OUR JOB IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED
Important Information About Painting By Master Painter NZ
Many people have heard that with
painting, preparation is everything.
Well not quite everything, but it is
very important.
Expect this to be reflected in the cost
of your job.
Here are some of the reasons you ask
a professional to help, and may
explain some of the costs they have
quoted to you:
Holes and cracks need proper
filling
Ask for good fillers, ones which
are right for the job.
Old surfaces need good
preparation
Appropriate safety and access
equipment is essential.
Rotten or decaying surfaces
(especially timber) may mean the
surface needs work or the timber
needs replacement.
Your painter may be able to help with
woodwork, but often another
tradesman will be needed. Also note
that as a rule, newly supplied wood,
which has been exposed to the weather
for 4 weeks or more, is best if sanded
back.
Mould , water stains, wallpapers and
glue, old plaster surfaces, rust, and
flaky and powdery old paint are
amongst the things that pose
challenges. Old or raw surfaces often
need cleaning and sealing. Rust needs
treating. Old putties and fillers often
need removing and replacing:
cleaning and resealing with an
appropriate product is often the key.
Filling and sanding takes time and the
right products. Grime and dust may
not be obvious but surfaces almost always need cleaning.
Blistering, flaking and peeling of paint
on wooden surfaces is usually caused
by moisture under paint. Painting over
stains (for example, caused by water)
can involve special steps, as can
painting surfaces previously treated
with stains and oils.
Water problems need proper fixing
before you paint, and often another
tradesman will need to do this for you.
They are often a sign of a greater
problem and your painter will rely on
you if you say the problem is fixed. If
its not, and the paint job then fails,
your ability to complain will be limited.
If inside, the problem may be
condensation. Painting in wet areas
requires special steps to be taken.
Don’t skimp on costs if it means
skimping on preparation.
The cheapest quote may well be because
there is less preparation.

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats
Hello everyone,
I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.
Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).
Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.
Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.
For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.
Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
