Purdie Painting and Decorating
Sussex based Greg from Purdie Painting and Decorating was at home when working on this kitchen refresh….literally, it was his home. Evenings and weekends weren’t his own but all the hard work was worth it. The end result was first class.
The first oven section (above) was the old one that Greg colour matched and spray finished using Tikkurila paint along with his QTech5, the top end HVLP turbine performance machine. The oak work top was refreshed using Osmo topoil.
