I plan to DIY painting my new home also.
May i know what types of paint i need for 1) Interior wall 2) Plaster ceiling 3) Grill & gate 4) Exterior wall (those anti-heat?) For interior, i prefer those paints that water resistant so i can use water to clean in the future, and if possible odorless also Advisable all paint with 2-3 layers? Any other materials/tools that i need so can make the finishing better? Thanks  This post has been edited by harrychoo: Dec 7 2009, 02:52 AM |

QUOTE(trdcelica @ Dec 10 2009, 10:41 PM) Interior wall-all premium paint that i mention below can be cleaned.. Thanks for ur advise all also quite odourless but KCC's products have some kind of fragrance smell..not smelly odour.. Shiny Pearl paint: Jotun's Majestic Pearl Silk Sissons Silk Glo KCC Korevon Silk Dulux Pearl Glo Matt finish paint: Jotun Strax Matt Sissons Super Siscolux KCC Korevon Ezy Clean Dulux Pentalite 2. Normally, for plaster ceiling, a normal emulsion paint will do..below are some of the brands that I'd recommend Pacific NewLite(a very new brand..and if you trust me, try to look for this brand..as far as I'm concern, it is as good as Maxilite although all the emulsion paint are almost the same.. Dulux Maxilite Jotun Jotaplast KCC Koreton plus Sissons Masonry Emulsion paint Nippon Matex 3. Grill & Gate - Jotun Gardex, KCC Koramel, Dulux Gloss Finish, Sissons Tungolac 4. Exterior - Jotun Jotashield 5 years - Jotun Jotashield Extreme 8 years(2x heat-reflection) Advisably, apply a coat of sealer and 2 coats of top coat/finishing coat but mostly people will apply one coating of sealer and one coating of top coat.. Use sprayer for best results but you'll need to have one..  1) For interior wall, may i know what is the difference between Shiny Pearl and Matt finish? 2) For plaster ceiling do i need to apply a layer of sealer (or is it primer? whats the difference) as well? 3) Grill & gate, any 1st coating that u recommend for anti rusting if my steel is not galvanised? 4) Same need to apply sealer/primer layer as well? 5) Do I need to peel off my current paint 1st (i think dusty surface) before i apply sealer/primer? 6) How much roughly is the sprayer? |
