🥊 The Great Finish Face-Off: 2 vs. 3 vs. 4
Stop guessing and let the pros handle the finish look of your walls. Whether you're refreshing a modern townhouse or restoring a weatherboard classic, the number of coats matters.
✌️ Two Coats: The "Reliable Refresh"
The industry standard for a clean, quality update.
• Best for: Same-color refreshes or well-maintained walls.
• Result: Great coverage and a beautiful, true-to-color finish.
👌 Three Coats: The "Elite Heritage"
The sweet spot for depth and longevity.
• Best for: Drastic colour changes or high-traffic family zones.
• Result: Superior durability and a pigment depth that makes heritage features truly pop.
💎 Four Coats: The "Showstopper"
The ultimate transformation. Sometimes, four coats isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a technical necessity.
• Best for: Massive colour shifts (like going from charcoal to white) or high-pigment colours that need extra layers to reach 100% opacity.
• Result: A flawless, solid finish with zero "ghosting" from the old paint. We don’t stop until the coverage is perfect.
🛠️ Why Prep is Our Secret Weapon
We don’t just slap paint on. We sand, fill, and prime because even 10 coats won't hide poor prep. We’ll tell you straight up if your colour choice requires those extra layers to look its best—we’re here for a result that lasts, not a quick fix.
