Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a mural cost in Cape Town?

Every wall is different, so we quote each project on its own terms. Cost depends on scale, surface, design complexity, access and timeline. Send photos, rough dimensions and a sense of what you want to achieve, and we will return an honest, itemised quote.

Do you paint exterior murals and building façades?

Yes — large-scale exterior murals and building façades, from single walls to multi-storey work, such as our eight-storey Radisson Red façade in the V&A Waterfront. We handle access, scaffolding and weather-grade materials.

What do you need from me to quote a mural?

The location, photos of the wall, rough dimensions, your deadline, and a short description of what you want to achieve. Artwork or brand references help.

Do you only do hand-painted work?

Yes. Every mural is painted by hand — no vinyl, no print, no shortcuts. For hand-painted signage and lettering, see Cape Town Signwriting.

Which areas do you work in?

Cape Town and the Winelands, nationally in Johannesburg and Durban, and internationally across Dubai, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

How long does a mural take?

It depends on scale and detail. A feature wall might take a few days; a multi-storey façade or a full hotel programme runs into weeks. We give you a clear timeline in the quote and work to it.

What surfaces can you paint on?

Painted plaster, brick, concrete, timber, tile, glass and steel — interior and exterior. We assess and prepare every surface before painting.

How long will a hand-painted mural last?

A well-prepared, properly sealed mural lasts for years — interior work indefinitely, exterior work for many seasons depending on exposure. We use hard-wearing, light-fast materials and can advise on protective coatings and the occasional refresh.
