and 2 tong of pentalite (20 liter)

if need to patch the walls..

buy ready to use filler..
3 or 4 sandpaper..medium grade..

8 tin of 5 litre can..

if one color only..

Hi, im painting contractor...

my advice if u want good quality works and long lasting result you got to spend more..

If you spent little, the painter will rush the painting job and will get undesirable result and messy..


sometimes the painter will skip the painting process and cheating here and there..

Painting process..


1) Prep - make the surface smooth and ready to paint... (waterjet or clean the fungus, patch up cracks and holes, scrape old paint flakes, skim coating)
if many flakes come out and rusty - paint remover and sand paper will do and it will cost you.. )

2) Undercoat - with 1 coat of sealer/primer...(new ceilings and walls must put undercoat)

3) Finishing touch - with 2 or (3 coat if neceesary) of finishing paints..


For people with tight budget cheaper emulsion paint will do like Matex gold (5litre RM 60) or q lac from nippon. it can last many years if done with undercoat...Some people go for cheaper paint bcoz they want to change colors few years later..so its up to u..

For exterior get the weatherbond/weathershield/jotashield or something similar. use undercoat..undercoat..undercoat...never use interior paint or cheap emulsion paint...



If you got time opt to buy the paint yourself and ask the contractor to quote for labour.. Nowadays many shop can send the paint to your house so you wont get the trouble to load it to your car and unload it..

if you need my services,

U can find me here on my blog...zekpainter.blogspot.com



HAPPY PAINTING

1) same also but sealer/primer is a undercoat but undercoat is not necessarily a sealer or primer..any paint u put b4 finishing coat is an undercoat... Nowadays nippon have a new type of paint called undercoat/sealer .

undercoat - works to hide old paint colour so that u have more easier to paint the finishing coat.. (x perlu tebal2)
sealer/primer - works to bind new paint on to old paint like glue..

2) yes.new ceiling.. its better than not..

3) ya .same

4) door and grill also need undercoat especially if the old paint is not suitable to receive new paint..make sure to sand and wipe clean it b4 painting..
