NYC High Gloss Trim Painting

You can add bling to any outfit or any room. One involves sparkles and gem stones, and the other often utilizes high gloss paint. Surfaces with high gloss paint are super smooth and known for being shiny and bright. They attract attention for their high gloss, which reflects light at 70% or more, compared with flat paint with absorbs light and has a single digit gloss rating.  

Accent Ceiling Trim Painting

High gloss paint is often found in high traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms for its durability. It is easy to clean as well. It also makes a dramatic accent tool, and in this Big Apple residence, the wood ceiling beams and trim were painted in a lustrous dark color. The light plays whimsically off the gloss, and the entire space exudes a glamourous look with a touch of playfulness.  

Midtown High-End Painting

The Paintworks employees are well-trained and experienced in applying high gloss paint, which can be the most tricky of paints to work with. From the proper surface preparation to the suitable brushes or rollers to use with high gloss paint, these projects can be especially intensive. Thin coats are often the smartest approach to spreading paint smoothly, first time and each consecutive application. These homeowners had a keen design vision to bring high gloss flamboyance to the beautiful architectural trim in their home, and we enjoyed adding a captivating high gloss component to this room.

After French Wash Wall Application

Before French Wash on Walls

Manhattan Decorative Painter

We were contacted by an innovative homeowner who wanted to make his newly purchased apartment uniquely his own before moving in. His vision included the warm look of multi-grain wood and walls with a French Wash. Our Paintworks team installed the new floor and added a modern, flat profile baseboard finished with quarter-round shoe molding.  

Walls are the largest expanse in any room, and here we used Benjamin Moore’s Nickel as the base coat and the company’s Smoke Gray for the top coat. The French Wash effect adds texture and depth with a soft marbleized appearance. To achieve this novel result, we used a large swath of muslin cloth working non-stop as the Smoke Gray paint was applied in random brush strokes followed by patting the wall quickly and expertly with the fabric. The outcome is a stunning, deep pewter, contemporary interior with an industrial flair where the homeowner can proudly host friends and relax himself.
