Paint Fees

  • This is the “standard” paint option. If your production required a standard looking white seamless, this is all that is required.

  • This is a refresh of the entire cyc, including floor, transition and walls. This would be the option if you need a pristine white cyc head to toe. If you need to do extreme wides this may be required.

    It is understood that your production will scuff the floor and possibly the transition, but if the activities during your production scuff higher up on the cyc wall, you may be required to pay this paint fee.

  • This is the paint fee to paint the entire cyc chroma green or blue, or any other bright to mid colour. This includes a return to white.

  • This is the paint fee to paint the entire cyc black or another dark colour that would be difficult to return to white. This includes a return to white.
