my con quote me 3k for painting whole house internal + external + inclusive doors and grills
2k for skim coat all internal wall...

reasonable or not for this 2 item price???

hi, does anyone know of any shops that provide colour consultation advise if i buy all the paint from them?

My contractor has included workmanship in the renovation charges, so i only need advise in choosing colours and getting the paint.

I see. thanks.

Do you have the number of the shop? It's very near from my house.

Hi there,

Im planning to paint my Double story hse with jotun paint. From what i search, im going for the midrange majestic true beauty series. Now I hope the sifus can help me with these:

1. What is the diff between the majestic true beauty sheen and true beauty matt in terms of look. Is true beauty sheen really very glossy compared to the matt finish?

2. My contactor says going for matt finish is safer since the sheen series is not good if the wall finish is not good. Any opinion on this?

3. Anyone got knowledge of good pricing for the true beauty series(sheen and matt). So far the best price i got  are for several colours are:

true beauty sheen 5L = apprx rm128 - rm136
true beauty sheen 18L = apprx rm310 - rm330

So far i didnt get price for matt series. If anyone knw place to get good price for jotun true beauty pls let me knw. Thx.

Hi all...

Does anyone knows why this happens?

The paint is peeling off.

Indoor.

Original colour was white when I purchased this house. The paint-man had the wall skimmed first and then they paint the primer (Jotun Easyclean). After that they paint it over using Jotun Majestic True Beauty twice. The problem seems to only appear in this guest room.

Could the skimming be the culprit? Because after skimming they just wait for a few hours before painting the wall rather than a few days.

I think we can exclude the lousy quality and wrong paint type used.

Hope this helps.

Where to buy paint with reasonable price at PJ?
