Timber v Steel frames

You can paint the PVC plastic gutters any color including all colorsteel colors

I've now put up plain white plastic guttering with plastic brackets. I thought I would have to paint them blue to match the roofing colour, but to my surprise they look a million dollars just as they are, not at all out of place. So how about that then?

I found the original metal spouting and brackets that rusted so quickly were not covered by the NZ Steel warranty, another firm made them. They of course have ceased business.
Just amazing how quickly the salt air stuffed them. In less than 5 years, brackets were falling to the ground and the spouting quite severely corroded especially where the brackets touched.
For replacement, I looked at much dearer pre-coloured plastic before deciding on the "traditional" plain white. Worked out well.
