Every spray job is tented and extracted — overspray stops at the plastic, not at your curtains. Doors travel to our booth when the weather argues; the tent comes to you when it does not. spray@mistcoatfinishing.example

What we do
Spray versus hand
What the gun wins
Catalysed enamel applied by gun goes on in four thin coats that level themselves — no brush marks, no orange peel, edges as crisp as the day the kitchen was delivered, cured hard enough for keys and kettles by the weekend. Rollers and brushes leave ridges a raking light finds forever; the gun leaves a film you can read a watch face in.
What the hand still wins
Rails, fences, newel posts and anything downwind of a bed of geraniums: a sprayed rail mostly repaints the hedge, so those are flooded and brushed by hand, worked into the grain while wet. Inside, the cut lines at ceiling and trim are brushed — a mask line is where a lazy spray job confesses.
The prep either way
Eighty per cent of a finish that lasts is before any coating moves: degrease, sand to 320, feather every nick, prime bare spots with a bonding primer that grips the old enamel instead of arguing with it. The tent, the tack mats and the HEPA extractor come out whether the coat that follows is sprayed or laid on with a badger-soft brush.
How it goes
A kitchen in three days
The same sequence on every job — the only variable is your project.
Before day one
The walkthrough & the match
Doors counted, colour matched to a chip, a drawer front or a Pantone reference, and sheen chosen from real dried samples — satin hides fingerprints, semigloss flatters shaker profiles, and the card explains which and why for your kitchen.
Day 1
Off, out, and tented
Doors and drawers come off, get labelled in a muffin tin of hardware, and the run is tented with zipper walls and window extraction. Carcasses are masked to a knife line, not a line of hope.
Day 2
The four coats
Bonding primer, then three thin coats of catalysed enamel, each flashed off before the next. The tent stays shut overnight while the film levels itself flat.
Day 3
Hung, cleaned, handed back
Doors back on their soft-close hinges, hinges back on their doors, tent down, floors vacuumed, and a raking-lamp walk with you before the van closes. Leftover enamel is labelled and shelved in your garage for the day a door meets a bicycle.
The wall
Factory-flat, in your kitchen
Two firms quoted to replace the kitchen. Mistcoat sprayed it in three days for a fifth of the money, and the finish is smoother than the doors the builder put in. The neighbour asked where we bought the new kitchen — same kitchen, two colours braver.
Fair questions
Is sprayed finish really tougher than brushed?
Catalysed enamel cured from four thin coats is harder and more chemical-resistant than any brushed film — it is what the factory put on your doors the first time. Brushed paint is for texture and edges; a cured spray coat is for surfaces that take abuse.
What about the overspray?
The tent and the extractor answer that: overspray stops at the plastic. Kitchens stay tented for the full three days, furniture sprays happen in our booth, and the only thing that leaves the work area is the air we filter.
Can you match the colour of the doors that stay?
Yes — spectro-matched to a drawer front you keep, or to any chip or Pantone reference, with a sprayed sample dried and approved before the bulk mix is opened. Matching is on the card as included, because half a kitchen is no kitchen.
Do you spray walls as well?
Only where it earns itself: long uninterrupted corridors and commercial walls roll and lay off just as flat in a fraction of the masking. We will say so at the walkthrough, quote it as rolling, and spend the gun where the gun wins.
How long until we can use the kitchen?
Cabinets are light-use at 24 hours, hard-use at the weekend, and the tent is down on day three regardless. The catalysed film is doing its curing in hours, not weeks — that is the other thing the gun buys.
Name the piece. We name the tool.
Doors, spindles, garage doors or a whole kitchen — the quote says which surfaces meet the gun and which meet the brush, priced by the piece off the card above. spray@mistcoatfinishing.example
