Faux Finishing, Decorative Painting and Venetian Plasters in Portland, Oregon from A Fresh Coat Painting
We have even restored a number of old faux finishes. It requires a good bit of process and art to find a match good enough to touch up a faux finish, but it can be done.
Repair of a 20 year old faux finish in the historic Portland police building.
Our customer, a partner in a great Portland law firm, had one of the walls in his office devastated by water damage. He was afraid he'd seen the last of his beautifully faux finished wall and would have to live with one wall different or repaint everything. We took pieces of the wall back to the studio with us and recreated technique, color, and style to match the original finish. Once we had re-engineered the old finish, applying it seemed easy.
Most of the work was in reverse engineering the 20 year old faux finish. We worked with colors, techniques and layering until we found a good match.
Once we knew the technique and colors the application only took a few hours.
The final result is a faux finish that most people would not easily distinguish from the existing 20 year old faux. Robert was ecstatic to see his wall return to life.
