i see then thats fine. reasonable. if u can afford use better paint. did u ask how much your paint cost? how much is the workmanship? each item how much then i can tell u, did the contractor over charging u on paint material.

QUOTE(~Battousai~ @ Jun 20 2013, 08:51 PM) what is your budget? if u want cheap, good and popular. i recommend for interior vinilex easy wash and satin glo. exterior weatherbond. for nippon depends on color. there is no fix price for it. interior should be less than rm100 and exterior will be more than rm100. where do u live? |

Hi,
Do you know how many pails of paint (1 pail =? litre) I need for painting 350sqft - interior? I am planning to get Nippon Odourless - white paint. Anybody knows how much is that? RM100? I am in Klang Valley, btw. My current contractor is quoting interior painting for RM3200 (paint included- for a paint job that is less than 400sqft) I think he is overcharging me. Any opinion about this? Thanks! |
