Looking to upgrade your bedroom without the hassle and cost of buying a new wardrobe? Good news – your existing wardrobe can be professionally spray painted to look brand new. At J&D Sprayers & Makeovers, we specialise in furniture spraying across Scotland, helping you refresh tired surfaces quickly and affordably.

Can You Spray Paint a Wardrobe?

Absolutely. Whether it’s a fitted wardrobe or a freestanding unit, spray painting is a highly effective way to breathe new life into worn or outdated furniture. Over time, wardrobes can lose their original colour, suffer from scuffs and scratches, or simply fall out of fashion. Rather than replacing them, spraying offers a smart, cost-effective alternative.

We use high-performance paints specially formulated for wood and MDF surfaces. These coatings are not only water-resistant but also provide a smooth, flawless finish far superior to brush painting.

What Is Fitted Wardrobe Spraying?

Wardrobe spraying is the process of applying a professional spray paint finish to the exterior and/or interior surfaces of a wardrobe. The paint bonds evenly across the surface, creating a sleek, factory-style finish in the colour and sheen of your choice.

Before spraying, we:

• Clean and degrease the surface
• Repair any cracks or imperfections with specialist filler
• Sand the surfaces to ensure paint adhesion
• Apply a professional primer
• Finish with multiple coats of durable topcoat

The entire process typically takes just one to two days depending on the size and condition of the wardrobe.

Benefits of Spray Painting Your Wardrobe

Spraying your wardrobe offers several practical and aesthetic benefits:

• Cost-Effective: A fraction of the cost of buying new furniture
• Fast Turnaround: Completed in days, not weeks
• Durable Finish: Water-resistant and long-lasting
• Custom Colour Options: From classic neutrals to bold modern tones
• Eco-Friendly: Avoids waste by upcycling existing furniture

Wardrobes made from natural wood or MDF are ideal candidates for spraying, as they absorb paint effectively and result in a beautiful, even finish.

How to Spray a Wardrobe – The Professional Way

Here’s a simplified version of how we approach the spraying process:

• Prepare the Area – Protect walls, floors, and surrounding furniture
• Disassemble Where Needed – Remove doors and hardware for even coverage
• Clean & Sand – Ensure the surface is smooth and dust-free
• Repair Damage – Fill in any dents, scratches, or holes
• Prime the Surface – For optimal paint adhesion
• Apply Spray Paint – Typically two coats for lasting coverage
• Reassemble & Inspect – Final checks before reinstalling

While DIY kits exist, we recommend hiring professionals for the best results. At J&D Sprayers & Makeovers, we have the tools, experience, and environment (including a dust-free spray booth) to guarantee a factory-quality finish.
