Hi guys, my rented house now look like shit. Thinking of repaint it as i will be moving in for own stay.

Can i use Matex white colour to paint the whole house first and then use Jotun Strax to paint on the colours?

Matex is the cheap one. RM60+ for big tong, 18 liters i think.

Yeah, should not paint Matex then Strax. It's either you use sealer before painting Strax or straight away hantam Strax on your wall. Yeah. agree with kelvyn. make sure that your wall is not powdery/chalky.

guys, thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply.

As i had to repaint my ceilling, i hantam matex first... 3 coats on all .. then only paint a few feature wall with strax...

the shop keeper also told me not to do it... but...


the wall was previously painted with matex also... so i do not see a difference if i paint on strax straight away or after new coats of matex...

anyway.. i did 2 coats of strax...

so far so good... hopefully all will be alright. smile.gif
