Whether you’re looking to renovate, protect or create, it’s important to understand the different types of specialty paints and their uses to achieve the best results.

Heavy Duty Paints — Formulated to withstand tough conditions, heavy-duty paints are used in high-traffic areas or places exposed to the elements. They can be applied to surfaces like driveways, walkways and even industrial floors. Their strong and durable finishes ensure they resist wear and tear, making them perfect for areas with a lot of activity.

Grout Pens — Over time, the grout between tiles can become discoloured due to moisture, dirt and other factors. Grout pens are a fantastic solution to this problem. They are designed to refresh the look of grout lines, making them appear clean and new. This is a quick and cost-effective way to rejuvenate the appearance of tiled areas without re-grouting.

Plastic and Laminate Primer — Not all surfaces are created equal, and some can be particularly tricky to paint. Plastics and laminates are among these challenging surfaces. However, with the right primer, these surfaces can be prepared for painting, ensuring that the paint adheres properly and lasts longer. These primers create an ideal base for the paint to stick to, preventing peeling and chipping.

Tiles & Benchtop Primer — Renovating a bathroom or kitchen doesn’t always mean replacing everything. Sometimes, a fresh coat of paint can do wonders. Specialty paints designed for tiles and benchtops can transform these surfaces, giving them a new look. They are formulated to adhere to these specific surfaces and resist moisture, ensuring longevity.

Rust Prevention Aerosols — Rust can be a significant concern, especially for metal surfaces exposed to moisture. Rust prevention aerosols are designed to combat this problem. They provide a protective layer that prevents moisture from reaching the metal, thus preventing rust. These are especially useful for outdoor furniture, metal railings and other metal items that are exposed to the elements.

Art Supplies — Beyond everyday home renovation, specialty paints also cater to the world of art. From colour pencils to pastel pads and acrylic paint sets, these products are designed for artists and hobbyists. They offer vibrant colours and are formulated to provide the best results for all your artistic endeavours.

Spray Primers — Spray primers are a convenient way to prepare surfaces for painting. They ensure better paint adhesion and can be used on various materials, including metal. Some spray primers also offer rust prevention, making them ideal for metal surfaces that will be exposed to the elements.

Rust Converters — Instead of just preventing rust, rust converters tackle existing rust. They chemically convert rust into a stable compound, stopping its progression. This treated surface can then be painted over, ensuring a longer life for the item.
