The term “paint job” is fully acceptable not only in everyday conversation, but in advertising materials as well. The Hungarian term “tisztasági festés” has several equivalent English expressions. Oftentimes, several of these expressions are used in the same article or advertising brochure.

For example:

http://www.teresaparker.com/increase_home_value.asp

Painted (Dress up your porch & entrance: Adding plants, a freshly painted door, and a new door handle can make a great initial impression.)

Paint job (A paint job and maybe some new handles will give your cabinets a new lease on life.)

Paint and Paint Job in the same sentence (Paint the interior: A new paint job makes a world of difference.)

Repaint (You should repaint every four to six years.)

Example sentence(s):
  • A new paint job in the bathroom can spruce it up and brighten in the right ways.
  • Paint the interior: A new paint job makes a world of difference.
