The House Spray Painting Process
When we arrive at your new house to paint we start by taking off the doors and filling all nail holes. We mask out aluminium joinery and any tiled areas.
Then it is time to spray on the sealer coats to all surfaces to be painted
Next is ceilings, our house painters spray the ceilings with ceiling flat or optional low sheen for a wipeable surface (resene has a new product for spraying ceilings space coat flat acrylic enamel).
We prepare the window and door frames for spraying. The acrylic enamel is sprayed to a certain thickness and is dried of with a heat gun to prevent runs. By Spraying acrylic enamels on the window-door frames and doors it comes out looking like the powder coated joinery.
The walls are finished off with brush and roller for a slight textured finish (low sheen).
The garage is masked out (including garage floor) and turned into a spray booth to spray paint the doors, and then the garage is finished to the same standard as the house.
There are options to enhance the finish – 3in1 which is plaster and sealer in one coat which is sprayed on to bring the surface up to a level 5 finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Some commonly asked questions about spraying & house painting
Yes, we all work to a similar m² rate; the difference is in the speed and quality finish.
Brush and spray are 2 different painting systems. Spray uses twice as much paint and gives a far superior finish—it’s a bit like comparing apples with oranges. Housing companies throughout New Zealand require faster systems with a high-quality finish, similar to how builders now use nail guns instead of hammers.
