Door/window spray painters?
Benzine - 7/4/22 at 11:44 AM

My work is spread between construction projects and working at a joinery shop. The joinery shop has a large job coming up in the coming months doing a large quantity of doors. They'd like to get the doors sprayed (i.e. drop them off somewhere and come back when ready) but I can't seem to find such a place. I know they're out there as I've spoken to other joiners on building sites who have mentioned them over the years.

All my searches return results for: bog standard painters and decorators, on site sprayers (i.e. business/factory spraying), UPVC door/window resprays, commercial vehicle and auto repairs. Anyone know if there's a magic term/word that I'm missing to find them?

I know what you refer to, my mate's a carpenter and gets things sprayed before delivering to customers.

I'll ask him how he found who he uses in Brighton.

Thanks for that! I'll have a look. I've also had some luck with the terms "spray finishing" or "finishers"

Can you not set up to spray yourself.
I'm a carpenter/cabinet maker by trade and always sprayed our own products.
It's quite an easy skill to pick up and any mistakes only require a light sand.

Good points

Spraying generally gives a better finish than brush painting, quicker too.
