    I live in a managed development and we were sent a newsletter to paint our front doors - which I did. The week after the entire block was painted, with cream paint. Hence my nice new door is all spattered in cream paint. Do I have any comeback?

    Errr- no.
    I would have queried the initial newsletter to be honest with you- its highly unusual for a management company to permit unit owners paint the exterior of the property- if you check your lease (that thousand year lease- or whatever length of time)- you will find that the exterior of the building- to include the doors, fascias, window boxes etc- are all the remit of the management company.......

    So- a little bit of a touchup yourself, with a brush is probably in your own best interests- but I'd seriously be chasing the Management Company to do any exterior painting next time.......

    Where the front door belongs to a single unit it is the responsibility of the owner to maintain it but they may not deviate from the colour scheme set down by the management company.

    Our MC arranges for painting of all common area doors and offers own door units the services of the same painter for a small fee. It's complicated trying to organise for own doors to be painted as the owner has to be there to actually open the door. The other thing we do is have the doors painted in a commercially available paint so we can tell all own door owners that the colour is Brand X, Shade Y, matt finish.
