How to refresh exterior house paint with WattylÂ
By /
A paint update is one of the best ways to boost street appeal, and Wattyl’s. Solagard Ready to Go range makes it easy to choose exterior paint colours.
Paint is the easiest way to transform a tired-looking exterior – and shield it from the elements. If you’re wondering how to refresh exterior house paint without a major renovation, modern pre-tinted paints and colour tools make the process simple. Three new additions to the Wattyl Solagard pre-tinted range offer long-lasting protection, more choice in finishes and work beautifully with their much-loved outdoor colour schemes.
How to choose exterior paint colours with confidence
Before deciding on colours, head online to wattylreadytogo.com.au. The Ready to Go exterior colour schemes and online Colour Visualiser make choosing colours easy, offering curated palettes and a simple way to explore different exterior looks. Tools like an exterior paint colour visualiser also make it easier to choose exterior paint colours with confidence before you start painting.
With five colour scheme options for four different architectural styles, you’re sure to find a combination to suit your home. Wattyl White in a low-sheen finish, for example, gives a clean, modern look to contemporary facades. The cool blue undertone of Colorbond® steel Dover White™ in low sheen brings coastal freshness to weatherboard and Hamptons styles, while Colorbond® steel Monument® in a matt finish adds bold architectural contrast. Visit wattylreadytogo.com.au/inspiration to see more colour combinations on real homes.

The best exterior paint for harsh weather
Smooth, even coverage makes Wattyl Solagard a favourite for D.I.Y.ers and pros alike. It’s a breeze to apply, can assist in hiding imperfections and dries fast. Once on, the finish stays looking good with minimal upkeep. That’s because Wattyl Solagard’s Total Protection Technology™ is made for harsh outdoor conditions, offering superior protection against UV, rain and dirt. This makes it a practical choice when looking for the best exterior paint for harsh weather, where strong sun and changing conditions can take a toll on painted surfaces.
Its durable, flexible finish resists peeling, cracking and fading, so your home looks great year after year. Backed by more than 110 years of paint expertise and a 25 year warranty*, it’s protection you can trust.
Keep in mind…
- Paint colours may vary on application.
- When painting, always wear safety equipment (eye protection and mask) and ensure the room is well ventilated.
- Keep all paint and chemicals out of reach of children and pets.
