Recently, I helped to paint an old low-cost flat for a friend. I used San Cora sealant for the Kitchen, Corridor and Bathroom because in those areas, the paint was peeling off - it was really bad. So, we scrapped whatever could be removed, wiped the walls, waited a week and painted the sealant paint.

My questions is - is it normal for sealant paint not to "even out"? as in, it's very noticeable the areas that are overlapped and the areas that are not.

I'm going to apply undercoat soon - most probably maxilite. Is it advisable to paint 2 coats of undercoat?

This sealer you use, also say primer function?
If the sealer also does primer already then you can just put top coat over it.
If the sealer never say primer, then just slap on matex or maxilite (personally prefer matex or KCC coverage) cheapo white paint then only do topcoat.

Uh since theres some leaks, wet area and oily area..
The kitchen one..maybe consider using gloss paint if very oily and unvented
Also if there is joss stick burning this also cause paint to deteriorate.
As for the bathroom.. make sure grout line in the tiles are good else it will still seep water. If the bathroom unventilated, try to put in a ventilation fan. Also consider outdoor paint if its unventilated and smells damp.

Thanks for the reply. The sealer paint I used just stated sealant (+ alkaline resistant). Yeah, plan to just get maxilite coz it's not my friend's home, he's just renting it. The last tenant was horrid, and owner is like do whatever you want and deduct from the rent. lol

Bathroom is ventilated. The main issue is the kitchen - hmm, I'll consider looking into gloss paint. It will be oily, I guess.
