Shopfront respray guide for retailers and shopfitters

Shopfront spraying is often the fastest route to a brand-ready frontage when frames and doors are still true. This guide covers what to brief, what to protect, and how trading hours shape the programme.

What usually sits in scope

Aluminium or suitable UPVC frames, doors, stall risers, external trims and sometimes adjoining metalwork. Glazing stays; protection and masking are part of the method.

Brand colour without guesswork

Supply RAL or BS codes where you have them. If you only have a brand deck or an existing sample, say so — on-site colour matching is possible.

Trading hours and neighbours

Most high-street and parade work needs early or late windows, careful overspray control and clear boundaries with neighbouring tenants.

Shutters and fascias

Colour changes often fail visually if the shutter or fascia band is left on an old shade. Coordinate those surfaces in the same brief where possible.

Brief checklist

Photos of each elevation, shutter type, desired colour, possession dates, and any landlord or mall rules. That is enough for a useful first response.
