oh btw I'm in East Malaysia... price sure

if we buy the paint our self, what is the normal charges for labour to paint the interior and exterior ? lets said 20 x 65 double story ?? if we wanted each room to be different color the labour cost still the same right cox we are the 1 supplying the paint ? cox 1 of my contractor said different color he wan charge more ? puzzle

That what most painter will tell you that they will charge more if each room to be different colour. They will have to wash their paint brush each time they shift from one room's colour to another colour. Just slightly more work.
Of course, if the whole house's walls are of the same colour, they would be able to finish their work faster; which equates to money for them

no wonder la if DIY paint my self dunno would it turn out to be a nightmare ? hahaha since i never paint before lol what is the average labour cost to paint the interior and exterior of 20 x 65 ft house ? with let say 2 different color for interior and 1 color for whole exterior ?

Are you a DIY person? Are you fussy on the outcome? If you have never done any house painting before, this could be daunting task to be undertaken by one person alone. Not forgetting having to paint the 1st floor exterior

Depends on your expectation, there are many different type of painters. Some can quote you cheap and their workmanship
There are some painter who may charge slightly more, but their workmanship is quote good. They will take care of the floor, door knobs, etc
The amount of work will also depend on the present condition of your walls. paint quality and surface....

So, why don't you ask for quotations just for painting labour alone?

Previously, I have used at least 7 different colours just for the interior walls alone. Different colours for each bedroom, living and dining. Overall the paint cost is more as you will end up with so much of paint leftover at the end of the day. After that, there is another problem of having to store the leftover paint. You may need them for touch ups later....

you got any contact to share for the labour painting only ? ya that is what i think of also therefore i narrow it to exterior 1 type color (brown) Interior 3 type color, Kitchen (not sure yet maybe light orange or any suggestion color that could increase appetite ), room (light blue) the rest white.

any suggestion on the color i selected ?

Most painter will be able to quote you for labour only. Some house owners are lazy/ don't have the time to buy the paint themselves, thus getting the painter to include the paint.

If you don't mind the quality of the painting, you could always ask your wet work contractor to get his workers to paint for you. But then you should not expect too much la....

I think i will check-out your reco painter first... if can afford i shall go with it if not i have to accept the fate lol

I was being charge 3k for a condo (interior) painting, using nippon... seem expensive.

how big is your condo ? inclusive the paint ?

1100sf, yes, include the paint - roughly 7 different colors

kelvin, since u also knew orange increase appetite, juz stick on orange, its a very nice colour... use some striking orange matching with very very light orange... but normally striking orange,red,yellow are more expensive... anything can drop by to ask me... =P

hi Vincent, i need some experts advise.




i would like to paint my plaster ceiling with sky blue color Nippon paint. What type should i choose ??

another 1 things is my wall is now skim coat ? should i choose 3in1 or satin glo ???

then what type should choose for my undercoat for ceiling and wall ??

Please advise .

I tried Murobond for the exterior colour seems nice. They have very good earthy beige colour range.

For interior, as I want a fairly whitish paint, I went for ICI Pentalite Easy Clean instead - Lily white

Initially, we thought of using Nippon Paint. But my contractor eventually advised otherwise as based on their previous experience, the quality of the paint seems not very consistent.

i used colorland and jotun.....
colorland is cheaper but the quality is comparable...

How is the Murobond? Are these product from Australia?

im kinda interested in using murobond paint as well for my interior..mainly for my living room...but apparently if u get one of their appointed painters to do the work, its expensive...anyone can give an estimation price?

ur plaster ceiling can use vinilex easywash, if ur wall skim coat dy then can use both, 3-in-1 is actually use to cover hairline cracks... for the undercoat, use sealer, any brand also can, as long u got put...
