We understand. That daunting interior or exterior repaint? We've been there, staring down the same time-consuming task. And let's be honest, unless you're one of the rare few, painting isn't exactly a passion project.

So, how do you tackle it? We've simplified the process into four manageable steps:

1. Cleaning
2. Surface Preparation
3. Surface Masking
4. Painting

Here's the key: 90% of a successful paint job lies in meticulous preparation. The actual painting? That's the final 10%. By focusing on the process, you'll achieve a long-lasting, protective finish for your home.

Unsure about the necessary equipment? Our curated renovation kits, built from years of experience, take the guesswork out of your project.

That's the question on everyone's mind! A typical 3-bedroom interior repaint could cost $5,000-$15,000 professionally, tackling the project yourself can save between $2,000-$8,000.

Here's the breakdown:

Walls and ceilings: $10-$20 saved per square meter.

Trim and doors: $50-$100 saved per door/window.

Feature walls: $200-$500+ saved, depending on the design brief.

Exterior painting is where it makes a real difference. A two-storey house could cost $10,000-$30,000+ professionally, but repainting youeself could save you $5,000-$15,000 or more.

Keep in mind, professional painters and decorators are highly experienced and knowledgable. The trade does not get the respect it deserves. The intimate understanding of substrates, materials, application methods, equipment and coatings systems is a career-long journey. If you're unsure of where to start, or the risks outweigh the benefits of doing it yourself - lean on a professional painter to get the job done. You do get what you pay for.

Our range of renovation equipment goes the distance - and it's a bit more straightforward than you think.

Paint sprayers: 4 x faster than rolling, 10 x faster than brushing. Get more paint on the surface, with minimal overspray, and save on time. Achieve flawless finishes without mastering the method of brush and rolling.

Prep gear: Achieve a smooth surface, 99.98% dust free with our dustless sanders, ensuring your paint has the best chances of longevity.

Masking: Clean lines and protection against overspray mean fewer mistakes.

I'm glad you asked!

We have the holy trio of painting tools, that the GO team would never go without for a renovation or repaint:

• Airless Paint Sprayer
• Dustless Sanding Kit
• Masking Paper & Film Dispenser + the Essentials

These tools are worth every cent (I know we are biased), but will return an immediate return on investment.

Sanding 99.98% dust free for your surfaces prioritises your health, and the finish quality of your surfaces. The range of airless paint sprayers allow you to apply a thick coating of paint, with speed and ease, to a huge range of surfaces. And the masking lineup of painters tapes, paper and plastic allows for razor clean lines, and to protect your surfaces from overspray.

There's a reason why professional Painters and Decorators invest heavily in equipment. So if you want pro DIY results, take note!

Dust-free sanding? It's a total game-changer, especially if you've ever been choked out by a cloud of dust while sanding. It's a sanding system that uses abrasives (sandpaper), with a special backing that has tons of tiny holes. These holes allow dust to be sucked through the abrasive by a vacuum (extractor), through a hose, and away from your workpiec - keeping the air clear and your lungs happy.  

One of the leading brands in dust-free sanding is Mirka, and their Abranet abrasives are top-notch. They use a technology with a net structure that provides amazing dust extraction. This means you get a cleaner work environment, a healthier sanding experience, and a smoother finish on your project.    

Dust-free sanding speeds up your workflow. The sanders are professional designed finishing tools, allowing you to sand back surfaces to provide the best profile for painting by brush, roller or airless spray. As prep is 90% of the process, the investment far outweighs having to try and achieve such a finish by hand, whilst fighting dust.

You never truly know what surface you are sanding. The risks of sanding lead-based paint, asbestos or producing silica dust are life threatening. Dust-free sanding is a risk free, faster and better way to sand your project, and is worth the investment tenfold.

Airless paint spraying is a super-efficient way to paint, and it's becoming increasingly popular with DIYers and renovators! It uses a pump to force paint through a small nozzle at high pressure, creating a fine spray that covers surfaces quickly and evenly.  

Graco is a leading brand in airless paint spraying, and their Magnum and TrueCoat ranges are perfect for renovators. The Magnum range is ideal for tackling those medium to bigger projects around the home, while the TrueCoat range is perfect for smaller jobs, furniture and touch-ups. 

You might be wondering how airless spraying differs from cheaper, handheld alternatives that you'd see in hardware or paint stores. HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) and turbine sprayers use air to atomise the paint, which can create overspray and result in a thinner finish.

Airless spraying, on the other hand, uses pressure to atomise the paint, which means less overspray and a thicker, more even coat.  

Here are some of the massive advantages of airless spraying:

Speed: Airless sprayers can cover large areas much faster than traditional methods like brushing or rolling.  

Efficiency: Less overspray means less wasted paint and a cleaner work environment.  

Even Coverage: Airless sprayers provide a smooth, consistent finish, even on textured surfaces.  

Versatility: Airless sprayers can be used with a variety of paints and stains, giving you more options for your projects.  

So, if you're looking for a faster, more efficient, and versatile way to paint, consider making the switch to airless spraying with Graco's Magnum or TrueCoat range. You'll be amazed at the results!
