hi all sifus here, i wonder how to cover my subsale wall' color, the previous owner kinda affectionate person, thats' give me headache

we prefer milky white series till lite mint, now kena stuck at how to cover this flamingo pink

i hope here got some sifus answer me, pls~

finally， im so gald to got somebody answering me, over the moon now~
its a subsale house, it already occupied with some former owner furniture inside( i means sofa already in the living room, guess water jet is habis no choice liao)
will consider sealer as first choice, we got 3 months time for it to dry

afraid layering of maxlite will come off if too many layers, i think maxlite need at least 4 layers bha to finally cover the pink, not mention that i got another intense purple wall in the room

omg, now im in between sealer and maxlite, i tot expensive one would offer better function
what is the better paint layer you mentioned? may i 38 a bit

listen to your suggestion, i choose the cheaper version to modify (tight on budget if need more sealer coating)

its not for rental, we gonna stck with it for a couples of ten years will consider it , thanks for info yo! dulu my parents cat own rumah i never survey the paint, now i know nothing,haha

btw, misloading here, i thought you said you "recommend" omg, my eyes ,
later settle the legal step after get the house key baru i ask some related paint question here, i thinks everyone helps a lot here!

just wanna know, maxilite also suitable regardless of latex paint or pearl painted wall， i finallyt got the house key, but im clueless cannot know what the old paint the ex-owner used?

the wall paint seem new, i guess it painted not more than 6 years bha,
havent buy the sand paper yet, just busy buang all unwanted barang first, just make preparation to make sure after reno can straight paint liao~
the walls are like this, uneven surface, felt firm when touching the wall , no paint or debris came out, the flamingo red paint is so strong


closer look


shoot from far

sanding can do bha for these wall?

nice to hear, found the wall painting geng with same experience

oops forgot to ask you something, your previous 20+ years wall , before you cat right, do you sand off or scrape off the paint ler?

im not lazy but selective to participate , so this means i can do new paint w/o sanding off, wahhhh, the best thing i heard today
so so so tight on budget, now this is the less costly option la

agree! aluminium window frame cost at first but save penny later and save you lot of work

hai there, remember my flamingo pink wall? before i coat it with maxlite, do i need a primer ?or after maxlite baru apply primer?
im not sure repaint a wall need primer or not , now baru terpikir this issue

but im sure i know that after maxlite , i can put on my fav new color la! happy

and i back from the hardware store with nippon emulsion matex 82RM, (maxlite 84RM), i asked the price for maxlite but end up with tauke suggested nippon's regardless price,


i red a few post in this forum suggested stronger and durable paint can be painted on the exterior part of the house like jotun shield (jotashield) series, can anyone suggest interior paint regardless price
and color since the color tone quite similar and no big different in the price . (dulux /jotun/nippon)

these 3 brands so popular and no other brands come in my mind, even it do so , im not certain about its durability , l cant find mr paint in my area, but i saw seamaster brand, just not sure whether it is a good choice or not?


i prefer a "matt" finishing look

oh my budget~ but your neighbor's condition now how ah? peeling-off occur?
today after work gonna start paint 1 side of the living room, will show the after-progress picture here

price is more cheaper or more costly? never get to know this paint selaer...
how your wall now?

ok i know what i should go for
how you be able to take a pic? like right how one XD

alright, will take your sharing into consideration~thanks

here is my after-work progress, took us about an hour and a half to paint a layer of matex emulsion onto it, not sure it counted as a layer or a layer and a half, coz my bf keep rolling another layer to avoid naked-eyes color differences, today gonna apply another thin layer.

so tired climb up and down the ladder to fill the gap between ceiling and the wall...

according to the instruction of matex usage, i straightly wash the brushes and the roll after used, it is correct , isnt it?
