Heritage Paint Colours

Weatherboard houses are great to add a splash of colour to. What if you’re in a heritage overlay area? Well you should just check out the heritage colours, it’s not just Brunswick Green, Indian Red and Classic Cream!! Infact the ranges can be a little eye opening. Please refer to your local council, they will have a list and, they even have colour specialist to help and sign off your colour scheme.

Even though you can’t see it, this house has a bright ‘Red’ front door. So if you’re not feeling brave enough, only paint the door! You can always paint it another colour next season.

We, as painters, enjoy working with colour, and trust us we aren’t going to leave your house looking like it’s in a maelstrom.

Paints Used:
- Stucco/Weatherboards: Weathershield Low Sheen ‘Deep Ocean’
- Trim: Weathershield Gloss ‘Surf Mist’
- Front Door: Dulux Super Enamel High Gloss ‘True Red’
” That looks bloody brilliant!!!! Thank you!”

Exterior House Painters Kensington – The Seventies Dream House
Exterior House Painters Kensington – The Seventies Dream House

“Nostalgia, remembering better times, when I was young, things were better then.” – We as Exterior House Painters Kensington, know better.

When you have little to no choice with the painting, you have to work with what you’ve got. And that’s what happened here. Rather than paint over and try to hide the ‘SEVENTIES’, and some people try to, this customer embraced it and worked with it.

Painted so it now looks like a sharp, hip trendsetting seventies, Lou Reed if you will, rather than the faded old embarrassment, Brotherhood of Man. Ask your parents.

Painting Techniques:

On a serious note, this one posed a couple of painting problems.

The first, access. Access is always an issue with painting. Simply put, how do we get to the surface we need to paint. This one had small walls in the areas we needed to put to ladders to reach the top of the building.

The second, render. Render can be very hard to paint. Sometimes it’s so dry that even a brush stroke is impossible. This also means much more paint is needed. Render also shows brush and lap marks, so cold, damp days can be best!

Paints Used:
- Dulux Weathershield Masionary Matt ‘Domino’
- Dulux Killrust Flat Black – the gate

“Colour, finally there’s some colour in my life! Monochrome no more. Stuff of childrens’ stories and childhood games.” – East Melbourne House Painters

Painting Hallways in Style

We originally painted this front door over five years ago, it took an amazing 9 coats! We added 2 more this time to tidy it up. Guess this customer knew pineapples would be in 5 years ago! Some people just have it.

Making an entrance with style. It’s very important to convey all you want from the hallway, because sometimes that’s all the outside world sees of your house. Have you noticed Victorian houses tend to have a hallway of two halves, divided by the arch, midway. The first half decorative and well painted, the second half functional and a little drab. So getting it right can be difficult.

Hallways tend to be narrow and dark, another problem when choosing paint colours. You can either paint light and airy or go the opposite, as this client, paint dark and moody. The middleground is nowhere.

Paints Used:

No humdrum here, bravely she chose:
- Porters Paints Eggshell ‘Mayfair’
- Porters Paints Aqua Enamel Gloss ‘Yellow Brick Road’
- Dulux Super Enamel Semi Gloss ‘Whisper White’

Before and After The Victorian Weatherboard Painters
Victorian Weatherboard Painters Seddon

Victorian Weatherboard houses always provide satisfaction. Taking run down old houses and turning them into gems, is one of the reasons we work as a Victorian Weatherboard painters.

“This one’s a work in progress, hence we should have it 99% done by the end of the week.”

Weatherboard houses are full of character, some of that character is in the lovely little details. However most of that character is usually called maintenance.

Typically a weatherboard house should be painted every 10-15 years, but I’ve seen paint jobs only last a couple of years almost always as a result of a poor job. Due usually to little or no preperation, unprimed boards and, or a poor product was used as a top coat.

We sand, then sand again, between coats and then just because. All new boards are primed, that pink or white stuff the boards are sprayed in is a ‘transit primer’, and not a real primer. As a result our paint job will last. We gap, we fill, we sand. Then we paint, and finally sand and paint.

Paints Used:
- Dulux WeatherShield Low Sheen: Tranquil Retreat
- Lexicon Gloss for Trim
- WeatherShield Gloss: Maximus
- WeatherShield Low Sheen: Flooded Gum
Our wonderful Colour Consultant was employed on this project, and as a result, the house looks great and as for the streetscape, no one can argue with that. See how she can transform your home and your lifestyle. We are your Victorian Weatherboard Painters Seddon.

Interior House Painting

Having worked with this customer and the Architech before, we know the high standards expected of the painting. The basic standard is the Australian Standard AS/NZS 2311, is where we start. We finish at a much higher level, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to achieve faultless, flawless painted ceilings and walls.
