What does DMG Painting & Decorating do?
DMG Painting & Decorating is an Adelaide painting and decorating business run by Damien Michael. It paints homes and commercial buildings across Adelaide, inside and out, and has done for more than 17 years.
The work covers interior and exterior painting, wallpaper, plaster and cornice repair, feature walls, fences, awnings and shopfronts. Projects run from a single bedroom to blocks of flats, schools, churches and factories.
It is a small team on purpose. The person who quotes the job is on the job, the preparation is done properly because that is where a finish is won or lost, and the site is left clean every day.
Four services, one standard of finish
Pick the one that fits, or ask. Wallpaper, plastering and the odd fence are all in the same hands.
- Interior painting Walls, ceilings, doors, trims and feature walls, with the preparation done properly first so the finish holds.
- Exterior painting Render, brick, weatherboard, eaves, fascias, fences and verandahs, prepared and coated to stand up to Adelaide summers.
- Residential painting From one bedroom to the whole house inside and out, painted around your routine and left tidy each day.
- Commercial painting Offices, shops, strata blocks, schools, churches, warehouses and factories, scheduled around your hours with a fast written quote.
- Wallpaper hanging
- Plaster and cornice repair
- Feature walls
- Fences and gates
- Awnings and shopfronts
- Brick face and render
- Verandahs and fretwork
- Pre-sale refreshes
Preparation is most of the difference
The same rendered facade, before and after a wash, scrape, fill, prime and two coats of exterior acrylic. Drag the handle.
How does a DMG job run?
Five steps, every job, whether it is one ceiling or a whole block of flats.

Quote
Damien visits, looks at every surface, talks colours and finishes, and sends a written quote with scope, products, and start and finish dates. Free, no obligation.
-
Prep
The part you are paying for. Furniture covered, floors sheeted, edges masked. Walls washed, filled, sanded and dusted. Outside, everything is scraped back to a sound edge.
-
Prime and cut in
Bare patches and repairs are primed so the topcoat sits evenly. Every edge, corner and ceiling line is cut in by brush before a roller touches the wall.
-
Two coats
Rolled on with a wet edge so there are no lap marks, left to dry properly, then a second full coat. Two coats is the standard, not an extra.

Walkthrough
You walk the job with Damien in daylight. Anything you spot is touched up on the spot. Tape comes off, sheets come up, and the site is left clean.
Which paint finish should you choose?
Sheen is how much light a paint reflects. More sheen is tougher and easier to wipe, less sheen hides more. Slide to compare, and DMG will specify the right one per surface in your quote.
- Flat
- Ceilings. Hides every roller mark and imperfection, cannot be wiped.
- Matt
- Bedrooms and living rooms in good condition. Soft, modern, light-absorbing.
- Low sheen
- The everyday choice for interior walls. Forgives minor imperfections and wipes clean.
- Satin
- Kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and hallways. Washable and hard-wearing.
- Semi-gloss
- Doors, architraves, skirting and window frames. Tough, easy to clean, shows the surface underneath.
- Gloss
- Front doors, heritage trims and metalwork. Maximum durability and shine, needs perfect preparation.

We used DMG painting to do some interior painting in our house. Damien and his offsider were excellent. They quoted a good price, the service was reliable and Damien gave us some really good advice about which paints to use. They cleaned up after themselves and were very respectful throughout the whole process. The paint job was outstanding as well and we were very impressed with the finished product. We will definitely be contacting DMG for our next paint job.

Would highly recommend Damien and his team. The quality of his work is second to none and his communication was excellent. We had DMG paint the interior of our home and couldn’t be happier with the finished result. You can’t go past DMG if you are looking for a quality painter.
