Overview
What to expect
Colour on a screen looks nothing like colour on a wall. The light in Orange is different from the light in Sydney. South-facing rooms stay cool and blue. North-facing rooms warm up everything you put on them. John has painted homes across the Central West for decades and has seen what works in Central West light and what falls flat. A quick conversation at the quoting stage saves hours of second-guessing at the paint counter.

- On-site colour advice during the quoting walk-through

How it works
The right colours for your home and light
Colour is personal, but it's also technical. We consider your architecture, natural light, existing finishes and the surrounding landscape to get it right.
Initial discussion
John visits your home and talks through what you like, what you want to change, and any fixed elements the palette needs to work with.
Palette development
We develop a shortlist of options, considering aspect, light conditions at different times of day, and neighbouring properties.
Large-format samples
Test patches painted directly on the wall or surface so you can see the colour in your actual light before committing.
Confirmed scheme
Final palette documented — every surface, every product, every finish. Then we get to work.

Reviews
What our clients say
We do not chase reviews. When clients take the time to leave one, it means something. Here is what they have to say.
Luke Hughes
I've used John and the team at Murrays Painting on several projects now and have always been very happy with their work. The quality is consistently high, they're punctual, reliable and communication is always great. As a builder, it's important to have trades you can trust, and I'd have no hesitation recommending Murrays Painting.
Belinda Scott
John and his team did an amazing job of a very complex project. Their quote was extremely reasonable compared to other quotes received. Their attention to detail throughout the project was impeccable. The work involved a total repaint, both externally and internally, of a very large timber double storey historic residence. The final magnificent result of their many months of labour are a reflection of their understanding and pride for their profession.
Annie Keledjian
