Cameron was fabulous - very communicative via Airtasker (I was a nervous first time user). He arrived early to undertake the task; was equally open and engaging in person; got immediately to work; was critical and considerate in the work he undertook (e.g. we reviewed the ceiling clean together, and he pointed to additional touch ups he'd undertaken of his own accord). Wouldn't hesitate to re-engage Cameron!

What does a painting service include?

Usually, painting services will include the full process from setup and preparation to painting and final clean up. Some common painting services include:

House painting

House painting services involve a range of tasks to transform both the interiors and exteriors of your home. Expert house painters can walk you through the entire painting process–from colour consultation and surface preparation to paint application.

  • Interior painting - Painting your interior walls will give your space a fresh new look, help reduce cooking smells, control mould, and remove fingerprints and marks. A professional painter with a Certificate IV license will choose paints to suit the style and function of your kitchen, bedroom, ceiling, or bathroom. Preparation starts with removing or covering furniture and putting down drop sheets, along with washing any wall surfaces. Your painter will repair any surface holes then sand rough areas and prime if needed. To paint walls and ceilings, your painter will start by cutting in with a small brush, before covering the remaining surfaces with a roller brush. They may apply 2-3 coats to create a smooth, even surface. Finally, your painter will clean up by washing out the brushes and rollers, folding up drop any cloths, and removing the tape from windows and outlets.
  • Exterior painting - It’s important to maintain paintwork for your home’s exterior, not only for your home’s value and first impressions but because it’s constantly exposed to the elements. You’ll need to repaint weatherboards every few years, plus fences, gutters, window-sills, and doorways every 5-10 years to maintain a fresh look. When you hire an exterior painter, they’ll usually sand back and prep the area, taking off any cracked or peeling paint, and then prime and paint the surfaces. They’ll choose a paint designed for your climate and structure to ensure it lasts. Once they’re finished, your painter will inspect for any missed spots and check the edges are all neat.

Graffiti and murals

Your business, nursery, or feature wall will stand out from the crowd with a graffiti mural, or larger-than-life artwork. If you have a design ready to go, your painter can enlarge this onto your walls, or design a custom piece for your home or office. Your painter will prepare the surface by cleaning it carefully, putting down drop sheets, and painting a base colour if needed. Then they’ll get to work on your artwork, using a ladder to reach each part of the painting. They’ll likely reference an existing drawing or photo throughout the process to ensure they have every detail right. Once they’re finished, they’ll pack up their equipment, wash out any brushes used, and remove the drop sheet. Some artwork may be finished in just a few hours, while larger, highly detailed pieces may take weeks.

Paint stripping 

Many painters are experienced in paint removal, too. Since paint stripping is generally a messy and time-consuming job, it’s a good idea to outsource it to a professional. Some common reasons for paint stripping include new colour for your interior doors, removing wood stain from kitchen cabinets so you can update the colour, or stripping cracked paint from a surface so it’s ready for repainting. Your professional painter can also help with graffiti removal and repainting, as well. Depending on the surface, they’ll use a mixture of scraping tools, sandpaper, and chemicals to remove as much paint as is needed, ensuring proper safety and ventilation throughout.

Paint my 4x4 chassis

$300

Aloomba QLD, Australia

19th May 2024

I need some help applying raptor anti corrosive primer and tough top-coat paint to the chassis and rear diff of my Toyota Hilux 4 x4. The chassis and rear diff have been completely prepped (the hard part of the painting process) - cleaned, degreased, rust removed and sanded, degreased again. Your help is needed for the painting step. The areas that need painting are the forward (infront of the cab/under the engine) and the aft (under the tray) sections of the chassis, and the rear diff. There might also be a future opportunity to do the bull bar and tow bar if that is of interest to you. I have the primer and top-coat paints, rollers, brushes, mixing cups etc. needed for the project. I also have some plastic sheets to keep dust away from the painting area. Painting with raptor can follow a wet-on-wet application process. There needs to be three coats of the anticorrosive primer (5-10 minute flash-off period) to the areas of the chassis and diff that need it. Then three coats of the raptor top coat, with a flash time of 60 minutes in between coats. I work from home most days and am flexible with timing. Ideally, we can organize a time when the humidity is below 90% and temperatures around 25 degrees. Any questions, please feel free to reach out.
