Hand Painted Kitchen Liverpool
Hand Painted Kitchen Liverpool: I paint a lot of kitchens. From brand new installations to make over from dark pine to a stunning masterpiece. This kitchen was a Charles Yorke Kitchen.
It had been previously painted. In fact new flooring had been laid down, and the entire kitchen had to be removed! This was due to remedial works having to be undertaken. This once put back, It needed painting again. Hand Painted Kitchen Liverpool
In fact, it looked better than it did in the first place once the project was completed.
I spotted some imperfections which were not to my discerning eye. So in came the prep with a vengeance!
I thoroughly rubbed down all the surfaces after giving the kitchen a serious de greasing. This was ensure there were no residues of grease to interfere with the application of the high adhesion primer which was mixed to the colour of the top coats. I tend to use Tikkurila’s brand called Maalipesu. Its extremely strong and can be used neat on extremely greasy kitchens! The kind of greasy kitchen where it gets under the nails. However, it is dilutable and generally your kitchen will not need a neat application of it. Hand Painted Kitchen Liverpool
Then there is abrading. It is a common mistake to abrade first as all one is doing is spreading the grease around and into the grooves. This is not condusive to a guaranteed, chip proof finish. Starting with a strong and proven degreaser that is environmentally friendly, is the key.
Tikkurila Helmi
I applied the three coats of Tikkurila Helmi 10 eggshell finish rubbing down between coats to give it a super smooth finish. This gives real solidity of colour, especially when the priming coat is also tinted to the same colour as the finish. This client wanted an eggshell finish that was classy and almost Matt. I am always a step ahead as I know this is usually the to finish.
Helmi 10 is a 10 percent sheen level when viewed at an angle. However, I do provide a lower sheen level. Bear in mind when you choose the sheen level of paint, that it’s always better to have some kind of sheen, even if very little, as this makes the kitchen more wipeable. Helmi is my go to paint at 10% sheen level. Everyone loves it when I show them the results of their kitchen which has been expertly painted. Hand Painted Kitchen Liverpool
