Some photographs of a recent piano project we did in Knowle.

The mouldings were fitted by a carpenter prior to our arrival and this certainly gives some nice detail to the otherwise plain panels
The removal of the lid and key cover hinges is time consuming, there can sometimes 80 more, and we always cover the internals so that no screws can drop inside. These would be almost impossible to retrieve and if they get lodged will certainly affect or even damage the piano when it’s played.
All the internal workings and the back panel are masked off so no overspray can get past. Paying attention to this now is better than unmasking to find paint is inside the piano.
Everything is then cleaned down, sanded and thoroughly vacuumed and dusted off.
The piano body is then given one coat of adhesion primer with a Wagner low pressure sprayer. All the panels, lid an key cover is sprayed away from the main body and placed on a rack
When the primer is dry everything is lightly sanded, vacuumed and dusted off. Also paying attention to the floor because it that is dusty it will kick up and land on the finish coats.
The chosen finish colour was to be an off black but that didn’t work and looked like a very dark grey when applied so we switched to Benjamin Moore’s standard black in Scuff-X Eggshell. Two coats of this were applied with a Tecnover airless sprayer and Graco Silver Gun.
When all the parts were dry we removed the masking and refitted all the lids and panels, again putting some brown masking over the internals to make sure no screws are lost inside.
We think this project turned out very well.

A recent small kitchen done in Central Birmingham.

The original finish of the doors and end panels was a mid/dark grey with the frames in beech.

The doors were a vinyl wrap that if in good condition can be painted. There were a few loose edges but these were soon suck back in a few seconds with carpenter’s mitre two pack.

After a clean down a coat of Zinsser Cover stain was applied leaving overnight to cure. After sanding back the primer smooth and removing any dust, two coats of Benjamin Moore Scuff-X Eggshell in Silver Lake were applied, sanding between coats.

Something a little different.

A recent bathroom in Leamington Spa required, amongst other things, the painting of a new cast iron bath and one wall to be papered.

The bath was first sanded down and given a coat of Zinsser Cover Stain for adhesion. This was followed by 2 coats of Little Greene Oil Eggshell in Pleat. We were originally going to leave the whole bath including the feet in the same colour but after consultation with the customer we decided to paint the feet in another colour. The eventual colour closed was Ardenbrite Metallic Antique Gold.

The wallpaper chosen, again Liitle Greene, was hung behind the bath. This wallpaper isn’t washable so it was given 2 coats of Polyvine Matt Decorator’s Varnish to seal.

Two fireplaces recently finished in South Leicestershire.

Both were in a fairly dark brick and the homeowners wanted both, particularly the large one, lightening to brighten the room. As the main one is still being used we chose not to apply the new finish to the hearth bricks.

After sealing the bricks with Zinsser Gardz, I applied 2 coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Country Grey. When dry I sanded back to give a weathered whitewash look. As the mortar and the brick were level I sended the edges slightly more to give the impression the were slightly raised.

After sanding and removing the dust a coat of Annie Sloan Clear Wax was applied to protect and give more definition.
