Gold Coast beachfront and canal properties have high salt-air exposure, use marine-grade exterior paint or specifically salt-air resistant paint formulations for Gold Coast coastal properties. Mould is a common problem on Gold Coast exterior surfaces in the humid sub-tropical climate, use anti-mould primer and mould-inhibiting exterior topcoats. Gold Coast painters should also clean and treat any existing mould growth with a fungicidal wash before painting, painting over mould without treatment will see the mould return through the new paint within months. qbcc.qld.gov.au
