Anyone can recommend best satin finish paint for interior?

Dulux, skk or Kansai or others.

Usually use Dulux. Their paint if compare to skk or kansai is better. Or jotun or nippon also ok.

ICI, Kansai, Jotun and Nippon all about the same.
SKK a tad lower grade.

Now that you mention, when i was calculating the area to repaint, i recall those shaded area (further inside the car porch), the paint is perfect. Only those exposed (to sun and rain), have this problem. The paint used was Nippon Weatherbond, I am thinking the possibility of paint quality as well because less than 3 years already have this issue. Am considering to switch to Jotun Jotashield.

Tomorrow will try brushing it off and see if it comes off.

Thanks for the advice!

If the surface prep is good + with sealer, it will last long time. If there is still chalky fui sui, it doesn't let anything bond well to it, even the best paints.

If you guys have a jet spray i would recommend spraying the wall to clear of the old paint as much as you can until you see the bare plaster wall. This is only done on the outside, where rain and shine will 100% hit and exposed. Nippon or any other brand doesnt matter, as long as you buy Weathershield. I usually use Dulux/ICI paints. So far good.

Tried brushing off but doesn't help much, can see white powder / dust in the air, but the wall still looks white. Used jet spray (130 bar) also cannot remove the white stuff.

Will just jet spray the walls, paint a sealer, and repaint again. Hope this time it will last. I didn't use a sealer previously.

Need a higher bar maybe, im using 160 bar heavy duty jet spray. Because without that it sure wont come off and the job may look nice after finish, but it will wear out faster than advertised. Also use the same weathershield sealer and weathershield paint brand. I used to use Nippon sealer and ICI paint. hahaa. Not that it doesnt work, but better la, and buying all the same brands is easier also. I usually stick with Dulux/ICI.

Step 1: Jet spray and patch holes after. Make sure holes are nicely patched and no unevenness.
Step 2: Apply 1 coat of weathershield sealer, dont mix with water as stated on the paint pail, unless you have left it in the sun and it feels hard to paint then add just a little bit of water. Like less than 500ml.
Step 3: Apply 1 coat of weathershield paint first, wait for drying, dont need to paint 100% also nevermind. After 1 coat is done, if the weather is hot, paint a 2nd coat. Finish coats you need minimum 2 coats. Dont paint 1 coat, it will look ugly.

Sure it will last roughly about 5 years now, but also make sure you spray nicely la. XD Or else effort all gone. hahaha.. xD

Didn't realize jet spray plays a significant role. Definitely will spend more effort on this. Thanks!

No problem bro. Most of all is take your time and dont rush. smile.gif DIY works usually you can take your own sweet time to finish it. So plan ahead and finish it when you are satisfied. Now rainy season also so need to get ready for rain sometimes. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
