“Icy Orange” sounds like the latest Dulux colour name or a delicious cocktail you should be sipping in the tropical Whitsundays. Not the case in the New South Wales central west, as Australian’s were unexpectedly hit by Winter this year, for the 268th year in a row.

Looking outside you could be mistaken for thinking it was peak ski season at Thredbo. Some parts of Orange experienced are buried under a metre of snow. Check out the photos, thanks to Joe from Interwest.

Here are some warmer XpressTint colours to keep the blood circulating..

What does an average weekend look like for members of the XpressTint community? We’d like to think that they are hard at work, religiously cleaning the nozzle of their spray guns and replacing the filters in their spray rooms, but that’s not always the case. Weekend XpressTinters – or “XTenders” are always busy.

If you were to visit North Rockhampton, you’d probably catch Russell from All Hours Glass, spray gun in hand, working on his boat.

The Gloss Black looks unreal on the boat and the graphics definitely make it stand out. Russell is a glazier by trade, but we think he has a future in the marine landscape

If you are interested in doing something similar, you could get a great result from making up some paint in your XpressTint machine using the Glass 640 Gloss paint. 640 has naturally terrific exterior durability and as such, has good resistance to salt water and the sun, so it would be great to apply to a boat that isn’t permanently submerged.

If you have our 940 Exterior Ceramevic installed in your XpressTint system, this would work great too and has similar exterior durability and resistance.

I haven’t been invited fishing yet, but I imagine the invite is in the mail. Nice job Russell.
