Hi, every sifu here

im currently choosing color for my new house, however , there are too many type & brand of paint in the market with different features.

the color i want is matt finish, as it more " popular" nowadays.

im shortlisted three different brands now, but i dont know which one give the best outcome in terms of appearance and long lasting color.

1. Jotun majestic Royal Matt

2. Nippon Vinilex easy wash

3. Dulux Easy Clean

any sifu here got experienced with the paint up there can give your opinions to me.

thansk you

It is all about the same. Just choose 1.

What is important is the wall base preparation before paint.

I tried both nippon easy wash and dulux easy clean.i will vote nippon. The paint is thicker.

Prefer Jotun. Color choice is unlimited. You can also choose from their palette of colors which is way more to trend then others
No smell too.

You won't be wrong the 3 brands.

Nippon easy clean is better choice

whats is the preparation i need take care of?

what is the preparation i need to take care of?

how about jotun texture is it better? i heard the guy at paint shop say majestic royal matt is one level above nippon easy washand dulux easy clean? is it true?

No idea. I used Jotun Strax previously but this time im gonna use Majestic Matt

Dulux

among the 3 brand (Jotun vs Nippon vs Dulux) which is more expensive?

In term of pricing, Dulux > Nippon, not too sure about Jotun. From what I heard(when I was deciding which paints for my own home), Nippon is widely marketed in Malaysia/SEA, but it is not the most sought after paint in Japan itself(not too sure why).

Dulux, the only advantage of Dulux compare to other brands is it is easier to scrap out. Like Dulux need 1 scrap while others need 2-3 scraps to remove.

Most countrymen don't use their own country brand
Like do Malaysians buy Proton?

Can I know whether Jotun Strax Easyclean you used previously is good? Thanks.

It's good.
But now I using Majestic Matt - if I use a damp cloth to wipe, I can see patches from an angle. Front view ok

Does that mean Majestic Matt is not as good as Strax Easyclean?

i think best you go and ask the fella that sells Jotun
i also need answers
*ok I'm going to call my guy see what he says. he is quite an expert*

I am considering between jotun Easyclean or jotun majestic royal matt. Majestic has anti-fungus/bacterial properties and it's more expensive so I am thinking to use that but if it gives the problem like what you explained, I would go with Easyclean. You did not have the same problem with Easyclean?

why don't you try both. you need to test some color right on your walls? when i test mine, i bought 1L cans for the colors I wanted. Then you can use a damp cloth and wipe it (after a day or two of drying time) - see what happens

I can't remember if I face the same problem with Strax

where is your place btw? I bought my paint from a HST Solution at Ampang Point. The boss there is very good
