My whole house using chi, super duper white. Another color you can consider is skylight, both very white, but i noticed chi is more cold, skylight is slightly more warm and milky`ish. Since my house is mostly white, black, wooden color, chi suits me better. If your house have more pastel color like my sister who is going to renovate her room, we agreed that skylight looks better for her room.

yesterday I went to JOTUN showroom.
they recommend chi, skylight and 0001 white

I still having dilemma which to choose.
might take 0001 based on the picture below

Hi all sifus, wish to check with you guys.

My original paint given by the developer is normal cheap maxilite.

I want my contractor to paint jotun majestic beauty matt
for me.
I personally go to the paint shop to buy the paint.
I pass to the contrctor and ask him to paint for me.
The contractor say don't need primer as maxilite can act as primer.
The contractor also say since got maxilite already, 2 layer is sufficient.
I personally saw the contrctor paint using my paint (jotun majestic), but after 2 layer, the paint came off easily. And my wall macam very easy will have scratches.

My wall is concrete wall.
What is the issues ya?
Why I use expensive paint, but the effect is so terrible?
My old house that uses normal nippon paint can last me 10yr without any scratches or weak parts.

Hi,
Did the painter clean (wipe down) the wall first before start painting?
Coz it can look "clean" to the eye but it can be dusty or powdery from other drilling, hacking work, especially if grinder was used.
Paint does not bond well to dust.

My POV is that for a great finish - more care is needed on the prep work (and using a new roller).
The actual application of the paint (the act of "using the roller/brush") is less important.

For emulsion paint, under-stirring can also contribute to the problem. As paint is a rojak of diff materials, the heavier ones tend to sink to the bottom.
Usually we use a small cordless drill and the nazi looking metal stirrer device (mrdiy got) to stir paint.

Oic... Thanks sis.

Any solution to rescue my wall? Because my wall with 3 layer of hajj majestic seem weak now.

What do I need to do to rescue my wall?

Need to repaint it with pruner and paint again?

Likely the wall was hacked there, and repatched but not sealed afterwards, merely paint over. Unsealed patch (Putty or joint compound or cement) absorb water differently from the "rest of wall" so that's what happened with those hacked patch, thats why it look diff.

Need to seal those patches before repaint.

Your problem solved with the photo as per reply above and use a darker paint color to cover the entire wall.

apply a layer of sealer or two, then paint over that patch with the same color, if your wall is just painted not long ago, the new color should still be able to blend in well

or you can try to paint the top coat at small area to see if after dry it will become the same finishing as the rest of the wall or not, if it does then just paint over the rest of the affected area

Thanks all sifus. I manage to solve the problem. after additing two layer of sealer, and repaint with my jotun majestic white 0001, the wall is perfect again.

Thanks guys.  icon_rolleyes.gif
