What moves the price
- Size of the area being painted — larger walls or more items to spray use more paint and take longer to mask and finish.
- Condition of the surfaces — flaking paint, rust or dents need sanding and filling before any spray painting can start.
- Materials used — specialist coatings for metal or a high-gloss finish cost more than standard spray paint.
- Complexity of the project — detailed cabinet or furniture spraying changes the hours on site, and the hours are most of the price.
- Required preparation — masking, sanding and priming often take longer than the spray painting itself.

How to pay less
- Having several items sprayed in one visit, such as doors and cabinets together, spreads the masking and set-up costs.
- Emptying and clearing the room before the spray painter arrives cuts the time spent moving furniture and masking.
- Keeping a similar colour and finish may need fewer coats than a dramatic change, which can lower the spray painting price.
- Taking off handles, hinges and fittings yourself before the spray painting starts saves the painter that time.
- Spray painting tired cabinets or furniture you already own usually costs far less than buying new ones.
Before you book
- Access to the areas that need painting, ensuring they are clear of obstructions.
- Information on the type of surfaces to be painted and any previous coatings.
- Choices regarding paint colours and finishes, if not already decided.
- Good ventilation in the room if the spray painting is done indoors.
- You can ask about the spray painter's experience with your surface, and how they protect the room and ventilate it while spraying.
