HOUSE PAINTS FOR DIY-ERS & PROFESSIONALS
Choosing the right house paint can make or break your project. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or painting an entire property, we stock Wattyl and other leading brands that deliver both beauty and endurance.
Our range covers interior and exterior paints, each formulated for Australian conditions — from UV resistance that slows fading to easy-clean finishes that stand up to kids, pets and daily wear. For outdoor areas, we recommend paints with UV-absorbing technology and self-priming capability, helping you save time and maintain rich, consistent colour for years.
DIY customers love our guidance on how to achieve professional finishes — from surface prep to choosing the right rollers and primers. Trade professionals appreciate our bulk order options, fast turnaround, and custom colour matching. The result: smoother application, less waste, and a finish that truly lasts.
ARCHITECTURAL PAINTS FOR RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL PROJECTS
For large-scale or high-visibility projects, architectural paint performance is everything. Our products are engineered for durability, coverage and design flexibility — ideal for homes, offices, schools and commercial spaces.
We supply weather-resistant, washable and low-VOC paints to keep surfaces looking pristine while protecting both people and property. These are perfect for clients seeking modern interiors with long-term value. Our in-store design bar lets you test colours under realistic lighting conditions, ensuring the right choice every time.
Need advice on achieving an exact finish? Our staff — including former professional painters — can guide you through paint systems, primers and application techniques. You’ll get the coverage and longevity you need with fewer coats and less maintenance, saving time and money.
OUTDOOR & DECKING PAINTS, STAINS & OILS
Outdoor spaces are where quality coatings truly prove their worth. Canberra’s weather can be harsh — from blazing summers to frosty winters — so we supply decking oils, stains and outdoor paints designed to handle extreme conditions.
Our range includes UV-resistant decking finishes that reduce cracking and peeling, enhancing both protection and colour vibrancy. Timber stains and oils penetrate deep to nourish the wood, preventing warping and moisture damage. We’ll recommend the right product for your specific timber type, whether it’s a deck, pergola or fence.
Homeowners love the peace of mind that comes from knowing their outdoor finishes will stand the test of time, with less maintenance and more weekends free to enjoy the results.
SPECIALTY PAINTS FOR UNIQUE PROJECTS
Every project is different — that’s why we offer a wide selection of specialty paints. From chalk paint for shabby-chic furniture makeovers to custom aerosols for precise touch-ups, our products help turn your creative ideas into professional-quality results.
Our furniture paints provide a durable, chip-resistant finish that elevates even older pieces, while timber stains and decking paints protect surfaces without hiding their natural grain. And if you need a specific hue, our computerised colour-matching service ensures a perfect match every time — eliminating guesswork and costly mistakes.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PAINT FOR YOUR PROJECT
Selecting the right paint type and finish can be overwhelming, but our experts make it easy. We’ll help you decide between:
- Water-based vs. solvent-based paints depend on surface and drying time.
- Matte, satin or gloss finishes based on durability and design goals.
- Low-VOC options for indoor air quality and sustainability.
- Primer and sealant advice to ensure adhesion and smoothness.
We’ll even walk you through preparation and application steps — helping you avoid peeling, uneven texture and wasted product. With us, you’ll always get the right paint, applied the right way, for results that exceed expectations.
