Australia’s harsh climate and extremely tough UV can cause exterior paint to fade, crack or peel faster than expected. This makes choosing a paint with strong UV resistance essential if you want your home to look good year after year.
With the right preparation, two thorough coats and a quality product, you can achieve a long-lasting finish that will stand up to the elements. Taubmans All Weather® Exterior is designed for these conditions, offering excellent UV protection along with stain and dirt resistance so your façade stays looking fresher for longer.
Wash down the walls with a bucket of soapy water to remove dirt and grime, then rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Use a pressure washer for tough or grimy areas.
Treat any mould with a diluted bleach solution, rinse thoroughly and let dry completely
Scrape away flaking paint and sand back rough or glossy sections
Fill dents, holes or cracks with exterior-grade filler or gap sealant.
Spot prime these repaired areas with Taubmans 3 in 1 Primer Sealer Undercoat for maximum adhesion
Before painting, take a few minutes to protect what you don’t want painted.
Temporarily move pot plants, hoses and outdoor furniture away from the walls.
Apply painter’s tape around trims, windows, doors and fittings
Use drop cloths to cover paths, decks or any surfaces close to the house.
For exterior walls, we recommend:
Taubmans All Weather® Exterior: Self-priming, UV resistant, mould and mildew resistant, and built to resist blistering, peeling and dirt.
Taubmans Sunproof® Exterior: Fast-drying, self-priming and protects against cracking.
You’ll also need:
230mm or 270mm roller frame with 9–12mm nap roller cover
Paint tray and roller pole
Spray gun (if applicable)
Angled paint brush for edges and detail areas
Always paint from the top down. Begin with gutters, then fascias and eaves
For gutters and fascias, use a brush rather than a roller for accuracy.
Next, move on to the walls.
Weatherboards: Use a small roller, brush or spray gun.
Brick or render: Use a spray or an extra-long nap roller
Work in sections, keeping a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
Paint trims and window frames last, keeping windows open while painting so they don’t stick shut
Once the paint is dry, carefully remove tape and replace plants, hoses and outdoor items.
Painting your home’s exterior is a big job, but with the right preparation and Taubmans exterior paints, you’ll get a finish that looks great and lasts. Take your time with the prep, work top to bottom, and enjoy the transformation of your home’s façade.
