Melbourne Protective Coatings (MPC) recently undertook a challenging commercial painting project for Radio Parts located on Spencer Street, Melbourne CBD. This extensive exterior painting restoration was crucial for updating the building's outdated appearance alongside a comprehensive signage revamp—something that hadn't been addressed in decades.


This commercial exterior painting project was complicated by numerous logistical hurdles unique to Melbourne's busy CBD environment. High traffic flow, close proximity to powerlines necessitating power shutdowns, designated No Go Zones, and mandatory Traffic Management were significant considerations. Additionally, MPC managed the intricacies of obtaining space occupancy permits from the City of Melbourne. Their vast experience with local council processes made MPC ideally suited to handle these complex requirements efficiently.




The project's first phase involved meticulous cleaning of all external surfaces, ensuring optimal adhesion for the paint system.


Utilising scissor and boom lifts for elevated access, MPC ensured precise and safe painting application. The project also included essential traffic management and coordinated power shutdowns with City Power.
