Marcel Painting — Taupō, New Zealand
Every surface. By design.
Ultra-high-end painting and decorating for architecture that deserves it — trusted with Huka Lodge and Queensland's most expensive private home.
Est. 1989
Marcel has been on the tools since. Trade qualified and licensed.
Prestige
Estates, lodges and private residences worth tens of millions — including Queensland's most expensive home.
NZ + AU
Two countries, one family, and a single standard of finish.
The standard
raking light — light thrown across a surface at a low angle, where every ripple and shadow shows. It is how a finish gets judged, and how Marcel checks one before anyone packs up.
Why Marcel Painting
Why the hardest jobs come to us.
Anyone can quote a job. Very few crews can hold a line across a whole house, work around guests and weather, and hand back a finish that still reads perfectly in ten years.
Preparation over everything
Filling, sanding, sealing, masking. It is the part nobody talks about and the only part that decides how a finish ages.
Ultra-luxury expertise
A proven record on multi-million dollar estates, including Queensland's most expensive private home.
Commercial & hospitality trust
The team behind Huka Lodge, plus multi-home developments for major builders like G.J. Gardner Homes.
Flown in, on request
Private clients have brought Marcel from Australia to New Zealand specifically for their projects.
Product knowledge that shows
Deep knowledge of paint systems, product selection and how a substrate behaves — knowing which coating still looks right in ten years, not ten months.
Family-run, start to finish
Marcel, Gemma, Baden and Kory. The people who quote the job are the people on site.
Selected work
Trusted with the difficult ones.
Seven projects across two countries. Open any one to see it properly.
Behind the finish
The part nobody photographs.
Most of a paint job happens long before the first topcoat. It is slow, unglamorous work — and it is the reason a finish still looks right years later.

What clients say
In their words.
Marcel is, by far, the best painter who has worked with us. Together we have worked on many prestige projects, costing tens of millions of dollars. He is very knowledgeable about paint products, has great creative input, and a strong commitment to his clients and meeting deadlines.
The lodge looks fantastic due to your hard work — you guys did an amazing job, and you are wonderful people to work with. We loved the way you dovetailed in with us and dodged around the winter weather without complaint.
We were so impressed with the high standard of Marcel's work, we flew him in from Aussie to do some further work for us. We thoroughly recommend Marcel for the highest standard of painting work.
Marcel and Gemma's work was outstanding. Their knowledge and understanding of the correct painting systems was appreciated by us and our clients, and they continued to be an integral part of our business.
Marcel works to a very high standard of competency, carrying out the tasks asked of him and leaving the area clean and tidy. His manner is always respectful and a pleasure to have around.
