Hand Spraying at Retail Furniture

Find Out More About Hand Spraying to Perfection

In our specialist spray workshop, we’re able to spray MDF and hardwoods in a sealed environment.

After spraying, our furniture is sealed with a lacquer top coat to ensure the colour and finish remains durable.

Attention to detail! Ensure the paint colour that you have mixed and measured is of the right consistency at all times, allowing for a smooth application and an unblemished finish
