For this Upper Pakenham residential painting project, the homeowner wanted a practical alternative to full roof replacement. The old metal roof was rusty, faded and starting to show minor leaks, which created concern about long-term water damage and asset value.
Melbourne Protective Coatings recommended a Noxyde/PRC hybrid system that would treat the existing rust, seal leak prone areas and deliver a fresh, modern Monument finish. By combining Noxyde and PRC topcoat in a carefully sequenced system, we were able to extend the life of the roof, improve street appeal and provide durable protection that suits Upper Pakenham’s changing weather.
This residential roof restoration shows how a well-designed membrane system can give an older roof a new lease on life, without the disruption and cost of a full replacement.
Before work began, the Upper Pakenham roof was visibly tired, with surface rust and minor water ingress. The client needed a residential painting solution that would:
Arrest existing rust and protect against further corrosion
Seal known and potential leak points around penetrations
Deliver a neat, consistent Monument colour across the roof
Stay within a sensible, cost-effective budget for a family home
To protect this Upper Pakenham residential roof, we designed a Noxyde/PRC hybrid system. All rust and water ingress areas were first treated and sealed with Noxyde Anti Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane, which provides a flexible, waterproof barrier and strong adhesion to aged metal.
Over the full roof, we then applied PRC Premcoat Metal Primer and PRC Premcoat Topcoat in the client’s chosen Monument colour. Because both Noxyde and PRC membranes are water-based elastomeric acrylics, they bond well together, creating a continuous protective skin that resists movement, weather and ongoing exposure.
Prepare and clean the entire roof surface using pressure washers
Re tension and fasten loose screws and roof sheets where required
Apply Noxyde Anti Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane to all penetrations and rust affected areas
Apply one full coat of PRC Premcoat Metal Primer to the entire roof
Apply specialised membrane tape where additional waterproofing was required
Apply first full coat of PRC Premcoat Topcoat in Monument
Apply second full coat of PRC Premcoat Topcoat in Monument for full coverage and durability
For this Upper Pakenham residential painting project, we used a combination of high performance membranes designed for metal roofing:
Noxyde Anti Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane on rust and water ingress areas
PRC Premcoat Metal Primer across the entire metal roof surface
PRC Premcoat Topcoat in Monument as the final decorative and protective finish
This Noxyde/PRC hybrid system delivers strong rust protection, reliable waterproofing and a long lasting colour finish suitable for residential properties.

It can also be used on concrete and has excellent elongation properties of 200% making it suitable for bridging small cracks. This single component coating resists corrosion, rust, and water even in severe marine environments. Can be top coated with multiple Rust-Oleum High Performance products for an extended service life for your assets.

PRC Premcoat Metal Primer is a pure acrylic blend formulated with anti-corrosion properties, rust inhibitors, and added adhesion properties. It’s perfect for use as a sealer on metal roof surfaces where there is surface rust, preventing bleed-through on top coats.
PRC Premcoat Top Coat is 100% pure acrylic gloss coating designed to resurface and protect concrete roof tiles and metal roof surfaces. It’s safe for drinking water collection and comes with a 10-year warranty against flaking, peeling, or cracking.
To complete this residential roof restoration safely and efficiently, our team used:
High-powered pressure washers for deep roof cleaning and preparation
Professional spray gun application for consistent membrane and topcoat coverage
Safety harnesses and temporary gutter anchor-points for secure roof access
Combined with careful inspection, re-tensioning of fixings and detailed taping around penetrations, these processes ensured the Noxyde/PRC hybrid system performed as designed.
On completion, the Upper Pakenham residential roof was fully cleaned, restored and coated with a continuous hybrid Noxyde and PRC membrane system. All work areas were tidied, and the homeowner gained confidence that leaks were addressed and existing rust was brought under control.
The finished roof now delivers rust protection, leak prevention and waterproofing in one high performance residential painting system. The modern Monument colour has refreshed the home’s street appeal while the watertight membrane helps protect the property from future weather damage.
