Hand Painted Kitchens in Hampstead NW3 — Bespoke by Brush

While HVLP spray painting delivers the smoothest possible finish on flat-fronted kitchen doors, hand painting is the correct technique for many Hampstead NW3 kitchens — particularly those with solid wood Shaker-style or traditional in-frame cabinetry, where a slight brush texture is appropriate and sympathetic to the style.

When to Choose Hand Painting

Hand painting is preferred when: the kitchen has solid wood frame-and-panel doors with complex profiles; the kitchen is an in-frame timber design; the client wants a slightly more traditional, artisan finish; or the kitchen cannot be dismantled for spraying.

The Hand Painting Process

Our hand painting process for NW3 kitchens: full degreasing with sugar soap; sanding with P120 and P180; two-component primer sealer; careful application of undercoat by brush; flatting with P240; two top coats by brush (cross-brushed) or micro foam roller. Three to four coats of high-quality paint laid on precisely.
