I kena tipu.my plaster ceiling for whole house cost rm12500 and contractor now say it does not come with painting..want to charge more..downlight holes confirm he will cut..now confirm electrician will cut and cost rm5/hole..first class pusing pusing..
I decided to get 2 Bangla workers to do it myself...don't want to give painting to that pusing man..
Just want to confirm...
I paint first layer with Jotun J0tatsealer 07 for primer
then paint with Jotaplast (emulsion)...
The emulsion paint is cheap 18L for rm62...but the sealer is rm170 so can I just paint 2 coats of emulsion paint i.e Jotaplast?

QUOTE(ccheng0085 @ Apr 19 2011, 11:22 PM) according to the paint seller that I met weeks ago, he said using emulsion paint will have problems in time. The very common problem is dropping down of paint dusk (not visible by naked eye, but can feel it when u walking around) . You will feel your floor dusty even though you sweep the floor daily. For me this situation is not comfy, and the biggest problem is it will be harmful to our health since we are breathing in the tiny dusk daily. Advisable to use premium paint for the ceiling, RM220 for 18L nippon vinilex. Cheers. The sealer I bought only cost RM110 for 20L.  But most houses are painted with emulsion paint when delivered by developer..I think he wants you to buy premium-lah.. |

QUOTE(ccheng0085 @ Apr 19 2011, 11:59 PM) For sure he want me to buy premium because he can earn more...  You are right that developer will 99% use emulsion paint when deliver the house to you, they want earn more what.... The fact that the problem do exist, because the condo that I'm renting now and previously is all like that. The seller just give us more options, I don't mind paying more to get better result and better living.  My contractor want to charge to paint the whole house for rm9000..say he will now include paint the ceiling for me..I want to kill him..CB guy..I cant even trust him to do the current work..trouble is he is doing the current work damn slow...(70% complete, already collected 90%)as he wants me to give painting and then whole house tiling to him...even challenge me to find a better sifu than him...what an ego.. Seriously, anyone want to take up his challenge..please let me know..  Whole house - just paint white only..the house is about 3500 sq feet..I want to know how to terminate him...anyone done before? |
