Jon......Thanks for the info, but when I started to go through the process of downloading the program it started to give me a whole bunch of other crap and I stopped the whole process. I'm not much of a "computer techy" and things like this really bother me. Whenever I download something anymore my heartbeat goes up about 30% because of some bad pass experiences. I'll have to go back to the site and look at it a little closer. What I know now though is that when I try to open ChiefTalk now (or anything else) I get taken to "advertisement sites" first. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of them. Thank God for grandchildren . They are "my" computer techys. Have a great day OldCKD......Do you have a name? (the handle doesn't fit the picture ) Thanks for taking the time to find and do the jps. They are very close to what I'm after (especially the first one). I must get a program and learn how to do that. Have a great day.

"OLDCKD"...........When I blend a light grey color with my textured red vertical siding I get a textured light grey siding. I wish for a way to get a semi-transparent light grey over the red but with the red not being completly covered. I guess I'm going to have to invest in Paint Shop and learn that program. Man, I'm getting too old to learn new stuff!

Nicinus...Post the plan! You will save yourself and especially everyone trying to help you much grief.

Dennis......Is there a way to add a semi-transparent color (washed over look) to a color already on the siding? I have a "barn red" color on the vertical siding. When I "blend" a color to the vertical siding texture, what I get is just a different color on the siding. May be that I'm just not "getting it" to what you are trying to explain to me. You have seen from the picture in my first thread what I'm after. I'll give you a Dropbox link to my model and you can see what I have for a color at present. Maybe what I want is not possible. Dealing with colors and textures is not a "strong suit" of mine. Appreciate your time. Dropbox link---- https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49042923/BOYD%20STATION%2002212014%20CREAME.zip

I have a client that I'm designing an office building for that has a "barn look". He sent me a picture of the finish "effect" he wants on the exterior (attachment). Is it possible to get this "washed" effect in CA and if so then how? As always, all advice is greatly appreciated.
