Hi,

Need some opinion.

My paint contractor recommend Nippon Paint to me.

A) Exterior

1) Sealer (Water Base) - 20 litres (RM175)
2) Weatherbond

B) Interior
1) Satin Glo - 5 litres for 1 room, 2 litres for 1 big wall


Added on February 12, 2012, 9:42 pmAfter chat with my friends today - they recommend me Jotun.

Anyone can help me to recommend the good paint?

ICI and Nippon paints are widely used brands. Their QC should be reliable.
Jotun is also a established foreign company with a much smaller market, quality is OK too.

Satin Glo paint, the egg-shell finish - points to consider:
I wouldn't recommend this if the workmanship of the wall plastering is not good. Any uneveness of the surface becomes more obvious due to the 'shiny' finish.
Also, touching up of certain spots of the paintwork is a problem as the paint does not match if you do it a second round. You have to re-paint the whole wall.

Safer and much cheaper to use matt emulsion finish.
