Anyone know where can i buy Kansai paint?

Hi,

Me know nothing about painting and want to ask. My house already got old paint, i think those cheap white paint

1. Need to repaint but paint what or which 1 first? primer, sealer or straight to paint i want?
2. Which paint brand value for money? All i know is ICI brand cos use them beforeon my old house, until now no problem but heard now very expensive. want to save some $$$ if there is no difference.

will be moving into a rented house soon, some of the interior walls are not too desirable aka dirty, plan to repaint it but have limited budget

can anyone suggest what i should get? i think will just paint it white

my contractor suggest use Nippon Easy wash for interior wall. is this good paint type to use?

what are other comparable brand?

is it mid range or low range in term of price?
aiming for matte finish

landlord super stingy, so i decided to paint myself

what is a affordable brand/model? i just need to repaint the interior wall with white, safe for children is a must

tqvm sifus

Hi.. any place to recommend to buy paint around puchong?.. thinking of jotun paints.. and here many seems to recommend to go Mr.paintman?

Thank you ozak, I remember reading here you have a special price in on of the shops in puchong but only applicable to you. Lol. Is this the shop? I will check out this shop today bro.. thanks again.

I went to Seah Paint shop. There was 2 aunties manning it. Unfortunately, the moment I mentioned Jotun, they 'sound' me, we do not sell Jotun, only ICI and Nippon, did you see the Jotun Sign on our boards outside. I apologized and left.

I then went down to Mr. Paint Shop. Met a serious looking young guy(mr.lee) who turned out to be very patient and professional. I generally told him to recommend me a paint, and he asked me back which one do I prefer and he can talk about it. I mentioned Jotun and he started to talk about it. First he divided my category, high end/mid(majestic-total beauty)/low end(strax), depending on my budget. My interest was on mid range.

I then gave me my size and he was patient in calculating, proposing and talking about it. I told I wanted to do it on my own, and he was very patient explaining to a noob like me. I was impressed. I wanted to use Nippon Momento on one of the concept walls, and he asked me how was my 'skill'. He then advised me to try San Cora: Italia Due even I am aiming for a 1 liter tin.

Price wise:
1 lt Jotun Majestic - Total beauty - Matte - rm100
3 lt Jotun Majestic - Total beauty - Matte - rm238

He strongly advised me to apply undercoat, even the condo has an initial layer, tip was, undercoats can be thinned up to 90% (1:10), so I need to get a 20L undercoat about ~ rm170.

I wanted to repaint the ceiling with Strax
1lt Jotun Strax - rm85
15lt Jotun Strax - rm185

San Cora: Italia Due - 1Lt - rm148
Momento was around rm110 (not sure)

Best part, I told him, I am going to survey and come back. He assured me his price was the best and asked me to check it out. He even told me, see you soon as I was leaving. The feeling is quite nice to visit this kind of shops with professional people.

Anyway, I am going to check out other Jotun Shops today to see how true is this guy. I mean, i did read in this thread about mr.paint shop damansara being awesome too. I guess the Puchong one also is quite awesome.

I will update the price if i find another cheaper place.. also ill open a thread on my DIY paint project(hopefully it will be a success)

its ok bro..

undercoat, according to him, its for the grip of the new paint over the older surface. He used the word "gam".
I am having this issue with my current house, at times, i will see flakes of paint that drop from the ceiling or the wall, i think long term undercoat plays a role.

hi, could we paint the sealer twice on the same wall?
because the wall had paint first with the sealer half year ago(new house), but some maintenance on the floor is still going on after that and made some dirt on the wall. In order to cover the dirt, could we use the sealer again to cover the dirt before final painting?
.

hi all .. another small question .. shud i mix the oil base paint thats from the tub wit something or can i just apply direct from the tub ???

Just use scrapper to scrap off the loose paint. It is not required to strip off the entire old paint to apply sealer.

The question is, is it necessary to remove the "good condition" old paint in order to repaint an existing wall?

Hi guys, the paint developer use to paint my house is Nippon Eco Matek. IS it advisable to repaint the whole house using better paint? Any paint recommened? Thanks.

Do you throw away left over paint? I don’t. I try to save some for touch ups later in the future. Problem is the old paint cans don’t seal well after a few times opening and closing the lid.
I found some plastic jerry cans with an air tight cap and cover. They come in a few sizes. I bought the 2 liter ones which I think is enough. These cost me RM6.25 each at Ace Hardware

ya agreed, should come in plastic canisters
