What if I want a colour that isn’t part of the ColorPlus® colour palette?
We designed our ColorPlus® colour palette with the help of colour expert Leslie Harrington to cater to environmental, architectural and cultural factors of each region. If the ColorPlus palette doesn’t have what you’re looking for, we still offer primed siding products that can be painted any colour you’d like. For more information, please visit JamesHardie.com.

Can I paint over my ColorPlus® siding? What kind of paint do you recommend using?
While ColorPlus® technology provides the longest lasting finish available from James Hardie, you can still paint over it at any time using traditional exterior 100% acrylic paint from the retailer of your choice.
