Just a block or two away from the Plaça Glòries Catalanes, you walk in through a door wide enough to accommodate a truck. That's because these guys specialize in industrial, nautical, and home decor painting. (Example: The Dalí museum in Figueres uses their exterior paint.)

He helped us navigate color choices (there were LOTS more than we'd expected), quantities (we're used to gallons of paint for walls measured in square feet, not kilograms of paint for walls in square meters) and even a few tricks of the trade for ensuring our DIY paint job came out professionally. Even their prices were very reasonable. We'll be back when we're ready to paint the next two rooms in our flat! read more
