I was told that Jotun, Nippon & ICI are same range but in terms of pricing, Jotun is the most expensive, then ICI, then Nippon.

I got quoted for as follows:-
Jotun strax - 5L at RM82, Sealer 20L at RM178
ICI Pentalite - classic and easy clean - 5L at RM76, Sealer at RM140 (forgot 18L or 20L)
Nippon easy wash range - 18L at RM225, Sealer at RM140 (not sure 18 or 20L)

Prices are after discount also. Anybody found cheaper paint elsewhere?

Meaning, I should choose the color first, then go to different shops to check pricing right? I actually love the antibacterial paint but damn expensive

understand now. Thanks bro.

Bro, is aluminium frame paintable? Let's say with spray or brush, boleh ke? if yes, what type of paint should use and what's the best method?

Hi Mordenkainen007
Undercoat mean either sealer OR primer is it?
Plaster ceiling also have to use undercoat?
Painting process for old walls same?
Paint door & grill need undercoat or not?

Hi mordenkainen007

I was told that I can use ici maxilite as undercoat on wall.
Can I use the same for ceiling & plaster ceiling? If can, I must paint with pentalite or can just leave it like that meaning maxilite is the finishing paint.

Grill - I did not use undercoat so the paint is not even on the grill. Do I sand it and repaint with undercoat before the color paint?

I saw Nippon got sealer & primer 2 in 1, can this be use on everything like ceiling, wall, grill & door?

Can I use undercoat from Nippon and then paint with ici? Mix brand can or not?

[COLOR=blue]1) Do you mean something like pentalite instead of maxilite? Can use it on ceiling as well as wall? The existing old wall is dark color and I want to paint light color

2) Metal primer in black or red? I will have trouble covering it with light color then. Agree on the sanding part. Not all old paint is removable. So surface is not smooth like new. Not sure if I should try paint remover.

3) Nippon - Prime & Coat 2-in-1 seems like can use on everything. Wonder if I should just buy this one and apply on ceiling. wall, doors and grill before I put final paint.

BTW, what paint do you use? Nippon or ICI?

1) so summary, ceiling - paint maxilite first, then pentalite (white). Wall - paint maxilite first, then pentalite (pink)

2) grill & door - will try apply dulux speed undercoat dulu, then apply the paint i bought that day. If this fail.... maybe use paint remover. Hope don't have to do this.

3) Ok.

Thank you very much, Ozak!

2) no need dulux undercoat lah. Can get those cheaper primer will do the job. Want easy job, just apply another layer paint.

If don't use undercoat, takut the dark color timbul, or have to paint many layer. Don't mind getting cheaper paint but I don't know what other paint are nice and reliable. Just hope I don't have to repaint for many years coz painting is not easiest job for me

Added on December 6, 2011, 9:42 pmozak, I was recommended to paint sealer instead of undercoat on grill & door (bought sealer from federal paint). Then baru paint the glossy finishing. It works!
