Experience Vs Cheaper Price - A quick 2 Min Read 😁

When choosing between experience and a lower price, experience often proves more valuable. Experienced professionals bring expertise that can prevent costly mistakes and ensure high-quality results. They understand nuances and foresee potential issues, delivering a superior product or service.

While cheaper options might seem appealing, they often lack the reliability and finesse that comes with experience. Investing in experienced professionals means peace of mind, fewer headaches, and long-term satisfaction. In the end, the benefits of quality and expertise far outweigh the initial savings of a lower price, making it a smarter choice for lasting value and success.

Looking to repaint your house yourself? Have you watched videos on Tik Tok where they roll out a wall and it covers in one go? Don't be fooled! 30% of our enquiries are people who have started the work and given up without completing the first room! 😉

While some of these videos can be possible there are many factors that need to be considered to make it work.
Having the write tools is always going to be the first step.

Painting equipment is not cheap (if your using the right stuff) Quality paintbrushes and roller sleeves ensure a clean smooth finish. A roller pole is a necessity to get the long wall strokes from the roller, that also helps with time. Masking tape if you require to cut in against another wall or frames (if you can't cut in without it) Don't forget the roller trays and paint pots..... So we are already close to $200 in equipment WITHOUT THE PAINT!

This could be an investment if you plan on doing a few rooms etc...if for a once off is it worth it? This $200 could be used to paint another room or that Feature Wall you always wanted in the Lounge Room!

Trust the professionals to get it done. Give us a call or send us a message.

Understanding the Difference Between Acrylic and Enamel Paint

Choosing the right type of paint for your project can make a significant difference in its outcome. Acrylic and enamel paints are two popular options, each with unique properties that cater to different needs.

Acrylic Paint:

Acrylic paint is water-based, which means it can be easily diluted with water and cleaned up with soap and water. It dries quickly, usually within minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of application and environmental conditions. This fast drying time makes acrylics ideal for projects that require multiple layers or a quick turnaround.

Key features of acrylic paint:

Versatility: Suitable for various surfaces, this is used on walls and ceilings in different sheens (low sheen for walls & flat for ceilings)
Durability: Once dried, acrylic paint is permanent and resistant to fading over time.
Cleanup: Easy cleanup with water while wet.
Acrylic paint is favored by painters and DIY enthusiasts for its ease of use, vibrant colors, and ability to retain its color integrity over time.

Enamel Paint:

Enamel paint, on the other hand, is oil-based and dries to a hard, glossy finish. It has a longer drying time compared to acrylics, often taking several hours to dry to the touch and up to 24 hours or more to fully cure. This longer drying time makes enamel paint less suitable for projects requiring quick completion but ideal for surfaces that need a durable, glossy finish.

Key features of enamel paint:

Finish: Typically dries to a high-gloss finish, although satin and matte finishes are also available. Used on Doors and frames.
Durability: Provides a tough, protective coating that is resistant to moisture, stains, and wear. Easy to clean on the high traffic areas like doors near handles and door frames.
Application: Requires mineral spirits or turpentine for thinning and cleanup, making it less convenient than acrylics in terms of cleanup.
Enamel paint is also commonly used for painting metal surfaces, outdoor furniture, and automotive parts due to its durability and ability to withstand harsh conditions.

So when your painter asks you..." Do you want a glossy finish on your frames" you can know they are using enamel.

There are more options available on the market that painters, including us will use that can provide a similar finish to the glossy enamel that can be done in less time, Ask about this option!

As promised some more before and afters from this beauty!

There is nothing quite like the 2-toned stairs...only problem is working out the colour combinations 🙄
You will see in this one the side of the stairs went from "Lexicon" to the darker "Ironstone" after some deliberating. We agree in the decision was certainly the right one!
