Exterior Painting
Paint is easy.
Getting it right isn't.
Your home's exterior takes a beating from the Wellington and Kāpiti climate. UV, salt air, wind, and rain will expose every shortcut a painter takes. We don't take shortcuts.

What goes wrong when it's not done right
Exterior paint failure is almost always a process failure, not a product failure. When the prep is skipped or the wrong system is used, no amount of premium paint will save the job. Here is what we see most often.
- Paint applied directly over cracked or porous surfaces
- Wrong primer used for the substrate type
- Insufficient film build leaving the surface exposed
- Painting in poor weather conditions, causing adhesion failure
- No sealant around windows and doors, allowing moisture in
- Low-quality paint that fades and chalks within two to three years
The Colour Homes approach
How we get it right
We are a Dulux Accredited Painter. That means we are qualified to specify and apply the full Dulux coating system for your substrate. Every exterior we paint follows a proven process designed for the New Zealand climate.
Condition Assessment
We inspect every surface, identify risks, and specify the correct Dulux coating system before any work begins.
Surface Preparation
Full wash, sand, fill, and prime. This is where most exterior paint jobs succeed or fail.
Dulux Coating System
The right primer, the right intermediate coat, the right topcoat. Applied at the correct film build and drying intervals.
Sealants and Details
All penetrations, joints, and window surrounds sealed correctly to prevent moisture entry.
Quality Check and Cleanup
We walk the job with you before we leave. Your site is left clean and tidy.

Why it matters
What Dulux Accreditation actually means
Dulux Accreditation is not something you apply for on a website. It is awarded by invitation only, to a tiny number of painters that Dulux trusts to represent the absolute best of their trade.
Colour Homes is one of only 22 Wellington-area painting companies to hold this accreditation, and one of just 2 Kāpiti-based companies. That puts us in a very select group of painters who can deliver true Dulux coating systems, applied exactly as the manufacturer specifies.
- 5-year Workmanship Warranty available on request
- Correct Dulux products for every substrate
- Proper film build, drying times, and application method
- Technical support direct from Dulux
