Recent Project – Metal Roof Restoration Mount Eliza
Metal Roof Restoration in Mount Eliza – Regent Ultra Monument Transformation
We recently completed this metal roof restoration in Mount Eliza on a large two-storey rendered home surrounded by mature gardens and leafy landscaping.
The existing metal roof had an ageing terracotta-orange finish that no longer suited the appearance of the home. The homeowners wanted a modern colour that would complement the light render, brick accents and prominent rooflines.
After high-pressure cleaning and preparation, the roof was finished with one coat of metal primer followed by two top coats of premium Regent Ultra in Monument.
The transformation from terracotta-orange to deep charcoal Monument was dramatic, giving the home a much more contemporary appearance while retaining the existing metal roofing.
Project Overview
Location: Mount Eliza, Victoria
Roof material: Metal roofing
Property: Large two-storey rendered home with verandahs and solar panels
Existing roof: Ageing terracotta-orange finish
Work completed: High-pressure cleaning, surface preparation, protection of solar panels, priming and roof painting
Roof preparation: Existing metal surface cleaned and prepared before coating
Primer: One coat of metal primer
Top coats: Two coats of premium Regent Ultra
Colour: Monument
Result: Dramatic colour transformation from terracotta-orange to Monument
High-Pressure Metal Roof Cleaning
The restoration began with a thorough high-pressure roof clean to remove dirt, grime and accumulated surface contamination from the existing metal roofing.
Proper cleaning is an essential stage of metal roof painting because the new primer and finishing coats need to be applied to a clean, properly prepared surface.
Cleaning also allowed the existing metal roof to be inspected before the new coating system was applied.
Roof Preparation and Solar Panel Protection
This Mount Eliza property featured a substantial roof area with verandahs, solar panels and multiple architectural details.
Before painting, the surrounding surfaces and sensitive areas were carefully protected to prevent overspray.
The existing metal roof was prepared for priming, with particular attention given to achieving a consistent finish around the roof’s various features.
Taking care around solar panels and adjoining surfaces is an important part of professional roof painting, particularly on larger homes with complex rooflines.
Metal Primer Application
Once the cleaning and surface preparation were completed, the roof received one coat of metal primer.
The primer provided the prepared metal roofing with the appropriate foundation for the finishing coats.
Correct priming is an important stage when repainting an older metal roof because it helps the new coating system adhere to the prepared surface.
Three-Coat Regent Ultra Metal Roof Painting System
After preparation and priming, we applied a complete roof painting system using premium Regent Ultra.
The three-coat system consisted of:
1 coat – Metal primer
2 top coats – Regent Ultra
Colour – Monument
Regent Ultra is the premium Regent topcoat used on this Mount Eliza metal roof restoration.
The two Regent Ultra top coats were applied over the primed metal roof to create a consistent Monument finish.
The new colour completely changed the appearance of the home, replacing the original terracotta-orange finish with a deep charcoal tone that complemented the lighter exterior surfaces.

Why Monument Was Chosen for This Mount Eliza Home
The homeowners selected Monument to modernise the appearance of their large rendered home.
The original terracotta-orange roof was particularly noticeable against the light render and brickwork.
Changing the roof to Monument created a much stronger contrast, giving the home cleaner lines and a more contemporary appearance.
The deep charcoal colour also worked well with the mature gardens and greenery surrounding the property.
Because the roof occupies such a prominent position on this two-storey home, the colour change had a significant visual impact.

The Finished Mount Eliza Metal Roof Transformation
The completed restoration delivered a striking improvement to the appearance of this Mount Eliza property.
What began as an ageing terracotta-orange metal roof was thoroughly cleaned, prepared, primed and finished with two coats of premium Regent Ultra in Monument.
The completed work included:
High-pressure metal roof cleaning
Roof surface preparation
Protection of solar panels and adjoining surfaces
One coat of metal primer
Two coats of premium Regent Ultra
Monument colour finish
The completed Mount Eliza roof restoration transformed the prominent roofline and created a much more cohesive appearance across the home’s light render, brick accents and landscaped surroundings.
The before-and-after difference was particularly impressive, demonstrating how professional preparation and a carefully chosen roof colour can dramatically modernise an existing property without replacing its metal roofing.
Metal Roof Restoration in Mount Eliza
Metal roofs in Mount Eliza can experience prolonged exposure to UV, wind, rain and coastal weather conditions.
Over time, existing roof coatings may fade, chalk or deteriorate, leaving the roof looking weathered and dated.
Where the existing metal roofing remains suitable, professional metal roof restoration can provide an alternative to complete roof replacement.
Depending on the condition of the roof, restoration may include high-pressure cleaning, surface preparation, necessary roof repairs, priming and roof painting.
Enhanced Paint & Roof Restoration provides metal roof restoration, roof painting, roof cleaning and roof repairs in Mount Eliza and surrounding suburbs.
Established in 2006, we restore cement tile, terracotta and metal roofs throughout Mount Eliza, Mornington, Frankston, Seaford and the Mornington Peninsula.
