Yup, gone after 2nd layer. Got panicked haha

Hi guys, this is my current wall paint colour, can I direct paint with Dulux new divine white 2 coats? Will it cover nicely?

Since the original color is not dark shade, then is no issue. Worst case, give it a 3rd coat

Any ideas best place to buy paint at good pricing in klang valley?

Will you all recommend MR PAINT SHOP?

Plan to buy for the whole house

hi all sifus here, i wonder how to cover my subsale wall' color, the previous owner kinda affectionate person, thats' give me headache

we prefer milky white series till lite mint, now kena stuck at how to cover this flamingo pink

i hope here got some sifus answer me, pls~

Try using a water power jet spray to remove the paint. If not possible, then ...

Paint few coats of maxilite. Buy the big tub, 18 litres. Wait for each coat to dry b4 the next coat. Once you are satisfied, then paint the milky white series.

I wont recommend using sealer as it will be expensive. And is oil based, so the drying process will be slow after each coat ... overnite.

what is cheapest brand outdoor wall paint? need paint rental house

Maxilite, Jotun, Nippon etc. Price diff few ringgit.

maxilite is indoor. I meant outdoor (acrylic paint) - anything much cheaper than brand name weathershield/weatherbond etc ?

Maxilite can also be used for outdoor. Is economical.

Dont expect other normal wall paint to last longer than special formulated outdoor paint. Is called weathershield for a reason.

Any cheaper normal wall paint can also be used for exterior but are not able to withstand harsh weather condition.

For me, is either economical or weathershield. In between is a waste of money.

Wow how many months maxilite last outdoors when you use? Before algae, mould or peel off?

Depends on wall preparation b4 painting.

Surrounding area also play a role which causes algae and mould. If maxilite is painted indoor, there is no algae except for fading.

Same for other normal paints too.

Peeling off is because of wall condition. A hairline cracked wall allow water to penetrate and causes paint to peel off. Painting during wet days also affect finishes.

Painting looks simple but if one wants a long lasting paint job, skilll and experienced is expensive. Not forgetting the quality of paint.

Good Morning,

I understand the need to save costs but I don't think it is a good choice to suggest to use interior emulsion paint for outdoor purposes unless it is shaded under a roof with very little or no contact to rain sprays..

Instead of choosing the bigger brands, you can consider using Sissons Paints *hint*hint*, Smart Paint, Colourland, San Cora, etc... (I hate to recommend my competitors but these is a thread calling for help)

Some of these brands may not be readily available but I would say these brands a quite well covered nationwide..

Good luck..

If you already get my hint, I would try my level best to answer all your questions..

finally， im so gald to got somebody answering me, over the moon now~
its a subsale house, it already occupied with some former owner furniture inside( i means sofa already in the living room, guess water jet is habis no choice liao)
will consider sealer as first choice, we got 3 months time for it to dry

afraid layering of maxlite will come off if too many layers, i think maxlite need at least 4 layers bha to finally cover the pink, not mention that i got another intense purple wall in the room

For that colour, 1 coat of sealer is not enough. Also need at leat 2 to 3 coats.

Sealer is expensive but if you have the budget and time, go ahead.

I've a medium light coloured room. At first I use sealer, 2 coats cannot cover, in the end use maxilite in another room, 1 coat already fully covered, like magic. After that I use another better paint layer on top.

omg, now im in between sealer and maxlite, i tot expensive one would offer better function
what is the better paint layer you mentioned? may i 38 a bit

listen to your suggestion, i choose the cheaper version to modify (tight on budget if need more sealer coating)

I use dulux easy clean (or any along this line as long not cat kapur, can ask shop to recommend too) after maxilite.

Maxilite texture is thicker, sealer/easy clean is very thin. Both paint feels different also when u run your hands on the wall, maxilite have a very smooth paper feel, sealer/easy clean have a rougher surface.

If house is for rent then I think maxilite would suffice.
