Commercial painting and graffiti removal to one brand standard.
Store repaint programs to the brand colour specification, and graffiti removal and protective coatings for shopfronts and car park walls.

Commercial painting and graffiti removal keeps a store fleet looking like one brand: repaint programs to a set colour and finish specification, and graffiti removed from shopfronts, walls and signage with protective coatings where it keeps coming back. Nextage runs this work across Australian retail fleets, priced per site and scheduled around trading. Delivered in every state and territory.

The problem
- Each store is repainted by a different painter, and the brand colour drifts store to store.
- Graffiti left for a week invites more of it.
- Repaints are scheduled when a store looks bad, not on a plan finance can see.

Graffiti on a roller door, then repainted
Tags across a loading dock roller door, and the same door with the tags removed and the door repainted. Where a wall keeps getting hit, we add an anti graffiti coating.


FAQ
About commercial painting & graffiti removal
Is there a legal deadline to remove graffiti?
Not at state level for a retailer. NSW has the Graffiti Control Act 2008 and Victoria the Graffiti Prevention Act 2007, and a council can still issue its own notice. Protective coatings are sacrificial (APAS 1442) or permanent (APAS 1441).
Who is responsible for removing graffiti?
In practice the owner or occupier, and the lease usually says which. NSW and Victorian law let a council remove graffiti that can be seen from a public place, but do not oblige it to. In Brisbane the council says removal on private property is the owner's or occupier's job, and after a complaint it can issue a notice requiring the graffiti to be removed or covered within 14 days.
What is an anti graffiti coating?
A clear coating applied over paint or masonry so graffiti can be removed more easily. Sacrificial coatings are removed along with the graffiti and reapplied. Permanent coatings stay in place and let the graffiti be cleaned off.
What changes the price of a repaint or a graffiti clean?
The surface and its condition, the size of the job, height and access, the number of coats and whether the colour changes, preparation and repairs before paint, after hours work, and whether a protective coating goes on afterwards.
Can you match our brand colours across every store?
Yes. The colour and finish specification is locked at the start, so every store is painted to the same system.
Can painting happen while the store trades?
Usually. Work is done after hours or in sections, so customers are not walking through it.
