Need help finding a texture

[Chris308]

I need a good texture for dark grey aluminum siding that is a relatively small file to use on the outside walls of a house project. I've done a search, but haven't had any luck finding one. If it's a lighter shade, or different color, I might be able to adjust it with a photo editing program I have. Any help with this will be appreciated. Thanx.

Hmm - here aluminium sidings come in all shapes, kind of hard point you in the right direction without knowing your flavour. If you add some more detail to your description, it sounds like something that could be added to SF 3d models 351. ok

Basically I'm just looking for an aluminum siding texture that I can use to cover the outside walls of a house. I have chrome and aluminum textures already, but can't use them for obvious reasons. I have a pretty decent texture that I made for a project using dreamplan, but it won't work in sweethome. I was going to attach a jpeg to give you an idea what I'm looking for, but for some reason it won't let me. It doesn't have to be dark grey. If it's another color, I might be able to change it to the color I need using ACDSee. Assuming it will work like that. I'm not sure on that part. Let me know what you think. If you need anymore info, let me know.

The link in my above post, is an example of colorizing / desaturation. Should be pretty straightforward (don't know ACDsee, though). The examples in the link, will tile seamlessly (but the tall ones need to be > than wall height. But then, maybe you are need a very different alu siding. If you send the jpg to me by e-mail (sent you an e-mail), I can have a look at it.
