Spray finishes.

Sprayed work leaves no brush marks. On kitchen units, doors, wardrobes and large runs of woodwork that difference is obvious from across the room.

The work is in the masking and the preparation. Everything not being sprayed gets covered, surfaces are degreased, keyed and primed, and the finish goes on in controlled coats. Done properly it is harder wearing than a brushed finish, not just flatter.

Where it pays off

It suits kitchens being kept rather than replaced. A solid carcass with tired doors is a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen and a few days of work instead of a few weeks.
