Find out moreAt Olympian, we offer two levels of paint finishes for our garden buildings. Our dedicated in-house painting team meticulously prepares and paints each building, ensuring an exceptional finish.
Both options are far superior to a standard paint finish and greatly enhance your building.
Barn Paint Process
This process involves applying two coats of Barn Paint, with the necessary time and temperature control between coats. Since the paint contains primer, no additional primer coat is needed. This method is perfect for workshops or those looking to protect and enhance their garden building without the cost of our Complete Paint Process. Barn Paint is a high-quality water-based acrylic paint that is extremely flexible and resistant to cracking and flaking.

Complete Paint Process
For the ultimate finish, our Complete Paint Process uses a meticulous 5-part system with Dulux Weathershield and Sikkens exterior paints. This ensures the exterior is thoroughly prepared and finished to the highest standard. Available for studios, summerhouses, and insulated buildings, we offer a carefully curated range of colours that best complement our garden buildings. You can select a single colour for your entire building or add an additional colour to highlight windows, doors, and trim, all at no extra cost.

The above colour chart is designed to provide an indication of the colours in the range: it shouldn’t be taken as an exact replication of colour. Please note, these are our Olympian own colour names, for actual colour codes and/or samples please contact the office.
If this range of colours are not suitable for your needs, we are able to match any colour of your choice (within the Dulux / RAL range), at an extra cost.
Complete Paint Process
All painted buildings are prepared and painted in house by our dedicated painting team. We use an extensive 5-part paint process to prepare the exterior for painting, ensuring your building has the highest finish.
Sanding
We fill and sand back any exposed nail holes with a 2-part filler to cover over unsightly indents in wood from fixing tools.
Knots
A knot blocker is applied to any knots in the wood to prevent bleeding.
Primer
We apply a blocking primer to prevent natural tannin stains from seeping through, to provide additional protection to the building and to increase paint durability.
Paint
We carefully apply 2 coats of Dulux Weathershield exterior opaque paint in the colour of your choice.
Touch-up
We touch-up any blemishes onsite during installation. Additional paint is supplied with the building on handover for any future touch-ups.
