    Are You Spending Your Weekend in Bunnings? Call Sterling Painters Melbourne Instead!

    Weekend In Bunnings, Are You a House Painter?

    Melbourne, world renowned for its’ wonderful cafe culture, but you’re in Bunnings!

    “Some of the best coffee in the world is served in Melbourne, but you’re in Bunnings!”

    You simply delight in your local hipster cafe’s ‘Peruvian Pueblos Smashed Avo with a hint of Ecuadorian Andies, on the side’, but you’re in Bunnings!

    Tins of paint, brushes, rollers, filler, boredom, dropsheets, acrylic or enamel, Antique White USA or Whisper White, apathy. YES you’re in Bunnings!

    “Leave the trolley to one side, walk away, head up, shoulders back, take pride. Get to the cafe, you deserve it, you’ve worked all week afterall. “

    Your House Painters Melbourne

    By simply calling Sterling Painters we could have saved you all this heartache. We’re professional painters, qualified and experienced Master Painters. We paint for a living. We enjoy painting. And we enjoy breakfasts on the weekend too. We’re your house painters Melbourne.

    A common mistake DIYers make is believing that any painting project is a small project. Easily completed over a weekend. Most painting, if not all, involves ‘coats of paint’, which means you’re going to be painting it all over again. And quite possibly, again! How many breakfasts do you want to miss out on?

  • Painting In The Winter – Newport

    Painting In The Winter – Newport

    The Rain Didn’t Stop Play. Newport

    “Plagued by bad weather, we still delivered on time. Okay. Whilst time restraints weren’t on me, I did promise the customer ‘by the weekend’, so we worked the weekend. Painting in the winter rain.” Sterling Exterior House Painters always go the extra mile.

    The Colour Consultant did a fantastic job, the house looks great, in keeping with the neighbourhood, reflects the customers’ taste and best of all? It won’t look dated any time soon. I can pass on her details.

    Painting in the Winter Rain

    We used Norglass Marine Clear Varnish on the woodwork, as recommended by Footscray Paintspot. Difficult to use, but I’m told, the best product for the job. Always worth asking advise. We’re the painters, the experts on product application. The experts on product knowledge are the guys at the paint shop.

    We also used semi gloss on everything else, this provides a slippy surface that dust and moisture find hard to stay on. Gloss is even better, but maybe a little too refective for some people’s taste!

    Paints Used:

    • Weatherboards: Weathershield semi gloss – Self Destruct
    • Ceilings: Weathershield semi gloss – Hogs Bristle half
    • Gate/Render/Fence: Weathershield semi gloss – Caveman

  • Thinking About Interior Painting In Kensington?

    Thinking About Interior Painting In Kensington?

    Interior House Painters Kensington

    Just incase all you think we do is exterior painting, here’s proof that we can, and do, work inside. We are interior painting Kensington, house by house.

    As you can see, the paint isn’t even dry yet! But most importantly, as you can see, we clean and tidy after ourselves. Yes we got the vacuum out and wiped down the surfaces. That’s what we do.

    I daresay the client isn’t even home yet, but he’ll come back to a freshly painted home on a Friday evening and won’t have to do a thing. Not an iota.

    • Ceilings: Dulux Professional ceiling white
    • Walls: Dulux Wash & Wear matt Whisper White

    Weatherboard House Painters Balaclava

    It’s great for us to paint a heritage weatherboard houses and make them look really special. And as so, now we’re House Painters Balaclava, doing just that!

    The owner took our advice and we painted the house entirely in Dulux Weathershield gloss. Because gloss forms a barrier that simply repells rain and dust, and so, the house is protected for longer.

    Recommending the trim at the sides and back be painted in a lighter colour, rather than the traditional dark green, gave a better idea of space. And as so, made the house seem larger. See Sterling Exterior Painters for more details.

    Paints Used:

    • Weatherboards: Dulux Weathershield gloss Regency White.
    • Trim: Dulux Weathershield gloss Bronzed Green
    • Trim: Dulux Weathershield gloss Regency White quarter
