Whole-Home White Repaint Transformation

Currumbin Waters, Gold Coast, QLD

This whole-home repaint focused on refreshing a two-storey coastal property by implementing a precise coating system, not just a colour change. The primary goal was to achieve maximum durability against high UV, humidity, and salt-prone air, while creating a cohesive, light-amplifying aesthetic consistent with a modern holiday-home feel.

The project was completed for Revolution Projects, coordinated on site with Travis Egar, and executed by TMM Painting & Decorating.

Project Snapshot:

Project Type: Interior + Exterior Repaint (Whole property)
Location: 74 Cyclades Cres, Currumbin Waters, Gold Coast, QLD
Duration: 5 weeks (Dedicated task)
Colour Used: Dulux professional white system (light-driven aesthetic)

The Value of a Whole-Home Repaint

A professional repaint goes far beyond surface aesthetics; it is a vital injection of energy and protection into a property. Over time, coastal exposure dulls colours, reduces reflectivity, and compromises the material’s structural defence. By executing this comprehensive repaint, we immediately brought back the house’s livelihood and vibrancy.

The carefully selected white system instantly made the property feel brighter, newer, and more inviting, delivering superior kerb appeal and reinforcing the home’s critical defence against the harsh Queensland climate.

Coating Systems Applied by Surface

The successful execution relied on selecting flexible, trade-quality acrylic systems designed to unify the property’s varied substrates (cladding, render, and metal) under a single, durable white finish.

Cladding & Weatherboard Walls

Coats: 2 x times Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen
Type: Water-based exterior acrylic (Flexible, UV-resistant, and breathable system essential for timber cladding).

Render Walls

Coats: 1 x Dulux Green Render Sealer, followed by 2 x Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen
Type: Water-based sealer combined with a flexible acrylic build system specifically chosen to manage the movement and moisture exposure of coastal façades.

Soffits / Eaves

Coats: 2 x Dulux Weathershield Matt/Low Sheen
Type: Water-based exterior acrylic (System ensures soft light reflection and salt-air durability without glare).

Downpipes

Coats: 2 x Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen
Type: Water-based exterior acrylic protection system for metal components.

Worksite & Scope Compliance Factors

Coordinating a whole-home repaint requires strict adherence to project management standards, especially when working with construction partners and complex access requirements.

Our compliance standards included:

Coatings aligned to the AS/NZS 2311 durability framework.
Transparent quoting based strictly on takeoff scope and agreed specifications.
Daily site clean-up and organisation maintained throughout the five-week duration.
Height access over 3m coordinated per project safety requirements.

The Transformation: What Changed the Most?

The successful application of a professional coating system delivered significant structural and aesthetic improvements beyond a simple colour change:

Before Repainting:

Coastal surfaces absorbed light unevenly, creating patchy, dull reflections.
Existing render and metal surfaces lacked long-life sealers, increasing wear and corrosion risks.

After Repainting:

Ambiance: Rooms feel immediately larger and brighter, with sunlight carrying deeper through hallways and corners without structural modifications.
Surface Unity: The façade, cladding, metalwork, and eaves read as a unified finish—not chalky, patchy, or glossy.
Durability: Low sheen finishes preserve softness, and flexible acrylic coatings reduce the corrosion risk while extending the overall service life of the property.

The white transformation delivered longevity and a cohesive, light-amplifying aesthetic crucial for high-value coastal properties.
