A note on preparation
Not all Colorbond fences are prepared the same way – and this is where most painters cut corners.
New Colorbond fences (under 2 years old)
New Colorbond has a slick factory finish that requires a full undercoat before painting. We apply a full undercoat to every new Colorbond fence before the top coats go on.
Transformed our fence from dull cream. Looks great and can’t compliment the workmanship highly enough. The quality of the finish is excellent.
Older Colorbond fences
Older Colorbond doesn’t require an undercoat – the factory finish has weathered enough to accept paint readily. We clean the surface, treat any rust, and apply two full top coats. No sanding required.
What an absolutely beautiful job Fence Makeovers have done transforming our tired old green Colorbond fence into a brand new looking Monument one, just wow.

How long does spray painted Colorbond fence last in Perth?
A professionally spray painted Colorbond fence in Perth typically lasts between 7 and 9 years before it needs repainting.
What affects how long it lasts?
The Perth UV factor
Perth’s UV intensity is among the highest in Australia. We use Wattyl Solagard on Colorbond fences because it’s specifically engineered for high UV conditions and maintains colour integrity for years.
Why Colorbond holds paint so well
Colorbond’s steel is one of the best surfaces for spray paint adhesion when correctly prepared. It doesn’t absorb moisture or expand and contract significantly – which means the paint film stays intact.
Colorbond preparation difference
A fence painted over rust or without proper priming will fail earlier than one correctly prepared. This is why we never skip the preparation step.
This is why we back each job with 7-year workmanship warranty.
Popular Colorbond colours for Perth fences
These are the colours Perth homeowners are choosing most.
Monument
The most popular colour we paint by a significant margin. Deep charcoal that suits almost any Perth home style – exceptional next to rendered walls, pool areas and timber decking.
Surfmist
Clean, crisp and genuinely versatile. The go-to neutral for homeowners who want to brighten the backyard without going stark white
Basalt
Deep warm dark that’s become increasingly popular in newer Perth builds. Works beautifully next to black window frames and exposed concrete.
Woodland Grey
Mid-tone grey. Suits traditional-style Perth homes and red brick walls.
Night Sky
Darkest in Colorbond range (near black). Makes a strong statement in pool areas and larger properties.
Dune
Warm sandy grey-brown. Popular in coastal Perth suburbs and properties with natural stone or native landscaping.
Dulux Lexicon
Off-white with a barely-there warm undertone. The classic choice for fresh and clean without stark white.
Ironstone
Deep charcoal with a blue-grey undertone. Popular in coastal areas where Monument reads as too warm.
Colorbond Fence Painting – FAQs
Can you paint a Colorbond fence?
Yes – Colorbond takes spray paint exceptionally well when the surface is correctly prepared. We clean the fence, treat any rust, and apply two full top coats of Wattyl Solagard. The result looks factory-fresh and is backed by our 7-year workmanship warranty.
Do I need to sand my Colorbond fence before painting?
No – sanding is not required before painting a Colorbond fence and can actually damage the surface coating. We clean the fence, treat rust where needed, and prime where necessary. No sanding required.
Does a Colorbond fence need a soap wash before painting?
No. A soap wash is not part of correct Colorbond preparation and leaves residue that may affect paint adhesion.
Does every Colorbond fence require an undercoat?
No – only new Colorbond fences under two years old. The factory finish is slicker and paint adhesion is more demanding, so a full undercoat is required before the top coats go on. Older Colorbond fences have weathered enough to accept paint readily without one.
What colours can I choose for my Colorbond fence?
You can choose any colour from the full Colorbond range or the Dulux exterior colour range. Stuck choosing? Once you get in touch, we’ll send you Fence Makeovers’ Colour Library to help you pick the perfect shade.
How long does Colorbond fence paint last?
A professionally spray painted Colorbond fence lasts between 7 and 9 years before it needs repainting. Our 7-year workmanship warranty covers any paint failure within that period – we repair and repaint for free.
How much does Colorbond fence painting cost in Perth?
Our minimum charge is $900. Every job is custom-priced based on fence length, condition, access and whether rust treatment is required. Send us a few photos and we’ll come back with an accurate written quote within 24 hours. No site visit required.
