After using nippon matex, is that a need to use other VInilex? Or Matex is like Sealer? Or perhaps could explain what the proper for Plaster ceiling (new house / new plaster ceiling)?

Prefer ici

Hi,

Wanna ask, I'm repainting my condo approx 1300sf - walls, doors, grills and plaster ceiling.
The existing wall paint is fairly new - no peeling, do i need to ask contractor to remove old paint layer?

Plaster ceiling - just Vinilex 1 coat will do?
Thanks

Paintman ok to use. Just depends on ur expectation. What u pay is what u get.


Antimould & antifungus is just another marketing gimmick. Most important is the throughly clean the wall from stains, dusts, oil,etc BEFORE painting.

Actually warranty is the most important no matter how branded or quality of the paint u plan to buy.

Anyone here beside me have tried Murobond paints before?

Noticed no one has mentioned them, i find that they have a wide variety of paints in colour shades different to your normal ICI / Nippon.

Only thing is their paints are a tad expensive as they are focused more to developers than end users in Malaysia.

where is ICI?

Dulux is ICI. Anyway, I think TOA is comparable to first grade paint.

I'm using a mix of Nippon (mostly), Sisson (Ceiling) and TOA (door paint)

for Nippon, I've used Matex gold for all interior, some Momento wallpaper paint and Weatherbond Advance for exterior.

I always recommend Jotun. Can have any colors I want instead of off-the-shelf colors. Good paint as well. After 4 years they still look like new. And no smell after painting. Just using Jotun Strax which is a matt paint.

Proper spec for ceiling emulsion paint is 1 coat sealer + 2 coats emulsion paint.

If no peeling, no need to remove. Can just do some minor surface preparation like light sanding.

Jotun is overrated

I will say Jotun, ICI and Nippon all are in par.

Is it recommended to use a cheaper paint brand for new walls? I've read somewhere new walls take 1 year to fully dry. So regardless how good quality the paint, it will still not last. I'm thinking of getting MCI paints for my exterior to save cost. And then maybe repaint with better paint after 3 years like that.

Take a year to fully dry a wall?
Normally i wouldn't take that long la. The time to dry up depend on condition, a normal internal plastered wall take a bout 2 weeks to dry till a paint-able condition. External wall which subject to rain, or a water tank wall might take slightly longer to dry up.
In fact, as long as the moisture content is lower than 14%, it is good to go with painting.
Whether the wall dry or not, i still recommend you put a proper paint with proper system.

P/S: The moisture content of a wall can be measured by a Protimeter.
