 The Garage-to-Interior Disconnect

In Doha, the boundary between the garage and the living space is vanishing. For the collector in West Bay or The Pearl, the vehicle is not merely transport; it is art. You wait months—sometimes years—for a "Paint to Sample" (PTS) allocation, ensuring your GT is finished in the exact shade of Viola Hong Kong or British Racing Green.

Yet, a jarring disconnect often occurs the moment you step out of the garage and into the entertainment suite. There, amidst the glass walls looking onto your collection, stands a pool table finished in a generic, traditional brown wood stain. It is an aesthetic failure. If you curate your fleet, you must curate your furniture.

The Science of Color Matching

We have adopted the "PTS" philosophy. We do not offer a standard color wheel. Instead, we ask for your code.

Whether you desire the deep metallic flake of Ferrari’s Rosso Corsa, the flat, aggressive tone of Porsche’s Chalk (Kreide), or the pearlescent depth of McLaren Orange, we source the exact factory formulas. This is not an approximation. This is a precise molecular match, ensuring that your billiard table serves as a seamless extension of your automotive passion.

This capability is particularly vital for clients designing "Showroom Majlises"—spaces where the game table sits directly adjacent to the vehicles. The visual continuity between the fender of the car and the rail of the table must be absolute.

Automotive Grade Finishing

A color match is useless if the texture is wrong. A pool table painted with house paint looks like a toy. A pool table finished like a supercar looks like a machine.

We do not use standard furniture lacquers for these commissions. We utilize a multi-stage automotive finishing process:

  • Preparation: The hardwood or composite base is sanded to 3000-grit smoothness, creating a glass-like substrate.
  • Base Coat: The pigment is applied in a dust-free spray booth, identical to those used in high-end auto body shops.
  • Clear Coat: Multiple layers of high-solids automotive clear coat are applied to provide depth, UV protection, and that signature "wet look" gloss.
  • Cut & Buff: The final stage involves wet-sanding and polishing the surface to remove even the microscopic "orange peel" texture, resulting in a mirror finish that rivals the bonnet of your vehicle.

 Commissioning Your Spec

Your game room should not be an afterthought. It should be as highly specified as your chassis. Whether you want to match the Giallo Midas of your Lamborghini or contrast it with a matte stealth black to match your wheels, the choice is yours.

We invite our clients in Qatar to provide us with their vehicle's VIN or paint code during the consultation phase. We will handle the rest.
