The finish simulator
See the finish before the first coat.
Colour is only half the decision. Sheen decides how a wall handles light, how much it hides, and how it survives family life. Pick a finish, move the sun, then throw a week of wear at it.

Where it earns its keep
Painter's note
An illustration to start the conversation, not a colour match and not a rating of any product. Screens vary, the colour names are ours, and the gauges and wear results describe the simulated finish. A consultation comes with real samples of the materials.
Specialist coatings
A point of difference, applied by hand.
Some specialist coatings protect your building and reduce maintenance costs. Others are simply designed to create a look that stands out from the crowd. We talk through your design ideas in detail, provide samples of materials, then source and apply everything to your budget.
No. 02
French wash
Creates a marble-look effect, and works very well for the repainting of interior spaces.
No. 03
Textured or metallic
Adds lustre or shine to the look of your interior or exterior design work. Beautiful feature paints, applied with the utmost skill.
No. 04
Polished plaster
A good option for interiors, including areas that need to be waterproof like bathrooms and kitchens, or where a polished industrial concrete look is desired.
- Porters PaintsOne of only seven companies in Auckland that can apply the Porters Paints gilded finish range, which opens up an even greater range of colours, textures and effects for wall and floor surfaces.
- NovacolorTrained in the application of Novacolor products: Italian-style textured and decorative finishes, loved by architects and interior designers alike.
- To the letterEvery specialist coating is applied to the exact manufacturer's specification. We never cut corners.
Protective coatings
Waterproof membranes, applied exactly to the product specification.
A fantastic way to protect the base building materials, especially around the roof, basement floors, internal wet areas and wall cladding. They are also a great tool for exterior restorations, and work well with older-style materials that need repair or refreshing.
- Rubberised latex
- Polyurethane-based membrane
- Anti-slip industrial floor coating
We work directly with you to identify and supply exactly what your project needs, and you can rely on our Master Painters guarantee in the unlikely event any problems arise.
Residential and commercial painting
Old villas brought back to life. New builds finished properly.
Every house is different, so we bring a fresh take to each job, backed by years of experience, taking into account its age, location and materials. No painting job is too big or small, from your kitchen to the whole house.
Residential
Character villas, renovations and new dream homes, inside and out.
We have been part of restoring some truly fabulous homes around the city, and of bringing new dream homes to life with our clients' final paint finish choices. Alongside expert preparation and finishing, each space is kept clean throughout, including vacuum sanding to eliminate dust and a final clean-up when the project is complete.

What our clients say
Mate your guys have made our place our castle! It looks mint. Looking forward to paying your invoice and stage two upstairs.
Our 100 year old Villa has been transformed inside and out thanks to Hayden and his team. If you’re looking for detailed prep, excellent product knowledge, and a top level finish I recommend you speak to Hayden. His team offer friendly open conversation and a willingness to go the extra mile. We are delighted with the result.
Hayden and his team are a pleasure to have onsite, their work is completed in full, on time, and to a high standard. Very polite and clean while working in our commercial buildings that tenants have asked for them to return for new jobs.
Hey mate, thanks for a speedy job despite the challenging weather conditions. Great work on the massive clean up at the end too.
You and your team have done an amazing job of our renovation. The Wood Wash ceiling looks fantastic.
