Yes, as my house last painted was 20+yrs ago, don't know what paint series since it was not me who did it.

Enjoy painting!

If more than 20 years old the paint may fail upon rolling on new paint.
Then u need to resort to sanding off the old paint.

Question:
one of my parent house interior wall was “cincai” painted with matex due to the par paint was peeling and flaking. About 2meter l x1meter h was painted.

the rest was par, 20years didnt repaint, had some crack here and there but no flaking nor chalky.
And the just applied matex for 6 mths+, start to feel chalky when touch.

which sealer do i need to use if i dont want to sand it off, cause they have so many thing in the house.

Where is the wall located ? Next to open area facing rain and sun ?

the wall paint seem new, i guess it painted not more than 6 years bha,
havent buy the sand paper yet, just busy buang all unwanted barang first, just make preparation to make sure after reno can straight paint liao~
the walls are like this, uneven surface, felt firm when touching the wall , no paint or debris came out, the flamingo red paint is so strong


closer look


shoot from far

sanding can do bha for these wall?

nice to hear, found the wall painting geng with same experience

walao 2009 thread revived

oops forgot to ask you something, your previous 20+ years wall , before you cat right, do you sand off or scrape off the paint ler?

Generally, people dont do it if another paint colour can cover it.

Sanding is not only dusty, more work and costly but if dont do another skim coat, then possible to see fine lines after painting if sanding is poorly done.

Yes the one with window, facing rain n sun most

Most likely there is water seeping through the wall. The wet dry effects that causes the paint to flake.

Treat the outside wall with sealer and weatherbond paint, then only redo the inside wall.

Outside were treated with weatherbond 1 year piror.
Seems like no sealer from contractor.

Sometime, weatherbond paint is not enough to protect the wall. Sealer and skim coating are additional measures.

Possible could be from the edges of the window ? If yes, then put sealant around the edges to see if it helps.

Sometimes, worn out rubber lining on windows can cause water to enter the house.

I think the water came thru the window, they saw some tiktok bs and add petrol in woodpaint. Saw some dent from damp on the window.

If your current window frame is wood, I suggest you change to aluminium.

Unless you intend sell soon, then use sealant.

im not lazy but selective to participate , so this means i can do new paint w/o sanding off, wahhhh, the best thing i heard today
so so so tight on budget, now this is the less costly option la

agree! aluminium window frame cost at first but save penny later and save you lot of work
