Want to seek advice. I'd had leaking and termite issues previously which had damaged some of my internal paint. Its sorted now, and after a very long time finally decided to fix repaint walls and replace skirting to pvc.
Question, the leak had quite a damage as per pctures. It flake the paint and i had scrap whichever portion i managed to. Evwn the undercoat or sealer was also easily scrap out which leaves a thick layer between the ok portion and bad portion.
I will later try to sand the area between the ok and bad ones to leave as smooth as possible finish between those.
Question, to fill the gap between the ok part and bad part, what is best material? I experimented putty fill (liquid type) but its hard as it cant coat thick layer. Would a normal paste putty filler does the job or there are better options?
And assuming if i manage to fill with putty and sand it to level, would i need primer or sealer on the repair part? Iplan repaint the whole wall, would there be visible mark on the repaired portion?

Thanks for the advice. The cement to water portion use 1 cement :0.5 water ? In event i didnt do a good job on plastering the cement, can the cement be sanded via sanding machine probably with mid grit paper? Since i not very confident on my plastering skill with cement

Hi,

I am planning to paint the wall as per photo attached myself.

My understanding to properly paint the wall, I need to:

- clean the wall with high pressure water jet. I believe this can be replaced with mopping with cloth + warm water;

- apply a layer of primer/ sealer;

- apply two layer of paints. Wait for the first layer dry and only apply the second layer.

Anything in details which I need to pay attention to?

Possible can skip any steps as I don't wish to spend so much money buying the paints and the primer. It looks more works that I original thought.

Just do water proofing for my car porch roof and it is time for repair and paint my plaster ceiling.

Can get advice for experience user?

1. Jotun or Nippon? Nippon looks promising in their website

Did some research some said Jotun more tahan can last longer and Nippon normally 5 years tapao already .....

Tqvm

Just finished painting one of the wall. ( pic before and after)

The upper part of the wall was less than perfect...hmmm

I have wash the wall with warm water with a bit of dishwasher liquid and later spray the wall with water garden hose. Later, I applied one layer of sealer and two layer of white paint on the wall. Look like it was not good enough...

Look like i may need the stronger water spraying tool such as high pressure water jet which used by some of the contractor to clean the wall.

the lower part of wall I only coat with 1 layer of paint

upper part of the wall already coated with 2 layers...but still no as good as lower part of the wall.

Long way to go. Obviously need lots of paints if every wall need 3-4 layers.

anyway since some of you mentioned it, these are the paints and sealer that I used.

I didn’t add any thinner or water before painting. Any comment?

How long do you normally wait for cement render to dry before painting? After 3 weeks of rendering, my wall still got plenty of dark grey patches

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.

Is it recommended to use Jotashield Extreme for plaster ceiling? Will it help to reduce heat radiating down from the roof? Appreciate some advice.

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.

I am not sure where to ask this, this is the most relevant active topic I could think of asking this question.

My scenario goes like this, I have asked my contractor to remove the tile in my kitchen wall (5 feet from floor) and ask them to patch them accordingly (I guess by cement render). But then the over filled the area, making it not level with the remaining top section of the wall. My question is, can I sand down the cement render to make it level with the existing wall?

That's what I asked him to do. But he has been delaying my request on that wall and saying that his painter will do that last.

I am planning for the worst, to level them myself. Only sanding down the cement is what I could think off. Skim coating isn't something that I could master in few try.

I don't mind if it is 2-3mm off. But this is 10mm off. I guess that is "Malaysian Standard"

And yeah, the painter only smoothen the transition..

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

Want to ask, can see this cacat thing around induction cap and holes on the wall.

Before i re-paint this area, how should i fix it? Need to buy cement, or putty or anything else? Need guidance

For new condo, do I need to apply sealer or anything else before painting? Am thinking of Nippon Easy Wash for interior walls.

Also thinking of painting plaster ceiling myself, is painting Matex directly on it enough? Or they have to be primed/sealed first as well?

Oic... Thanks sis.

Any solution to rescue my wall? Because my wall with 3 layer of hajj majestic seem weak now.

What do I need to do to rescue my wall?

Need to repaint it with pruner and paint again?

Likely the wall was hacked there, and repatched but not sealed afterwards, merely paint over. Unsealed patch (Putty or joint compound or cement) absorb water differently from the "rest of wall" so that's what happened with those hacked patch, thats why it look diff.

Need to seal those patches before repaint.

Like this. 😔
