Stellenbosch notes on wall paint & coatings
Classic white walls with dark green, black or natural timber shutters are the look of the old town, and most owners keep to it. Walls under the oaks in central Stellenbosch and Idas Valley stay damp and grow mould, so ask for a mould wash and a mould resistant exterior paint. For student rentals, a scrubbable low sheen interior paint saves money at the next changeover.
What gets painted in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university town with one of the best known heritage centres in the country, and painting here is shaped by both. The oak lined streets of the old town, such as Dorp Street, have white gabled Cape Dutch and Georgian houses that are repainted with care, often in white with dark green or black shutters. Around them are many student houses and flats that need quick repaints between leases, plus wine estates, Technopark offices and new estates towards Jamestown. Winter rain and shade under the oaks bring damp and mould, while summer sun is strong. Landlords, heritage owners, estate managers and the university sector ask for painters most.
The requests we see from Stellenbosch usually come from:
- Landlords and sellers: a hard-wearing neutral exterior that keeps a rental or sale property looking cared for
- Homeowners: a weather-proof coat for the house walls, boundary wall and garden walls
- Shops, offices and restaurants: shopfronts and office walls that stay clean and keep their colour longer

Exterior Paint usually suits plastered and brick walls outside, done like this: two coats over primer, roller or spray. For landlords and sellers, the biggest group here, that usually means a hard-wearing neutral exterior that keeps a rental or sale property looking cared for. On the weather side: winter rain and oak shade keep walls damp; paint outside in the dry summer months.
