At Catansus Painters, we don’t just spray because it looks modern – we do it when it makes sense. Spray painting can be an incredible choice when you want a smooth, even finish with no brush marks in sight. It’s fast, efficient, and ideal for large open surfaces, fresh builds or furniture that needs that factory-like finish. But it’s not for every situation, and we’ll always be honest about that

We usually recommend spray painting for new homes or recently renovated interiors – spaces that are clean, clear, and ready for fast, flawless coverage. On freshly plastered walls, it works beautifully as a first coat, setting the base quickly and evenly so the next layers bond perfectly. It’s also one of the best options for hand-painted kitchens, wardrobe doors, skirting boards or any interior woodwork that needs a crisp, high-end look.

But we don’t stop at interiors. Spray painting is also a great solution for exterior work, especially when it comes to larger facades or garden walls that require full, even coverage in less time. Used properly, it can deliver a durable, weather-resistant finish on roughcast, render, or concrete surfaces.

What makes spraying stand out is the speed and the finish. There’s no texture from rollers, no overlapping brush strokes – just a fine, soft layer of paint that wraps the surface cleanly. But that level of quality depends on full preparation. Everything around the area needs to be masked off and protected. The sprayer needs to be calibrated properly. And the painter behind the nozzle needs to know what they’re doing. That’s where we come in

Of course, if the space is lived-in, cluttered, or full of delicate furniture, spray painting might not be the best choice. We’re not here to impress with tools – we’re here to get the best result for your home. Sometimes that means brushing. Sometimes spraying. We’ll talk you through both, and recommend what truly suits your situation.

If you’re unsure whether spray painting is right for your space – inside or out – we’re happy to take a look and give you an honest answer. No pressure, no sales talk. Just real advice, from painters who care about the finish and the feeling you get when you walk into (or up to) your home.
