About this project
Highlight Painting completed the exterior painting of a newly built extension at Weddell Road in North Geelong. The extension combined several new exterior surfaces — weatherboards, cement sheet cladding, timber baseboards and windows — all of which needed preparation and painting.
The selected scheme used Lexicon Quarter and Lexicon Half across the different elements.

The brief
A complete coating system for new materials
With the extension built, the new exterior surfaces had to be properly prepared and painted to complete the project. Because the materials were all newly installed, the brief was a full system — preparation, undercoat and two top coats — rather than a simple recoat.
Preparation and painting
Preparation, undercoat and two top coats
Surfaces were sanded where required, nail holes filled and gaps sealed to give a clean base. Everything was then undercoated and finished with two top coats in Lexicon Quarter and Lexicon Half.
Treating the work as one complete system gave a consistent finish across the different materials, from the timber weatherboards and baseboards to the cement sheet cladding.
Colours and finishes recorded
| Surface | Colour or product | Finish |
|---|---|---|
| Weatherboards, cement sheet, baseboards and windows | Lexicon Quarter and Lexicon Half | Undercoat and two top coats |
On site
Weather windows and a relocated door
Exterior painting depends on the weather, and conditions were unsettled when the job was booked. The work was scheduled into suitable dry days so rain would not affect the application or the finish.
After the initial painting, the carpenter changed the position of a door. The team returned to paint the door and its frames so the altered area matched the rest of the extension.
