Curious what colour would you paint it. oh and YES you can paint your roof, but you need to clean and seal it first.. Check your roof for any broken or cracked tiles and replace them. To repair any damaged mortar around the ridge capping, remove the capping and apply new mortar and put the capping back in place. Make sure the mortar is dry before you start painting. and use a airless spray gun to paint. Good luck...there is a lot of info and tips about painting a roof on the Net, also YouTube, check out your hardware stores. As they say 'A change is as good as a Holiday' :)

Contact Harmony Roof Tiles, I sure they can give you addresses of their installations, so you can do a drive past. They also have a few outdoor display villages in Perth.

frcrooks, I wouldn't be changing the garage doors and removing the garage gable as the front of the garage will look like a poorly proportioned aircraft hanger. I think you have a good starting point with the teal garage doors and acid yellow front door. One of my clients lived in a very conservative suburb and trusted me with a choice for acid yellow cladding to the entry. Now that it is finished they love it and they get lots of compliments from neighbours about their exterior colours. Best of luck, please don't do another drab Melbourne colour scheme, and consider engaging a professional colour consultant who understands the architectural style of your home.
