Cabinets
Cabinet Painting in Geelong
Highlight Painting paints and refinishes cabinets. It is a smaller part of the work than house painting or commercial painting, and it is quoted as its own job. The photographs on this page are illustrations of painted cabinetry. They are not Highlight Painting projects.
A separate scope
Painting the cabinet, not the room around it
Kitchen, vanity and other fitted cabinets can be painted when the surface is sound enough to take a coating. Wall painting in the same room is interior house painting. The two can be quoted together, and they should be listed separately. No product brand or specialist coating system is named on this page.
Preparation
Doors off the cabinet
Doors may need to come off, hardware may need to be removed or masked, and the surface has to be cleaned and made sound. That handling time is part of the quote.
The photograph is an illustration of doors off the cabinet. It is not a Highlight Painting job, and it does not specify a coating method.
Finish
Colour and sheen
The sheen and the colour are chosen for how the cabinet is used. A kitchen door is handled every day, so the finish has to suit that wear. The product is confirmed after the surface is seen.
Other fitted cabinets
Cabinetry beyond the kitchen
Kitchen, vanity and other fitted cabinets can be painted when the surface is sound enough to take a coating. The laundry in this photograph is an illustration of that cabinetry, not a Highlight Painting project.
The work
What a cabinet enquiry can include
Doors, drawer fronts and frames that are suitable to paint or refinish. Fixed prices and product names are not published.
Refinishing
An existing finish that needs to be prepared before a new coating will hold. The condition of that finish is assessed on site. A failed or greasy surface is a different job from a clean, sound one.
