David Passmore Painting
Elevating Spaces with Artistry and Expertise.
Founded in 2012, David Passmore Painting (DP/P) has become a cornerstone of design-led projects in Melbourne, where skilled paint application plays a crucial role in enhancing architectural beauty. David, influenced by a rich creative heritage in New Zealand—his uncle being the renowned artist Tony Fomison and his parents fostering a love for art—has channeled his diverse experiences into his craft.
Before establishing DP/P, David navigated various creative paths, including a BA in English and working on Alexander McQueen’s garden in London. His transition into the painting industry began while assisting a friend in launching Victoria’s first registered green painting business, where he recognized the vital role paint plays in architecture. Partnering with accomplished interior designer Carmel Ludica has further enriched his perspective, allowing him to integrate design insights into every project.
Today, DP/P stands out with a core team of five Deluxe Accredited professionals, proud members of the Porters Paints Guild and preferred applicators for Porter’s Paints in Fitzroy. Known for its textured and specialty finishes, DP/P has forged strong relationships with architects and interior designers, consistently delivering exceptional quality across new builds, renovations, and commercial spaces.
David's commitment to personalised service is unwavering. “I wanted to build personal connections with clients,” he says, leveraging insights from Carmel to provide tailored advice on colours and finishes. As a preferred painter for Porter’s Paints, DP/P engages with their full range of premium products, ensuring the highest standards of workmanship.
Looking ahead, David aims to focus on specialty finishes like French wash and lime wash while continuing to uphold the quality and service that define his brand. “Our goal is to elevate every space we touch,” he concludes, embodying the fusion of creativity and craftsmanship that makes David Passmore Painting a standout in the industry.
