I was able tro remove most overspray using a pressure washer with a fine (black I think) nozzle and 2800psi; need to be careful though.

As long as people are answering, what about Heartland HeartTech?

I wouldn't want what I ordered - and was paid for. Anything other than that is a ridiculous notion. These are some descriptions, to note a few significant differences. Research thoroughly before proceeding! So you should swallow it and have faded siding/replacement potential down the road? Shorter lengths with more visible seams etc? Does it look different to you and do you like it as much? Be clear on the differences and be alright with them. And make sure which is being invoiced! Your GC is getting paid to watch over the project and to correct errors along the way (not at your expense!). So far he is not doing the job he is there to provide. Making it right is now his problem. He is lucky you were paying attention, before the whole house was done.

Did you paint or stain your brick? It's hard to tell since one picture is so much darker than the other one. With your house being mostly siding there are many colors that would probably work, grays, tans, taupe, blues, sage greens . . . In addition I would look at removing the shutters from the double window under the porch and if you're going to keep them on the upper windows they should be replaced with wider shutters, appropriate in size to your windows.
