How To Spray Paint A Colorbond Fence

If you’re looking to refresh or upgrade your exterior, why not start with the Colorbond fence. It’s a staple of the Aussie backyard and it’s easier than you think to paint it (especially when a spray gun is involved). So, follow along as we quickly and easily transform this metal Colourbond fence and refresh this outdoor space.

Here’s how:

Step 1:

Clean the fence thoroughly with a pressure washer or hose. Allow to dry completely. Brush away any dirt and dust.

Step 2:

Mask any surface you don’t want to spray with masking film.

Step 3:

Prep the spray gun and test on cardboard before moving to the fence.

Step 4:

Spray 2x coats of your topcoat. Allow to dry between coats.

Expert Tip – Don’t go too heavy on the first coat. It is best to build up the colour in layers to avoid paint drips.

Step 5: 

Clean the spray gun.

No more putting off your exterior paint projects. This metal fence refresh is proof that achieving your DIY dreams is easier than you think.
