Hi.. any place to recommend to buy paint around puchong?.. thinking of jotun paints.. and here many seems to recommend to go Mr.paintman?

Thank you ozak, I remember reading here you have a special price in on of the shops in puchong but only applicable to you. Lol. Is this the shop? I will check out this shop today bro.. thanks again.

Ill try these two places,

1. Logam Seah opposite tesco.
2. Mr. Paint Shop beside IOI

I am planning to go with the best price/quality to paint. Aiming for Jotun family. Let see if they manage to talk me out of what i want and suggest a better option.

Ill come back and update the experience.

Thanks guys

I went to Seah Paint shop. There was 2 aunties manning it. Unfortunately, the moment I mentioned Jotun, they 'sound' me, we do not sell Jotun, only ICI and Nippon, did you see the Jotun Sign on our boards outside. I apologized and left.

I then went down to Mr. Paint Shop. Met a serious looking young guy(mr.lee) who turned out to be very patient and professional. I generally told him to recommend me a paint, and he asked me back which one do I prefer and he can talk about it. I mentioned Jotun and he started to talk about it. First he divided my category, high end/mid(majestic-total beauty)/low end(strax), depending on my budget. My interest was on mid range.

I then gave me my size and he was patient in calculating, proposing and talking about it. I told I wanted to do it on my own, and he was very patient explaining to a noob like me. I was impressed. I wanted to use Nippon Momento on one of the concept walls, and he asked me how was my 'skill'. He then advised me to try San Cora: Italia Due even I am aiming for a 1 liter tin.

Price wise:
1 lt Jotun Majestic - Total beauty - Matte - rm100
3 lt Jotun Majestic - Total beauty - Matte - rm238

He strongly advised me to apply undercoat, even the condo has an initial layer, tip was, undercoats can be thinned up to 90% (1:10), so I need to get a 20L undercoat about ~ rm170.

I wanted to repaint the ceiling with Strax
1lt Jotun Strax - rm85
15lt Jotun Strax - rm185

San Cora: Italia Due - 1Lt - rm148
Momento was around rm110 (not sure)

Best part, I told him, I am going to survey and come back. He assured me his price was the best and asked me to check it out. He even told me, see you soon as I was leaving. The feeling is quite nice to visit this kind of shops with professional people.

Anyway, I am going to check out other Jotun Shops today to see how true is this guy. I mean, i did read in this thread about mr.paint shop damansara being awesome too. I guess the Puchong one also is quite awesome.

I will update the price if i find another cheaper place.. also ill open a thread on my DIY paint project(hopefully it will be a success)

its ok bro..

undercoat, according to him, its for the grip of the new paint over the older surface. He used the word "gam".
I am having this issue with my current house, at times, i will see flakes of paint that drop from the ceiling or the wall, i think long term undercoat plays a role.
