What a paint job in Frankston has to deal with
The houses, the weather and the rules here, and what each means for the paint.
What the bay wind does to outside paint
The weather bureau's station at Frankston Beach logs a mean 3pm wind of 19.8 km/h over the year, rising to 21.5 in September. That wind carries salt well inland, and west walls, steel railings and gates show it soonest. Bare metal is primed first, and surfaces are washed and left to dry, so paint sits on a clean wall, not on salt.
Three storey walls where the Long Island cottages stood
Long Island is the sand spit with Kananook Creek behind it and the sea in front. Council's brochure says a few of its houses are from the 1920s and the rest mostly post-war, with two and three level houses now rising where the modest early ones stood. It wants subdued colours on outside finishes. Walls that tall are painted from a lift such as a cherry picker.
Karingal brick houses: the timber is the paint job
Victorian Places says the A.V. Jennings company had display homes open at Karingal in 1962, and about 3000 houses followed over roughly 12 years. Council describes open streets there with hardly a front fence. Brickwork that age rarely needs a painter. Window frames, fascia boards, carport posts and doors do, and without a fence every bit of it faces the road.
Repaints between tenants, and two heritage addresses
In 2021, 39.1% of Frankston homes were rented, well above Victoria's 28.5%, so many repaints happen between tenants, arranged by the owner or agent. Heritage paint controls are rare here. The planning scheme switches them on for the house at 6 Petrie Street and for 8 to 18 Davey Street. At those addresses, ask council ahead of any colour change.
Rust on shops and workshops close to the water
Bayside Shopping Centre opened in 1972, and council says its industrial pockets nearer the coast sit among the houses, serving household, hospitality and car trades. On a shopfront or workshop this near the bay, rust is the usual trouble. The free written quote sets out the prep.

Painting homes in Frankston
In Frankston, most houses were built after World War II, including the Karingal estate in the 1960s. Houses from before 1970 can have lead-based paint in the older layers. Aussie Painting doesn't do lead paint removal, so if you're not sure, have it tested before any sanding. Frankston sits on Port Phillip Bay, and salt air is hard on exterior paint and bare metal. About 20% of homes in Frankston are townhouses or semi-detached. For shared walls, fences and outside areas we can quote the owners corporation or strata manager directly. Homes near the Frankston foreshore cop salt air off the bay, which breaks down exterior paint faster, so we wash and prep surfaces properly before any coat goes on. Frankston has a real mix of older post-war houses and newer units and townhouses, so we match the prep and paint system to the surface: old weatherboard, brick, render or newer cladding. I'm Daniel Dimsey, born and raised on the Mornington Peninsula. Aussie Painting is a local, Australian-owned business painting house interiors and exteriors across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. We genuinely care about every job: we use Dulux paints and put the real time into preparation, because good preparation is what stops paint flaking and peeling early. Interior walls and ceilings are backed by our 7-year workmanship guarantee, and all work is done by qualified painters.
