I agree with this.  Using the example of painting the clubhouse, I may be in favour of painting the clubhouse, but not with regards to the colour, or when we should be doing the work, then I would have to vote against the motion as it does not allow me to debate the motion or offer an amendment to the motion. 

Yes, if that's how the motion was presented, i.e., Suspend and Agree, you would have to vote against it if you didn't like the color as would anyone else who didn't like any particular detail of the motion.  That's the nature of Suspend the Rules.

But as Dan pointed out, defeating the motion to Suspend the Rules does not count as a defeat of the underlying motion, so you could move it in the usual amendable form even at the same session, with the color of your choice (subject to amendment).
