Our story
A Melbourne painting studio built on craft.
Lion Painters began with a simple belief: a paint finish should feel as considered as the furniture in the room. Fifteen years and more than 850 projects later, that belief still guides every brushstroke.

We are deliberately small. Daniel still visits every site, and the crew who prepare your walls are the same people who apply the final coat. There is no handover to a subcontractor and no volume target to meet — only the standard we set for ourselves.
Our work spans heritage terraces in Fitzroy, family homes in Kew, bayside facades in Brighton and boutique commercial spaces in Cremorne. The scale changes; the care does not.
“A great paint job is 80% preparation and 20% paint. The other 100% is respecting the home you’re working in.”
What guides us
Three standards,
never compromised.
Our values are practical, not decorative. They shape how we quote, how we protect your home and how we decide when a wall is truly finished.
Craft first
Hand-cut lines, sanded surfaces and the right product for every substrate. We take the time the finish deserves.
Clear communication
A fixed quote, a written schedule and a direct line to the person running your project. No silence, no surprises.
Genuine care
Drop sheets, dust control and a clean site every evening. Your home is treated with the respect it deserves.
Meet the lions
