hi all,

I got quoted for dulux pentalite paint by my reno contractor, but they had used maxilite plus instead. Is the quality and price different a lot for the two variants?

I got my 18L maxilite (white colour) around RM60++.
Pentapower, I think RM100+/- for 5L.

thanks.. that is big a price difference

Dulux is priced a premium because of its quality. It last longer than maxilite as I have used them before. If you plan to repaint every few years, can just use a normal brand. But if you want to keep it long, then use Dulux or Nippon. Avoid other brands.

Hi guys.. wanna ask if anyone tried textured paint before? Is it hard to paint ownself?

Hi im currently renovating my house and yea im totally 0 experience on painting. My contractor doesn't include painting service , so i need to find myself..

Do ah sang cover Port Klang?

May i know what brands are consider normal brand? The price range be like??

Hi guys.. any idea qhere i can buy dulux paint at a good price around klang valley ?

Very big difference in price and quality!

Pentalite is decent/quite good paint. Maxilite, people use it for house or parts that just want something cheap (like store room?), don't care about quality.

Sometimes you will see the hardware shop showing Nippon or Jotun banner but just go inside and ask if they have Dulux. Maybe Dulux Malaysia didn't sponsor them signboards .

Setia Alam got 2 shops selling. Price varies by color and series so very hard to say they are charging cheaper or not. Satin Glo (satin finish) is significantly more expensive than Pentalite and Easycare (both matte).

I remember I bought mine Easycare and Pentalite (Jan18) 5 litre around RM90-100, 15litre around RM250-RM260. Try to buy the big quantity at one go or buy a few times within few days, so the boss remembers you and will be more willing to give discount. That's what I did.

hi need help here from sifu,
any paint that can stick on glass with weatherproof or UV/heat function?
i want to totally block the sky glass on top due to heat and sunlight.
tq sir

guys can i use
Nippon Vinilex 5400 Wall Sealer + Jotun Majestic True Beauty Matt

Does different brand works well together?

I don’t see why not

I suggest go auto shop and buy auto tint instead.
Light go in but minimal heat.

If you don’t want light.... will need a few coats of paint on the indoor side. Normal water based paint will do.

Hi all, any good and recommended place to buy paint in Kota Kemuning? Jotun preferably? Can expand further away from the aforementioned place as well..like Shah Alam, Subang, etc. Thanks.
