Notes from the job

  • Painter rolling above a masked classroom doorway with a mini roller, brush and paint pail held in the other hand, chairs stacked aside

    How classroom doors, frames and cupboards are repainted

    Classroom doors, frames and cupboards take more handling than any wall in a school, and repainting them is detail work. How it is done — pinboards masked, cupboard doors painted flat, a dark colour covered in white — with photographs from Our Lady of the Pines in Donvale.

  • Three painters cutting in a childcare room ceiling, two on stepladders, while a fourth works the plastic sheeting over the furniture

    How a childcare centre is repainted while it is closed

    A childcare centre is best repainted while it is closed, with the play furniture sheeted where it stands and every room clean before children return. How that works, with photographs from Goodstart centres in Mount Martha and Belgrave Heights and a kindergarten in Croydon.

  • A harnessed painter on a scissor lift rolling bright green onto a panelled factory wall with an extension pole

    Repainting a working factory in its brand colours

    A factory exterior can be repainted in brand colours without stopping production. How the Noble Park job was prepared, coated and reached — washing, render repairs, two coats, scissor lifts and harnesses — with photographs from the site.

  • A painter in company uniform running an extension-pole roller up a wall beside glass offices, drop sheets down and a second painter behind

    How to repaint offices across multiple sites under one contract

    Repainting several offices for one organisation is a programme, not a string of jobs. How eleven NDIS offices across Melbourne were repainted under one contract — per-site pricing, a pre-start at every site, after-hours work — with photographs from the Frankston office.

  • A painter in company uniform rolling the underside of a lime-green slatted ceiling, drop sheets on the polished showroom floor

    Painting a slatted feature ceiling in a brand colour

    A slatted feature ceiling in a strong brand colour is one of the slowest surfaces in a fit-out to paint well. How it is done — access, floor protection, small rollers and colour checks — with photographs from the Ironman 4x4 showroom in Kilsyth.

  • A painter rolling a column in the showroom with an extension-pole roller, stepladder and plastic-sheeted desk behind

    How to repaint a car dealership without closing the showroom

    A car dealership can usually be repainted without closing the showroom. How the work is zoned, how display vehicles and tiled floors are protected, and how high bulkheads are reached — with photographs from a Toyota dealership in Croydon.
