the HHIV mailbox at 30 Schooner Hill. 

Other Exterior Doors: The main garage door, garage side entry door, and any other exterior door should be painted the siding color assigned to the unit.  The utility door should be painted to match the surrounding area, which is either the stucco or siding color, depending on the unit design.

Paint Resource - Pursel Quality Paints (recently moved to 875 Potter St. in Berkeley [one short block north of Ashby]) has a file for HHIV referencing the exterior paint selections indicated above. When the homeowner or his/her painter goes to Pursel Paints, provide the paint color names and numbers to the salesperson, making sure to tell the salesperson that the home is part of Hiller Highlands Four Homeowners' Association (HHIV) and remind them that the HHIV colors are on file.  Paint samples are available from the association; contact the ACC Chair when appropriate.
