Full Wall TV Built -in ...Arctic White

We recently completed a full wall built-in

out of Canadian Maple and finished in

Arctic White w HVLP spray (Satin Sheen).

 

The best thing about built-ins is you give

up way less floor space, have a nice focal

point for the TV and do away with some

of these particle board cheap TV consoles

you see at the Big Box stores.

 

Client was blown away by the quality of

the fit and finish...and the price....!

 

All ls NOT LOST !

Back in the Fall we were given the chance to work

on some fine teakwood paneling on a vintage 1980's

sailboat. What you sometimes see due to the moisture

and condensation is wood that begins to rot from constant

dampness...most of the time teak is quite resistant hence its

use in boat manufacturing.

We power oscillated, stained with Early American

Woodsong Stains and clear coated with 4 mils dft

marine spar varnish, mist coated with an HVLP rig.

The woodwork will now be able to withstand another

20 years of life on the water !

Strip,Refinish and Rebuild



We usually go the extra mile for good clients

and in this case, we felt it was a better solution

to cut, shape and router new drawer fronts

for the existing drawer boxes, rather than

work with the legacy face fronts. We had

these cut, shaped and routered to the same

profile in less than 1 hour. We also stripped

out the old finish from the face frames so

that a nice refinish result is possible.







We were given the challenge of coming
up with a solution for aged but good
condition cabinet doors that had multiple
old coats of alkyd and latex paints...doors
were probably over 40 years old but suprisingly
good shape as they were routed out of solid
maple with a dish profile. As you can
see above the before and after shows the
effectiveness of the new Enviro friendly
strippers from Dumond Chemical...Smart
Strip can take off 10-15 coats of finish within
a 20-30 minute dwell time (covered in plastic)
and is super safe to work with.





 

Our Spray Shop

Our spray shop features a 625 cfm extraction booth,
1500 sqft2 of space and can finish 2-3 kitchens at
a time. Why mess up your house with sanding dust,
particulates and methylene chloride stripping fumes when
you can get us to uninstall, refinish and re-install !

All waterborne solutions may require longer surface prep
and sanding, however the safety is worth it both for our
clients and the environment.

We DO NOT spray solvent based coatings or hybrid
coatings with any Stoddard Solvent, Benzene or Vinyl
Toluene...these products are OLD technology, the wrong
technology and can ignite. We could not get a fire inspection
certificate if we did spray those coatings as many booths
in the 90's were shut down as they posed significant fire
and explosion hazards.

Booking Information for New Clients

Just a quick note that our calendar of projects is filling up
quickly in the New Year.If you are considering a cabinet
refinishing project we do require minimum 3 weeks lead time
to fit your project in and give our suppliers time to ready
product - and this includes lacquers, cabinet hardware, hinges
and other related items. We cannot "wave a magic wand" and
turn your project around in 3-6 days, nor would we want to
do this disservice to you. Fine finishes require application, check
and sandback and curing time prior to applying hardware so
that if you need to perform a repair your doors are not stuck
firm to your hinges etc. Deposits are required on all confirmed
projects - no exceptions !

Our preferred suppliers are Becker-Acroma, Gemini Lacquer and
Sherwin-Williams. Hardware we choose from Richelieu,
Amerock and Blum from Rockler Woodworking in Buffalo,NY.
You will not find a better woodworking retailer in North
America in terms of service, choice and proximity to the Great
Lakes region.

All in shop finishes are sprayed with AA gun from a low pulsation
Merkur pump, on-site finishes are sprayed with air compressor
and gravity gun.

Projects can be booked online by email colorscapespainting@gmail.com
or calling us at 905-802-6099.
