A successful repaint is easier to plan when the scope, preparation and working conditions are understood before painting begins. This guide explains the key decisions in clear, practical terms.

Protection starts below the topcoat

Cleaning, scraping, sanding, repairing and priming are essential where old coatings are chalky, peeling or weathered.

Access changes the project

Height, rooflines, neighbouring boundaries and landscaping affect equipment, safety planning and the order in which work is completed.

Inspect before pricing

Because exterior conditions vary, Colourway assesses the property on site before confirming a fixed-price scope and coating system.

Planning your Colourway project

For residential interiors, our online tool gives you an initial estimate from the rooms and surfaces selected. Exterior, commercial and strata work is assessed on site so access, preparation and the correct coating system can be confirmed before fixed pricing.
