I am hoping someone can help me - we want to touch up some of the walls in our apartment but we don't want to repaint all the walls in a room does anybody know the make and colour of the paint used in our apartments and if so any ideas where we can purchase some?

Thanks

Hi Pamela,
Try this paint shop below and quote Arenal Golf Development

The shop Febrisur on the road towards Arroyo de la Miel knows the type and color code of the paint used on our exterior walls and for the original yellowish color on the inside walls.

is this the ferrateria that is next to the empty store which used to be Reteir?
thanks

As far as I know it is you'll see on their website,Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Dave.

Thanks

I'll try this out when we are there in just over two weeks and report back in case anybody else needs info on the paint.

We are in Arenal Duquesa and were told by the aftersales dept that the new paint shop near the development had the correct paint in stock.
We needed about a cupful of each paint, but were told that 4 litres was the minimum, so we paid up and took them home.
Both the interior and exterior colours were wrong !!
It appears that the development was originally painted "quite yellow" on the outside and "slightly yellow on the inside.    When they put on the final coats before starting the completions, it had been toned down to "a slightly creamy yellow" on the outside and "almost magnolia" on the inside, but no one seemed to know what the colours actually were.
We managed to persuade the shop manager to let us borrow his one and only colour chart while he had lunch and managed to get a good match on the interior.  The exterior is still slightly out, but OK for touching up.
The new colours are much nicer that the originals.

Thanks for this info could you let me have the name of the paint that you said matched for the inside as that is the most important for us.  I would assume they used the same paint for both Arenal developments as they probably got a job lot

Hi Pamela,
The paint has no name as it was chosen from a huge colour swatch with thousands of colours.  We just quoted the reference number on the sample and they just entered it into the computer, put a can of pure white paint into the mixing machine and 3 minutes later, we had the right colour.
As the staff at the development have no idea what paint they are using, it is unlikely that Duquesa and Golf paint would be the same.

ok thanks understand.  We will try and do the same then with our local fereteria
