Specialty service
Feature Walls & Spray Painting in Melbourne
Statement colour, limewash and textured finishes, plus airless and fine-finish spray work on cabinetry, doors and joinery for a smooth, factory-grade result.
Where a specialty finish earns its keep
A feature wall is the cheapest way to give a room a point of focus, and the fastest way to make it look amateur if the line work is not perfect. Everything about a feature wall lives or dies on the edges: the cut-in against the ceiling, the return into the corner, the meeting line with the skirting.
Spray finishing is the other end of the same idea. Brush and roller marks are invisible on a wall and glaringly obvious on a kitchen door. Cabinetry, wardrobe fronts, internal doors and detailed joinery finished with fine-finish spray equipment look manufactured rather than repainted.

Cabinetry spraying without repainting your kitchen
Refinishing existing cabinetry is dramatically cheaper than replacing it, and on a sound carcass it is often the smartest money in a renovation. Doors and drawer fronts are removed, labelled, degreased, keyed and sprayed in a controlled setup; carcasses and fixed panels are masked and sprayed in place.
The critical step is adhesion. Melamine and laminate surfaces need a specialist bonding primer, and skipping it is why a lot of DIY cabinet respray jobs chip off the edges within months. We spray a bonding system first, every time.
Colour and light
Melbourne's light is cooler than most of Australia, which changes how colours read on the wall. A grey that looks warm in the shop can go blue on a south-facing wall here.
We test in situ with large sample boards and check them morning and evening before committing. For feature walls in strong colours we also specify a tinted primer, which cuts the number of topcoats needed and stops patchiness in deep reds, blues and charcoals.

Frequently asked questions
Can you spray paint existing kitchen cabinets?
Yes, provided the carcass and doors are structurally sound. Surfaces are degreased, keyed and coated with a bonding primer before the finish coats, which is what makes the result durable on laminate and melamine.
How long does a kitchen respray take?
Usually four to seven days including cure time. The kitchen stays usable for most of it — doors come off, get finished, and go back on at the end.
Do dark feature walls need more coats?
Often, yes. Deep reds, blues and charcoals frequently need three coats over a tinted primer to sit evenly. We use a tinted undercoat to reduce that where we can.
What is limewash and will it suit my room?
Limewash is a mineral finish that creates soft, cloudy movement and depth rather than a flat colour. It suits rooms with good natural light and works particularly well on feature walls and fireplaces. We will sample it before committing.
