At Newcastle Grammar School's Park Campus, ECOTONE supported the delivery of a vibrant First Nations pavement mural as part of a broader transformation of the schoolgrounds.
Working alongside First Nations artist Saretta Fielding, ECOTONE's accredited applicator applied the intricate, multi coloured design directly onto the school pavement, chosen for its excellent colour stability and suitability for exterior concrete. To ensure the mural could withstand daily use in a busy school environment, the surface was then sealed with a durable clear protective coating, preserving its vibrancy under heavy foottraffic.
The result is a striking, culturally significant artwork built to last, bringing colour and meaning to a space students engage with everyday.

“The results of this project truly reflect the passion and craftsmanship that drive our team. The outcome would not have been possible without the skill and dedication of John Hersee Painters and Decorators. Their long history in decorative finishes—and now artisan expertise in sign writing—brought the level of detail and precision this mural required. John’s understanding of the ECOTONE Minsil system and his commitment to achieving the artist’s vision ensured the design was not only beautifully executed but built to last. It’s a fantastic example of how collaboration, creativity, and technical excellence can come together to create something trulymeaningful.”

FAQs
ECOTONE provides architectural finishes, colour matching solutions, and protective coatings including emulsion stains, sealants, primers, and waterproof and weatherproof systems designed to enhance, restore, and protect building surfaces with long lasting, low VOCperformance.
Standard paint is a surface-level decorative layer. ECOTONE coatings are multi-layered systems that penetrate and bond with the substrate, delivering deeper texture, stronger adhesion, and long-term durability. Designed for harsh conditions, they offer advanced protection and can last up to 25 years when properlyapplied.
ECOTONE coating systems are specified for application by approved applicators trained in our products and processes, ensuring consistent quality and eligibility for the 25-yearwarranty. Many projects are delivered as custom building finishes, with ECOTONE working directly with architects, builders, and precast partners to achieve the design intent. For new projects or pricing, contact your local ECOTONE office or submit a ProjectEnquiry.
ECOTONE coatings are compatible with a wide range of building materials such as concrete, brick, block, mortar, fibre cement andplasterboard. Each substrate needs the right preparation and, where required, a suitable primer. Technical data sheets and other resources are available to help select the correct ECOTONE products for yourproject.
Sustainability at ECOTONE is driven by how surfaces are designed, applied and maintained over time. Our coating systems reduce material use, extend building life and minimise environmental impact across the builtenvironment.
