Did u guy apply primer or sealer before u paint ? Izit necessary ?


sealer is for oudoor only...

primer not necesarily for indoor.. but you need few layers so it`ll look evenly

6. Sprayer..I'm not sure about it but you don't need a sprayer to paint your house..just use some good quality rollers and brushes...sprayers are for those professional painters who get a lot of jobs..
The sprayer alone might costs more than the paint for your whole house if i'm not mistaken..

sprayer are mostly for metal works... where even surface without traces of brush is needed and fast...

for wall, even the pros use rollers.....

yeah, but i still see some of the 'SKL' painters use sprayer to paint wherever they want...This only applies to those SKL painters aka some pro or pro wannabe..
*
actually, pro or not pro, the main ingredient in painting is patience... you need to do it slowly and wait one layer to dry then paint another.....

I ask my myanmar worker to paint the wall.. teach him how to and the effect is the same as the "pros"

thing is difference if you are painting shallac for woods.. which need kung fu tongue.gif

memang pun..painting more or less also requires a bit of skills and shellac isn't something easy to paint..

Actually, shellac also not as hard as protective coating's paint..Take epoxy as an example, you'll need to paint very fast and must be ngam ngam finish on time..If not, prepare your paint to be thrown away..And once, I've a hardware customer who ordered around 10-15 sets of 4+1L Epoxy paint..and I don't know how clever she was..She went and mixed the hardener with the 4L epoxy for her customer and the next day her customer went to collect the paint..Then went back to his place, opened up the cans and what was inside was something like dried gum, totally dried up...How clever she was that I couldn't find a word to describe her..And the thing was she didn't even bother to ask how long will the epoxy dries up when mixed with the hardener...

guys i have a nippon booklet with me now, got few questions:

1. Matt, Low Sheen or Mid Sheen is nicest for interior?
2. Any of u familiar with nippon range? im thinking of below combination..
Feature wall - either Matt Odourless Wood Box (3012T) or Mid Sheen Satin Glo Light Taupe (730)
The rest of walls for whole house except ceiling use either Matt Odourless Reserved White (OW23 1P), Odourless Eggshell (OW19 2P), or Odourless Quilter's Thread (4031P).

Anyway familiar with Nippon? Can give some opinion?

Matt Odourless - RM135
Mid Sheen Satin Glo - RM100

odourless 5litre RCP is RM 180.00 you can push the dealer down to as low as Rm 140

odourless white price is cheaper...

but I would not recommend odourless as it is only to unodour the smell.. which normal paint need to unodour few weeks...

so, you pay more for the time save... not long term effect

Eh, bro..Satin Glo 100 bucks ah? W/Bond also cheaper than that wor in Ipoh..
satin glo RCP is RM 136.00 for 5 litres.... price can go as low las RM 110.... or maybe lower...

weatherbond cost about RM 390.00 for 20 litres....

P/S I reserve some percent of profit for dealer.... and the price that I quote that is lowest are sometime deemed as project price...

Hm, the reason i choose Odourless is not because of its Odourless, but due to its color only available in Odourless range..

yeap... to be frank, it is also quite hard to clean it...

when back home with my hand dirty, my wife scold me and ask me to wash.. take me ages to clean it with shampoo doh.gif

Spotless is RM105/tong, they mix for me. Ready stock is cheaper but color less choice.

do you know that dealer yield less margin for ready stock compared to machine mixed?

pardon me, are you saying that ICI Dulux Pearl Glo or Jotun Majestic Pearl Silk do not have features that you mentioned above?
I do not hope to offend you but those features that you mentioned can easily be found in any premium paint.

it is an range to range comparison in Nippon paint which you asked smile.gif

Just to share... I work in O&G industry, here they use Jotun for painting ship and offshore platform. If Jotun passed the stringent requirements set by these people, then it must be one high quality paint.
*
hah.......... Jotun approached goben for their projects....

quality wise, not so convincing...

you should check Nippon Protective Coatings for offshore use....

which is more heavy duty than Jotun one

I've read thru all the posts but there's a lot that I still don't understand so I hope you expert painters can enlighten me.  Can you help answer some questions? 

1.  I previously painted my walls using Maxilite (white) abt 3 yrs ago and I now noticed certain parts of the walls has turned yellowish.  Is it due to the paint quality? Can you pls recommend a brand that will not cause this problem?  I want something which is long lasting so that I don't have to repaint my apt for at least the next 5 years (preferably longer  brows.gif ).  Also, how many cans do I need? My apt is 800 sqft (3 bedrooms).


there are lots of series and range of paints... for nippon, you have matex(basic), Qlite, odourless, etc etc

QUOTE
2.  A couple of spots on my wall looks damp to me cos no matter how I paint it, the area turns yellow within days.  How do I solve this problem?


got picture?

QUOTE
3.  I noticed some cracks in certain areas of my apt.  Some are hair thin line but some are slightly bigger (ie. wall edge - chipped).  Should I be very concerned? How do I mend these cracks myself?
these cracks could me fixed with filla

QUOTE
4.  Can you please recommend the type of paint for grill.  What can I do for anti-rust cos I don't want to repaint the entire grills again next time.
this should be the correct coating
1) try nippon protective coatings- red oxide primer heavy duty
2) wrought iron black matt if you wan typical wrought iron effect
3) gloss surfaqce paint
4) clear c/w hardener (if you want glossier)

QUOTE
5.  How about paint for normal wooden door?   The current original door is showing black spots already, which I don't understand cos this is indoor, and half the time my windows are closed.  

what do you use? i mean paing

QUOTE
6.  How long can I keep unused paint? I still have some that I used 5 years ago. 
I hope that you guys can advise me cos I'm thinking of doing this myself, unless I am able to find somebody to paint for me with reasonable fees.  Tq.
*
depends.... mostly can use... if it still haven hardens.. u can liquidfy it with thinner

mostly people misunderstood

sealer contain rubber characteristics... it is mostly applier for outdoor wall... so that water wont penetrate in.....

for in door, sealer could be used... but not so cost effective.... mostly use cheap matt paint for indoor wall as foundation after seal the cracks with putty filla

then only followed by colour of your choice
