When it comes to paint for Gold Coast properties, you need to select long-lasting, high-performance products. Lots of sun and surf means seriously challenging conditions for Gold Coast paintwork.
From blazing UV rays to salty sea breezes and tropical humidity, our property exteriors are in the firing line. That’s why choosing the right paint — and the right painter — makes all the difference.
Read on to see what we at VS Paintings recommend.
☀️ Why Paint Choice Matters for Your Gold Coast Property?
The glorious Gold Coast climate can be unforgiving, so choosing paint for your property does matter. Here are just a few of the challenges your property could face:
- Intense UV exposure — leads to paint fading and cracking
- High humidity — leads to mould and blistering
- Salt-laden air — leads to corroding and peeling surfaces
- Heavy storms and rainfall — can lead to a litany of damages
By choosing paints that are resistant to these elements, you’ll reduce your maintenance tasks and enjoy better year-round protection for your property.
🎨 Best Paint Finishes for Gold Coast Conditions
Acrylic Exterior Paints
Acrylic paints are flexible, UV-resistant and breathable — ideal for timber, brick, or render. These paints make an ideal choice for most Gold Coast properties.
TOP PICK: Dulux Weathershield, which is specially formulated for Australian conditions.
Low-Sheen or Matt Finishes
Glossy finishes can look impressive, but imperfections tend to show up more and the finish fades faster in the sun. Under strong light, low-sheen or matt finishes hold up better and have a clean, modern look.
Mould-Resistant Formulas
For bathrooms, kitchens and shady outdoor walls, select paints that have been formulated with mould inhibitors.
🌈 Exterior Colour Trends on the Gold Coast
The colour trend for painting Gold Coast properties clearly favours earthy neutrals and soft coastal tones.
Here are some of the currently reigning paint colour choices:
- Warm greys and greiges (grey-beige blends)
- Sandstone and clay hues
- Deep navy or charcoal for modern contrast
- Whites with warm undertones for Hamptons-style homes
Need help choosing a paint colour palette? We offer a colour consultation service that will help you select the best paint for your property’s style, surroundings, and sun exposure.
🏠 How to Choose Your Interior Paint
Exterior paint taken care of, you also need to think carefully about inside your property. Interior paints need to hold up to humidity and everyday wear.
For most rooms, washable low-sheen acrylic will works beautifully. Semi-gloss or gloss is ideal for high-moisture areas like kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. There are also surfaces other than your walls, such as doors, trims, ceilings and cabinetry.

✅ Pro Tips from the Gold Coast Professionals at VS Paintings
Don’t skip the prep
Surface preparation is just as important as the paint itself. This is why we focus on proper patching, sanding and priming.
Always use quality materials
Cheap paint always means early peeling and more repainting. We use top-tier Dulux paints — proven in Queensland conditions. And of course, we also use professional grade tools for all paint applications.
Re-coat every 7–10 years
This would especially apply if you’re near the coast or surrounded by trees.
