Two Italian craftsmen. One clear conviction. A decade delivering Melbourne's finest painting.
Ital Paint was founded by Flavio and Riccardo: painters by trade since their teenage years in Italy, who came to Melbourne in 2015 and decided to build something different. Not just a better painting company, but a service worthy of the homes they work in.
Flavio and Riccardo grew up in Italy where painting wasn't just a trade, it was a discipline, passed down through workshops and apprenticeships where preparation mattered as much as the finish, and cutting corners simply wasn't an option.
In 2015, they made the move to Melbourne. Working across the city with different companies, they found the same thing almost everywhere: homes deserving of exceptional work, but receiving something that fell well short. The gap between what they knew was possible and what they saw being delivered was too wide to ignore.
We didn't come here to do what everyone else was doing. We came here to do it properly.

2015
Flavio and Riccardo arrive from Italy, bringing 15 years of European craft with them. They begin working across Melbourne's inner suburbs.
2017
Ital Paint is established. First projects in Toorak and Hawthorn set the tone; word spreads quickly through the streets they work in.
2019
Specialisation in heritage restoration work begins. Sensitivity to period detail and original materials becomes a defining capability.
2022
Flooring services launched: epoxy, timber restoration, and premium coatings ,offering clients a seamless finish across every surface.
2025
Over 500 projects completed across Melbourne's finest suburbs. Still the same two founders, still the same standard on every single job.
Every decision we make, from the paints we specify to the way we manage a project, comes back to the same set of convictions. They haven't changed since the first day we opened.
The visible result is only as good as what happens beneath the surface. Filling, sanding, priming, and sealing receive the same attention as the final coat.
We specify premium paints, Dulux, Porter's, Farrow & Ball, chosen for the specific environment and result required. Never a compromise on product quality.
We quote accurately, explain our process, and communicate any changes immediately. No surprises at the end. No excuses mid-project.
The visible result is only as good as what happens beneath the surface. Filling, sanding, priming, and sealing receive the same attention as the final coat.
Every project is backed by a comprehensive workmanship guarantee. If something isn't right, we return and fix it — without question.
The majority of our work comes through referrals and returning clients. That's not an accident — it's the result of treating every project as if our reputation depends on it, because it does.
01
We visit your home, understand your brief, assess the scope, and discuss finishes, colours, and any specific requirements. No charge, no obligation.
02
A clear, itemised quote within 48 hours. No vague estimates — you'll know exactly what's included, what products we'll use, and the timeline.
03
Surfaces are cleaned, filled, sanded, and primed to specification. This phase takes as long as it needs to — rushed preparation is the most common cause of a short-lived finish.
04
Premium coatings applied by hand or airless spray depending on the surface and finish required. Multiple coats with the correct drying time between each.
05
A walk-through with you before we consider the job complete. Touch-ups addressed on the spot. Your home left immaculate — and backed by our guarantee.
