The Gold Coast Cultural Precinct's central Stage is protected against corrosion with a heavy duty protective coating system comprising Zincanode 402, Duremax GPE MIO and Weathermax HBR. Both the intermediate and topcoat contain micaceous iron oxide (MIO) pigment, a layered mineral that imparts additional barrier protection and imparts a subtle metallic lustre that reflects light.

Hammond Park's colourful feature poles arch over a footpath, creating a bright contrast to the blue sky. The colourful steelwork is protected with Duration T80 fluoropolymer.

Hobart's Sandy Bay Seawall is subject to seawater, sand and UV radiation, and required a heavy duty protective coating system comprising Zincanode 402 zinc rich epoxy primer and two coats of Ferreko No. 3, a two pack epoxy containing a high level of micaceous iron oxide.

Jacob's Ladder is a mesmerising steel sculpture in Gibbs Farm near Auckland that winds its way upward. The steelwork is protected against corrosion and weathering by Zincanode 402 zinc-rich primer, Duremax GPE epoxy intermediate coat and Weatheramx HBR two pack polyurethane.

The Joondalup Bus Port is a very open public space prone to defacement by graffiti. A local artist applied the artwork using using Dulux Spraypacks over the Dulux Durebild STE once it had cured. Two coats of Acrathane IF Clearcoat were then applied over the artwork to provide graffiti resistance.

The Kempsey Amenities Block's sandstone block walls are protected against defacement by graffiti with Surfaceshield HD, an invisible surface treatment that prevents the penetration of graffiti, allowing the graffiti to be removed with moderate pressure hot water wash and graffiti removal agents. The sandstone's appearance is unaltered by the surface treatment, which prevents water ingress and water staining, yet allows the sandstone to breathe.
