workmanship i m not too sure about it. i suggest u not to use maxilite as your undercoat aka sealer. tell them u want a better sealer. pentalite is alright 1st grade quality paint.

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!

Bought my paints from Mr K at damansara uptown

U guys seriously werent kidding bout quality of services there. Went to the shop beside first and all the guy talk about was just price. No recommendations no nothing .bangla serve u. Will say go next door check price then come back here i give u better price

But owner of mr k. Wow give u recommendations if colour chosen will be too dark and not suitable. Tell u how many litres to choose to save on prices and if its worth it or not to use a higher range paint

Super super thumbs up for the service there. Really highly recommended
