When you’re seeking to update the decoration of your home or business here in Christchurch, there’s no other system that even comes close to spray painting. In recent years, we have noticed a growing trend of home and business owners choosing to use spray paint for its time and effort saving qualities, sleek finish, and durability. Whether you’re rejuvenating a tired weatherboard or updating a retail space, spray painting is the cat’s pyjamas.
Lets talk about why spray paint might be the right fit for your next Christchurch renovation.
1. It’s Quick and Doesn’t Skip Corners
Time is important — especially if you are living through a renovation or trying to run a business. The big advantage of spray painting is speed. Spray paint, unlike conventional brush and roller methods, is fast and gives a nice even coat. We’re talking whole walls done in small fractions of the time they’d otherwise require.
In Christchurch, in changeable conditions, it’s a massive plus to be able to go fast. From a brisk morning in Riccarton to a hot afternoon in Sumner, the more efficiently the work is done, the less likelihood of being caught out by the weather.
And fast not in the sense of sloppy or slipshod. At DJ Parkyn we offer a fast turn around while ensuring that all surfaces are adequately prepared for a perfect finish.
2. Perfect Every Time Professional results flattering every client
One of spray paint’s best qualities as far as our Christchurch clients go is the finish. There’s no way to beat that smooth, flawless appearance that spray application offers. No streaking, no roller marks, no brush marks — just beautiful, clean lines that make every room look its best.
And that’s especially when you’re going for sleek interiors and minimalist décor, where blemishes are that much more in your face. We also think it’s the best option for commercial paint jobs, where a clean, glossy finish is a priority.
Picking the perfect colour makes all the difference as well. Whether you’re trying to match an existing colour or after that daring new look, we can find the product F+ provides from reputable Christchurch retailers to get a perfect match for your job.
3. Perfect for Difficult Surfaces and Detail Work
Not every painting job is as cut and dry. Consider fine cornices, exposed beams, unplastered brick walls, intricate fencing. Spray paint is perfect for these surfaces, getting into every crack and crevice that brush and rollers typically miss.
There are so many beautiful character homes, villas and bungalows with pretty detailing in Christchurch and we love enhancing these features and giving them a new lease on life. From New Brighton villas to Sydenham shopfronts, we’ve restored it all and in many cases spray painting, has been our not so secret weapon.
4. Better Coverage, Less Waste
So with spray painting you end up with a fine mist of paint that falls on whatever you are hitting. This method typically utilizes less paint than traditional approaches — while maintaining durability. Less coats save your product cost and reduce waste for the next coating, definitely a money saver and becomes friendly to your wallet as well as the environment.
We use only the best paints available from a local Christchurch store which will not only look amazing but stand up to your local weather for years.
5. Works Really Well With Christchurch Climate
What’s more, anyone who has ever lived here knows that Christchurch can deliver four seasons in one day! The fact that spray paint dries faster is a big plus—no dust, pollen, or rain to ruin my hard work! And we can do many of the projects in the tighter weather windows, so that works well for both interior and exterior renovations.
For outdoor projects — decks, fences, exterior walls — spray painting enables us to give a professional finish that’s ready to brave whatever the Canterbury skies have in store for us.
Frequently Asked Questions About Spray Painting in Christchurch
There are usually a few things our customers want to ask us before they hand us their item to be spray painted, and that’s cool because it’s usually a good idea to be well informed before you decide.
How Much To Spray Paint Interior Of A House?
Prices will depend on the size of your home, the condition of the surfaces, the colour you choose and the type of product you need. So for a home in Christchurch, you would expect to pay an anywhere from $25- $50 per square metre for interior professional spray painting, on average.
If the house requires a lot of prep work (such as repairs, sanding or priming), that can also lead to increased costs. To avoid any surprises, DJ Parkyn is happy to offer you a free, no obligations quote.
Is it acceptable to use a spray gun to apply paint to the outside of a house?
Absolutely — exterior spray painting can look amazing when it’s done correctly! It’s quick, it provides an even finish and it’s suitable for all kinds of surfaces, including wood, brick and even some types of concrete.
The secret of a successful result is in the preparation; surfaces need to be well cleaned, repaired and treated with high quality, exterior grade products designed for the Christchurch climate.
We’ve done exterior spray painting jobs all over the city, from merivale homes to addington commercial buildings — and with outstanding results.
Is spray-painting a house as good as brush painting?
Absolutely — and often it’s even better! Much, of course, depends on the skill of the painter. If poorly done, spray painting can result in thin spots or overspray, where it’s done professionally (like we do at DJ Parkyn) it creates a smooth, hardwearing finish that is difficult to achieve with a brush.
Granted, there are definitely times when brushing is better (small touch-ups or in tight spaces, for example), but for all over walls, ceilings, exteriors, or commercial work, spray painting can’t be beat.
