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.

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.

Touching up paint is one of those ideas that looks good on paper and never looks good on the walls or ceiling. Even if you know the color, brand and kind of paint, time, sunlight, dirt and interior temperatures and air quality have an effect on the finish which makes it impossible to match. The best practice is always to paint an entire ceiling or wall so it ages evenly.

The splotchy ceiling and dull walls were an eyesore to a Midtown Manhattan couple who wanted their new condo to be fresh and clean before they moved in. One of the most popular paints on the market is Benjamin Moore’s White Dove, and here the classic, soft shade proved perfect for the trim. The walls are Pale Oak, a greige color. Greige is a fairly new word that crosses gray and beige for a warm taupe. Their choice of this neutral palette is brilliant for showcasing artwork, fabric and upholstery, bold splashes of color or subtle hints of earth tones and pastels.
