Why Pip & Pigment
Most of a good paint job happens before the lid comes off. We fill, sand, scrape and mask until the surface is right, because paint shows everything underneath it. Then we cut in by hand, roll twice and walk the room with you before we call it done.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Do I need to move the furniture?
No. We move it to the middle of the room, cover it and put it back. Anything fragile or precious, we'd ask you to pack away first.
How long does a room take?
A standard bedroom is a day. A whole three-bedroom interior is usually four to six days, depending on how much prep the walls need.
What paint do you use?
Low-VOC premium acrylics from the major Australian brands as standard. Tell us if you have a favourite and we'll use it.
Can you match an existing colour?
Yes. We take a chip from somewhere hidden and have it colour-matched, then test it on the wall before we roll.
Is the colour consult really free?
It is with every quote. If you just want the consult on its own, it's $180 for an hour and a written colour list.
