FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Other painters have said kitchens can’t be painted?
Not true, they simply have not been trained on how to successfully overcome the issues that kitchen painting presents. We have access to the latest technology / products and professional backup from Resene Paints. We can paint laminate, vinyl wrap, plain mdf, timber and 2 pac cabinets.
Is the paint durable?
Yes it is, once cured it forms a very strong bond to the existing surface. We also provide a 2 year warranty for your peace of mind.
Do you sand the existing surface so the paint will bond?
No, as we use a chemical adhesion primer in place of sanding. Disturbing the surface by sanding can cause a multitude of issues with cooking/ cleaning chemical contaminants.
How long before I can use my kitchen?
We recommend to leave the kitchen for 24 hours after works are completed before using it.
Why do colours cost more to paint?
They cost more because we need to significant more time protecting the insides of the cupboards from overspray. If you only require the external sides of your doors refinished, then there will be no extra charge.
Do the cupboards need to be emptied?
Yes.
Do I need to leave the house?
No, however due to the spraying and ventilation requirements you will need to be in another room.
