A fresh coat of paint can make a remarkable difference, especially when it transforms an entire street.
This body corporate project in Helensvale, Queensland, showcases the transformative power of NuTech PaveCoat Matt.
The project involved refreshing the estate’s existing slate impression concrete. Over time, the original red-toned paving had lost its appeal. As a result, the body corporate chose a contemporary colour scheme featuring Ironstone and Basalt.
The transformation has given the shared spaces a modern, cohesive appearance.


Proper surface preparation plays an important role in achieving a quality finish.
First, the applicators cleaned the existing concrete to prepare it for coating. They then completed a test patch to check compatibility with the existing surface.
Once the test confirmed compatibility, the team could proceed with the coating application.
The applicators used a two-coat system to achieve the desired finish.
For the first coat, they thinned NuTech PaveCoat Matt with NuTech Thinners.
Next, they added PaveCoat Anti-Slip Mix to the second coat. This added surface texture for shared vehicle and pedestrian access areas.
Additionally, the matt finish complements the original slate impression pattern. Importantly, the coating refreshes the surface without concealing its decorative character.

Colour played a significant role in bringing this project together.
The body corporate chose Ironstone as the main colour. This contemporary blue-grey shade replaces the original red-toned concrete, creating a more modern appearance.
Meanwhile, Basalt provides a subtle contrast along the edges and surrounding trim.
Together, these colours complement the estate’s white rendered walls, dark gates and tropical landscaping.
As a result, the refreshed surfaces create a coordinated colour scheme throughout the development.

The completed project demonstrates how NuTech PaveCoat can transform existing decorative concrete.
The refreshed surfaces now create a consistent appearance throughout the estate. From the sweeping street entrance to the smaller paved areas around the gates, the new finish ties everything together.
Furthermore, the original slate impression pattern remains visible beneath the coating.
Overall, this Helensvale project highlights the impact of thoughtful colour selection and careful preparation. With the right coating system, existing concrete can take on an entirely new appearance.
