Germiston notes on wall paint & coatings
Paint shops serving Germiston often recommend a roof coating over a rust primer for the old IBR sheds in Wadeville and Isando, and an industrial enamel for steel doors. Homes in Primrose and Lambton suit traditional colours on verandahs and trims, while Bedfordview complexes often keep to neutral greys and whites set by the body corporate. Exterior acrylic needs good UV resistance under the Highveld sun.
What gets painted in Germiston
Germiston is one of the oldest East Rand towns, built on gold mining and the railway, and it still has a big industrial base in Wadeville, Elandsfontein and Isando. Older Victorian and early 20th century houses with tin roofs and verandahs stand in Primrose, Lambton and around the old town centre, while Bedfordview has larger plastered homes and complexes. The industrial areas hold old steel sheds, warehouses and workshops with wide IBR roofs. Highveld sun, hail and frost all age paint, and old sheds often show rust and failed roof coats. Factory owners, landlords, homeowners, schools and churches ask for painters, roof coatings and epoxy floors here.
Typical exterior paint requests in the area come from:
- Factories, farms and mines: factory, warehouse and farm building walls that face sun, dust and rain
- Homeowners: a weather-proof coat for the house walls, boundary wall and garden walls
- Landlords and sellers: a hard-wearing neutral exterior that keeps a rental or sale property looking cared for
