Be Hurricane Ready:

Florida Paints Has You Covered This Storm Season

Bottom wave element on the Florida Paints website

Living in Florida means enjoying sunshine, beaches, and year-round warmth—but it also means facing hurricane season head-on. With heavy rains, high winds, and intense humidity, your home’s exterior needs more than just good looks—it needs protection, that’s where Florida Paints comes in.
We develop coatings specifically for Florida’s unique climate. From waterproofing to self-cleaning technology, our products are formulated to stand up to the toughest weather conditions—because we live here too.

Meet Your First Line of Defense: SunFlex 1800

If your home or building has masonry surfaces prone to cracking, SunFlex 1800 is your go-to solution. This isn’t just paint—it’s a hi-build barrier designed to bridge hairline cracks, seal out moisture, and defend against UV damage.

  • Hi-build formula protects vulnerable surfaces
  • Flexible and resilient, even as walls expand and contract
  • Guards against alkali burn and efflorescence
  • Delivers long-term color retention in the Florida sun

 

Think of it as armor for your exterior.

Want Protection and a Clean Finish? Try SunFlex RainBright 1880

Florida storms don’t just bring rain—they bring dirt, debris, and streaks down your walls. That’s where SunFlex RainBright 1880 comes in.

This coating has all the storm protection of SunFlex 1800, but with added self-cleaning technology. It’s hydrophobic, which means it sheds water (and dirt) like a champ.

  • Self-cleaning surface = fewer stains
  • Superior water-shedding properties
  • Same high-build, flexible performance
  • Keeps your exterior looking fresh, storm after storm


Perfect for properties that need to stay clean and sharp, even in the roughest weather.

Legacy RainBright: Designed for Southern Living

Built for Florida’s heat and humidity, the Legacy RainBright line is a customer favorite. Whether you’re painting your home, an apartment complex, or a commercial property, this paint performs.

  • Fortified with self-cleaning technology
  • Exceptional water repellency
  • Stays cleaner longer, even during storm season
  • Built for warm, humid climates

 

Available in a variety of finishes, it combines beauty with resilience—just like Florida itself.

Don’t Forget the Details: FlashX Waterproofing

The most common weak spots in any structure during a storm? Windows, doors, and CMU walls. That’s why we created FlashX—a liquid-applied waterproofing membrane that’s as tough as it is versatile.

  • AAMA 714-22 compliant
  • Seals window/door openings and masonry joints
  • Flexible, breathable, and pinhole-free
  • Easy to apply—spray, brush, or roll
  • Low-VOC and water-cleanup friendly

 

Whether you’re building new or reinforcing old, FlashX gives you confidence where it matters most.

Protection Built for Florida. By Florida.
