🎨 CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOUR MATTERS! 🎨
We loved seeing this post from our friends at Inspirations Paint, highlighting something we’ve always said — never judge a colour while it’s still wet!
As paint dries, it can change in appearance, generally becoming darker and less reflective and revealing its true finish and colour. That’s why taking the time to apply a generous sample and viewing it once completely dry can make all the difference when choosing your perfect colour.
And speaking of colours and paint… we’ve got a pretty special relationship with the team at Inspirations Paint Devonport & Burnie.
For over 40 years, Ashdown Painting Services has been working alongside the Inspirations Paint team, and we can honestly say our business wouldn’t be where it is today without their help, expert knowledge and ongoing support. 🙌
From helping us choose the right products and colours to sharing their knowledge and experience, their team has been a huge part of our journey over the decades.
We’re proud to support local businesses, work with great people and continue those relationships that have stood the test of time. ❤️
40+ years of painting, partnerships and supporting one another — and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Thanks to the team at Inspirations Paint Devonport & Burnie for all your support over the years. 👏🎨

For the most accurate result, brush out a generous sample and view it once it's completely dry. Your future self will thank you.
