    Our driver can collect a job or leave a finished item from/to a safe place of your choice. If this is not suitable for you, we can always reschedule your service.
  • Can we go through the job with the driver to make sure it is marked correctly?

    You would need to check the piece immediately if possible. In case if driver has already left, please take a picture of the broken package and send to us with other order details.
  • Will my order be appropriately protected and wrapped for transportation?
    Yes, we do wrap all our jobs to provide adequate protection. Usually it is double protection.
  • What can you spray?
    We can spray pretty much any hard and stable materials such as wood, metal, glass, plastics, MFC, MDF, etc.
  • Can you spray flexible materials?
    No we don’t spray anything that can stretch.

    Yes we can, but our paint can’t hold two pieces of material together and the crack will eventually appear between moving parts.
  • Can you fix badly glued joinery?
    Yes we will do everything we can to fix the problem without sending it back to you, but sometimes it is just beyond repair.
  • Can you spray bad quality MDF?
    Yes we can, but would prefer higher quality MDF. If you are using cheap MDF, there is always a risk that we won’t be able to achieve highest quality on your job.
  • Can you close grains on the veneer or solid wood?
    Yes we can close the grains or keep them open. You need to decide on the finish before you send it to us within your inquiry as this may affect the final cost.
  • Can you spray on top of the existing finish?
    Yes we can as long as the existing finish is PU (Polyurethane) spray painted, but not hand painted with oil-based or water-based paint. Stripping off the existing finish may incur significant extra charges added to the job.

    No we don’t offer this kind of service.
  • Can you spray old furniture?
    We do not offer this service.
  • Do I need to fill any holes or edges?
    You don't have to do it, but you would need to clearly mark next to each hole whether you need it filled or not. You don't need to mark any hinge holes.
  • Is there any extra charge for holes filling and job preparation?
    Usually, we don't charge our clients any extra for preparation, unless there is a lot of extra work involved. Any extra charges will be communicated and explained to you before we start any work.
  • Can I use a marker or a pen to mark up my job?
    No, you can’t use anything but a simple pencil. Any chemicals that exist in ink or marker can affect the item's finish.
  • Do I need to wrap the job into some sort of packaging before collection?
    This is not necessary but always welcomed.
  • How to indicate sides that don't need spraying?
    Just simply put a big cross with a pencil on the sides that do not require any spraying.
  • How to indicate sides that required primer only?
    Just simply put a large letter "P" on that side with a pencil.

    No, we only accept emails for explanation, but the job still must be properly marked up, unless all sides and edges need spraying. Any unmarked panels will be sprayed on all sides.
