Prestained Or Painted Hardi Plank, Where Do You Get Matching Caulk/touch Up Paint?
Need to give a bid to a customer for residing his house with Hardi Plank. He has inquired about the pre painted/stained material. Where do you get the matching caulk and touch up color? Is this something you can get from Hardi or?
Thanks for your input. |

You can usually get a matching caulking at a contractors supply house.

Agreed.. If you go through a reputable distributor they will have those items available as well.

Re: Prestained Or Painted Hardi Plank, Where Do You Get Matching Caulk/touch Up Paint?
I had the same problem when I did a house with prefinished fiber cement board. The customer picked out a dark green custom color siding with biscuit colored trim boards. I could not find any green caulk that matched remotely close to the siding, and using biscuit caulk would have been a mess. Fortunately my lumberyard rep clued me in on a product called Create a Color. It is a 35 year siliconized latex caulk. All you do is mix in 2 teaspoons of latex paint and you have a perfect match to your siding. It works nicely, in fact I was doing some caulking today with it.
