About us

The painter that treats the coast as part of the job.

Primeline is a Gold Coast owned painting business. We started for one honest reason: too many good homes were being repainted with the wrong system for the salt and sun, and failing within a couple of summers.

Painting looks simple until the coast gets involved. Salt air and hard Queensland UV find every shortcut in the prep and the product, and a rushed repaint shows it within a couple of summers.

The founder started Primeline after years of being called back to fix repaints that had failed early. The answer was never a better brush. It was honest prep and the right system for the exposure.

On the coast, the prep and the system are the whole job. Everything else is just colour.

Today we cover interior and exterior repaints, roof restoration, timber and render coatings, and commercial and strata work across the Gold Coast, with no travel surcharge inside our local service radius.

Prep before paint

The finish only lasts if the surface underneath is sound. We prep back properly before a drop of topcoat goes on.

The right system for the exposure

Sea-facing and full-sun walls get a different, higher-grade system than sheltered ones. We match it and name it on your quote.

Fixed price, honoured

The price we quote is the price you pay. If we find something during prep, we agree it with you before any extra work, never after.

The same painter, start to finish

You get one accountable painter on your job, not a different backpacker crew every day.

The right fit

Are we the right painter for you?

We are a fit if you want the job done properly and backed in writing, not the cheapest number on the street.

We are the right fit if you want the job done properly and backed in writing, and you would rather pay once for ten years than twice in three. We are not the cheapest quote on the street, and we are upfront about that.

Kayla Nguyen

Colour and client lead

Kayla runs the colour consults and keeps every job on schedule, so you always know who is coming and when.

How it runs

What happens from first call to walk-through.

1

On-site assessment

We walk every elevation, test the surfaces and talk through colours and finish, then send a fixed price in writing within one business day.

2

Prep and protect

Furniture, floors and gardens covered, then surfaces washed, scraped, sanded and primed back to a sound substrate.

3

Coastal-grade system on

Named primer and two topcoats matched to each surface exposure, applied to the rated thickness and wet-film checked as we go.

4

Walk-around and warranty

We walk every room or elevation with you, fix anything you flag on the spot, then hand over the ten-year warranty in writing.
