The course covers the complete finishing process, from preparation and sanding through to equipment setup, spraying techniques, drying, quality control and basic maintenance.

Improve Your Joinery Finishing With Professional Spray Training

Bringing spraying into your own business can give you greater control over quality, production schedules and finishing costs.

You will work with airless, HVLP and heated hose spray equipment and learn how preparation, product choice, machine setup and application technique all affect the final finish.

For companies with specific requirements, we can also provide bespoke training within your own workshop or workplace.
