hello all. Want to ask noob stuff. My apartment has just been completed, vacant unit as usual. Basic white painting that comes from developer.

Developer used white cheap paint (Jotun Jotaplast Max). I planned to do another white paint over it (with Nippon Paint Easy Wash) once cabinet installations are done.

My questions:
1. I can just paint with Easy Wash paint on top of the Jotaplast Max, right?

2. After doing the Easy Wash paint and let it dry, do i need to use a sealer? E.g. Nippon Paint Vinilex 5200 interior Wall Sealer.

1. Yes can. I did mine this way

2. I did sealer for mine after getting key. No issue so far. Almost 3 years already.

For the sealer. I can use it after all painting done right? As the top coat. Not so sure on this cos never used.

Sealer is the first layer on bare cement plaster as the "innerwear" layer. It won't be suitable for going out, so need to wear "clothes" which is the top coat paint.

So as for your question, don't be a superman (wearing innerwear on top of clothes)  laugh.gif

Lol thanks for explaining. So which option i need to do to have good result, since the house already come pre-painted with Jotaplast Max?

a) Jotaplast -> sealer -> easy wash paint ?
b) Jotaplast -> easy wash paint (skip sealer, primer, etc)?

Sealer is not needed if you wall paint is still at good condition (No water mark, no bubbles, not chalky, etc...). If there are holes you would have to patch up with skim coat, then apply sealer before painting.

If developer punya paint chalky a bit how? When i swipe with finger, can see white on my finger.

Wipe with dry cotton cloth can? Before re-painting.

Hi, I was quoted RM2,300 for painting whole unit (~1200sf), ceiling, 5doors and grille. Labor only not including material. May I ask is this price reasonable nowadays?
If not, any recommendation for painter?

Thank in advance for your reply smile.gif

I think that price is quite standard.

Which is why i'm opting to paint house myself, although noob about it.

Almost done painting my house, with still a lot of leftover paint in the bucket. How long can it last? Few months? 1 year?
