How Perth Paints Transformed Salter Point with Style & Precision
Perth Paints recently wrapped up an exceptional project at Salter Point, and it’s one that truly highlights everything we stand for: quality, attention to detail, and the power of colour. Using Wattyl I.D Advanced LowSheen in “Kitty Grey”, we worked closely with the property owners to deliver a finish that both complements the tranquil riverside surroundings and elevates the home’s character. Below, we dive into what made this project special—and why it’s a great example of what Perth Paints can offer.
Thoughtful Colour Choice: Why “Kitty Grey”
“Kitty Grey” by Wattyl is one of those colours that quietly adapts. According to Wattyl’s own colour guides, Kitty Grey is a neutral tone that can appear creamy in one room and a soft pale grey in another, depending on natural light. Wattyl Australia It’s not too warm, not too cool—just right. This chameleon quality makes it perfect for settings like Salter Point, where the beauty of the outdoors plays with light throughout the day.
Choosing a colour like Kitty Grey shows how Perth Paints doesn’t just apply paint—we consider environment, light, architecture, and style. The colour needed to blend with leafy surroundings, water reflections, and the subtle changes in daylight typical in Salter Point. The end result? A façade that looks serene, refined, and timeless.
Preparation: The Backbone of Neat, Durable Results
A stunning finish starts long before the brush touches the wall. For the Salter Point project, preparation was thorough. Surfaces were cleaned, any imperfections carefully patched, primed where needed, and all external elements protected. Our painters understand that surface preparation isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about making sure paint adheres properly and lasts, even under Perth’s sometimes harsh weather conditions.
Good prep means fewer issues over time—less peeling, cracking, or fading. For Salter Point, these steps ensured that the LowSheen finish of Wattyl’s I.D Advanced product was properly bonded, with even colour distribution and durable coverage.
The Right Product for the Right Place
Wattyl I.D Advanced LowSheen is an ultra-premium product designed for both performance and aesthetic appeal. Some of its standout features include low VOC (which means fewer strong odours and a more environmentally friendly finish), excellent washability, stain resistance, and superior coverage. These qualities are especially important for homes near water or high-humidity areas—like many in Salter Point—where moisture, salt, and sun can all affect painted surfaces.
The LowSheen finish also offers just enough sheen to look polished and elegant, without being overly glossy—which helps to mask minor surface imperfections and control reflectivity under bright daylight.
Craftsmanship in Execution
It’s one thing to have a great colour and quality product; it’s another to execute the work cleanly and expertly. Perth Paints’ team approached this project with precision. Every cut-in around eaves, windows, trims, and fixtures was crisp. Edges straight. Rolls even. No drips. No splashes. And protection of existing surfaces was honoured—think careful masking, drop cloths, and cleaned up areas.
These details might sound minor, but they’re the difference between a painter perth job that’s merely good and one that looks exceptional months and years down the road.
Harmony with the Environment
Salter Point’s appeal lies in its peaceful, leafy, waterside ambiance. In this project, Perth Paints understood that the paintwork had to respect that environment. A too bold or overly bright colour would have clashed; a cheap finish would have deteriorated quickly under sunlight, moisture, and exposure.
By choosing neutral “Kitty Grey” with LowSheen durability, the look now harmonises with surroundings—trees, sky, water—while being weather-resistant. The project complements its setting rather than dominating it. That balance is part of what makes Perth Paints’ work stand out.
