FX is all-Australian, family-owned and operated. Want it? We’ve got it!
Have your own ideas? We’re with you all the way!
FX Australia manufactures the most comprehensive range of water-based, coatings available off the shelf. That’s around 50 glorious faux finishes; highperformance, ultra-safe and every-day architectural paints; and specialised coatings to protect and enhance metal, tiled roofs, concrete, even wooden pallets and railway bridges.
If it’s not on the shelf (but you have a beautiful vision), local manufacture and a team of highly trained, innovative FX master technicians and design experts will produce a customised finish/application method just as fast as you can say ‘perfect result’. We’ve created unique, award-winning finishes for local and international top-drawer brands and design teams and turned many a professional’s concept into reality.

And here’s the other good news. Quality and knowledge. Two of our two favourite words.
Need advice? Our expertise is yours for the asking.
Because FX is a start-to-finish company, meticulous about every aspect of our business, we begin by sourcing pigments and resins from the world’s leading suppliers and use cutting-edge technology to bring our coatings to market. FX is internationally recognised for product quality and knowledge, and as well as taking notice of our own in-field and laboratory test results, we’re well on the way to externally-awarded 100% green certification for all our products.
FX is Australian-owned and all our coatings are formulated and made by us. That means we know them inside out, and we’re just a phone call, email or site visit away to resolve technical issues and consult about design ideas. And our input can extend to project management, quantity estimation and installation advice, helping to keep your output in profit.

Accreditation. Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) certification FX Australia is committed to environmental sustainability, safe work practices, social responsibility and equal opportunities within our working environment. If it doesn’t meet our own best-practice guidelines for these sectors of our business, we don’t do it. This commitment has been recognised by certification from GECA, Australia’s globally recognised, independent, not-for-profit, eco-labelling program, and confirms that projects seeking a Green Star rating with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), or similar international organisations, can choose FX coatings with confidence. The majority of FX Australia coatings now have GECA certification. Coatings yet to be certified and new FX coatings will continue to be rigorously assessed by independent auditor, BSI, using criteria established by GECA – a first important step to achieving GECA certification for all our products. See www.fxaustralia.com.au for updates.

One FX coating, so many possibilities. Three of our versatile favourites FX Concrete Finish To achieve a no-fuss finish, there’s straightforward FX Concrete Finish. But it’s also easy to individualise this finish by manipulating the inherent possibilities of other FX products: FX Lime Stucco, FX Lime Marmorino, FX Marmorino and FX Travertino, all custom-tintable to fit your personal colour palette.
FX Flexible Stucco FX Flexible Stucco is a tintable, acrylic plaster coating that replicates the lime and ground marble ‘Stucco Veneziano’ popularised in Italy during the Renaissance. Its highly textured, mirror finish is achieved using a trowel application and inbuilt flexibility makes it particularly suited to producing an elegant, sophisticated finish on many interior surfaces, including cement render.
FX French Wash FX French Wash is a unique, acrylic-based coating using modern technology to create a delicate, two tone classic French Provincial look that’s matt when dry. Various application methods can produce a range of effects, and the coating can also be used to create traditional marble effects.

One FX coating, so many possibilities. Three of our unique metallic finishes FX Rust Paint The FX Rust Paint system is a two-phase system that produces authentic, aged rust effects. It replicates the colours and unusual textures of metal weathered by nature and can be used to add impact in large outdoor and indoor areas, or revive decorative sculptures and pots.
FX Exterior Copper FX Exterior Copper is a water-based, liquid paste, specifically formulated to imitate the lustre and highly decorative colours of copper. Because it’s tintable, it’s possible to produce many patinas and tones from the rich copper base and by using a sponge, brush, roller or spray equipment, to create unusual patterns and special effects. This hardwearing coating is a no-fuss replacement for copper sheeting and provides a simple solution wherever the decorative charm of copper is required.
FX Antique Metal FX Antique Metal is a water-based, tintable liquid paste, specifically formulated for producing a subtle, aged, metallic finish. This hardwearing coating gives rustic charm to every interior, yet complements both contemporary and classical décor. The textured, matt sheen of FX Antique Metal is particularly beautiful under soft lighting, making it ideal for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in dining rooms, restaurants and other spaces planned for social intimacy.
