i am on an extension at the moment and the outside needs to be matched with the exesting render,the only way i can describe it is that it looks like pebble dash and 100 coats of paint :-\ i chipped back the exesting to have a look and theres no sign of any stone at all.its just sand,anyone ever seen or done the same thing ??? the bungalow was built in the 40s if that helps thx

could you not just tyroplean it mate? if you get the green gun you can change the type of spray. put it to the larger setting

what type of finish is it steve, tyroplean is that
 
Re: MYSTERY RENDER

tyrolean kind of looks like painted dash. its hard to explain. you mix it like (french word) and use a gun thats got prongs inside and it flicks it at the wall covering it in tiny splatters. you have to do a minimum of 3 coats really.

you can get a cheap metal gun which is s**t or buy/hire this type. like i said you can change the thickness it applys the tyrolean with the green gun

Both on the right track i think , try some test panels to find out , using different consistency's etc till the right
finish is acheived
 
looks as warrior says - a slurry coat mixed on site randomly, i think if you chuck a tyro over the whole lot it would look better

not touching existing ,just extension on back of house
 
I think the trick here is not to worry about how they have come up with that finish but what you can do to replicate it. I think a wet dash with possibly a slurry over the top if it still doesn't blend well enough being the answer here, as I think someone may have already suggested. Do a test panel (not necessarily on the wall) without worrying about curing times and in one day you should know if you've cracked it.
