Approved Porters Paints gilded-finish applicator

Trained in Novacolor Italian finishes

The approach

An extra touch of quality — and a fine finish.

MIM Limited was established in 2012 by Hayden Wilson, a painter with 20 years' experience earned in London, South Africa and with one of Auckland's leading painting companies. He has built MIM into a team of six — the preferred contractor for clients who want more than a coat of paint.

That standard was recognised by the Master Painters Association at its 2020 awards: the first time MIM submitted, it took Gold Awards for all three entries — residential interior, exterior character rework, and the commercial section for Porters speciality coatings. We work solely with proven paint brands, and every job carries a five-year guarantee on workmanship and products through our Master Painters membership.

What Auckland says.

Our 100-year-old villa has been transformed inside and out thanks to Hayden and his team. If you're looking for detailed prep, excellent product knowledge and a top-level finish, I recommend you speak to Hayden. We are delighted with the result.

Hayden and his team are a pleasure to have onsite. Their work is completed in full, on time and to a high standard. Very polite and clean — our tenants have asked for them to return for new jobs.
