We’ve just wrapped up a truly unique project — painting Christchurch’s newest escape room at Serve Social!This was a dream job for our team, giving us the chance to get highly creative and push the boundaries of what's possible with paint. The theme? An old, abandoned psychiatric hospital — and we were tasked with bringing that eerie, atmospheric vision to life.To achieve this, we used Porter’s Paints’ special effects range: A two-tone French wash on the walls Crackle finish on the wooden trims A striking copper and patina green effect on the doorsHuge thanks to Logan and the team at Serve Social for trusting us with this project. We’re proud of the result and excited for more collaborations ahead.
