In Auckland, timing your painting project right is just as important as the paint you choose. Our city’s variable weather can affect drying time, finish quality, and longevity.

Why Weather Matters for Painting
Auckland’s climate includes:
High humidity, which slows paint drying and causes streaking
Frequent rain showers, which can ruin exterior paint mid-application
High UV, which breaks down pigment and sheen
Understanding how weather impacts painting helps property owners plan better and protect their investment.
Best Time of Year to Paint in Auckland
Exterior Painting: Late spring to early autumn (October–April)
Interior Painting: Year-round, ideally in dry, mild conditions
Commercial Sites: During off-peak or shutdown periods (like Christmas)
