I think that's all for my DIY, took me more than half year to repair and built. I didn't post smaller item as I don't think it's necessary here. There is one last plan to build a mini fish pond with water fall at my car porch but probably I would like to take a rest before continuing it.

Hi, previous owner removed it for their bed frame.

Thanks

This area required 1 sets of 1 liter primer & 1 liter luxury series blue and it's a very close call. The last swipes require me to squeeze all the remaining paint on my brush.

FYI, this area is approx. 2.2m X 2.8m.

Yeap, all 4 borders have taped. So don't worry..

Hi, I have no idea as well. Roller is not working on my old ceiling. So I painted my ceiling using 4" brush but so far only managed to paint 4 panels of 4' X 4' in 4 hours time.

The struggle is real man...

Sir, when your bank account left Rm5k but you have to get the whole house done. How do you get professional?

I dismantle the ceiling fans, and replaced all the lights and switches myself. So far, I still have 3k++ budget.

I guess, it'll depend on the existing wall colour. Mine was light yellow, so I applied 1 layer of perfect white. After few hour, I apply patching layer to cover off all the remaining patches.

The next day, I apply 2 layer of primer (each layer must be dried before proceed another one) then followed by momento. Probably 1 day++ to get it done for 1 wall but it's really tiring.

They'll provide you the special hand brush for the effects. You should prepare 1 roller for the primer application.

Well, primer is in white colour but IMO, 1 liter is not enough to cover the existing colour, so it's better to cover it off first. It's not the same as ordinary white paint, it has rough surface upon dried off.

Primer takes like 1 hour to dry, so you can only apply after that.

Momento is just a special paint with glittering powder or white putty like mine. You need to paint it using cross method to produce the pattern with the custom paint brush.

For my luxury series, it comes with some small lump of white putty in the blue paint. Paint it using cross "X" method then after 30min use a flat card (provided by them) to press the white putty to produce the special white effect.

For 1 set of 1 liter for both primer & base, it cost me RM110. I bought that during PSM (Meru) stock clearance. So total is like RM110 + my perfect white, probably RM150~200.

Manual said so and Nippon staffs taught me to paint it during the roadshow at PSM also.

The rainbow method is normally for the series with glittering powder. The concept is slightly different, 1 base colour + second layer tint with glittering powder. Example, red base colour then second layer is gold glittering powder. This series has lesser “texture”.

For mine, it comes with small putty lump inside the paint. So it will create rough surface with texture.

All same price, I bought 1 set of glittering one also. It's for another room.

I think you should get the catalogue from the shops, it has 68 pages, over 50++ combinations.

Enjoy dulu.. Later baru pikir how to clean it..

My advice is to use white paint first, the 1 liter primer not enough to paint 2 layers one. Only enough to patch up after you finish first layer.

Not yet, I'm doing master room now. Need to settle this room first before moving on. I can only do it during the weekend.

No matter what series you're getting, you only supplied with 2 mediums. Either primer + colour or base colour + tint.

For my Elegant series that I posted, they only have 1 primer (white) + blue with special effect. I have another set which comes with purple base colour + teal colour tint.

It depend on how big is your wall, 1 set of 1 + 1 litre better not exceed 5m² or 53.8 sqr.ft.

All colours standard one. Just make sure to paint the pattern from top, row by row or it will messed up.

Because contractor wants fast money, momento require lots of idling time waiting for each layer to dry and the application itself required more labour & skill.

It's matte, I used that for wall and ceiling.

It's okay to ask.

20liters for RM260+ if I'm not mistaken. You may add some water, like 5~10% to dilute it for easier to paint.

*Updated thread for 6 & 7 January 2018 at page 1.

Don't worry, the existing wood frame (2" X 4") is strong. I added few more support points for the ceiling board mounted to the frame as well. Each board (4' X 3') is secured with at least 8~9 screws.

CSM Kota Kemuning, but better go Kedai Cat Boon Seng @ Klang.. I got a new momento there layer 1 5L + layer 2 1L around 180~190 only..

If you're on budget, just use maxilite lo.. Most contractors and developer also using it..

shopping malls issue is due to air con pipe condensation & humid in the toilet. They should use weather proof paint in the toilet.

My advice is paint only 1 layer with something more reliable. You'll break your back if you paint 2 layers

If you don't try or start, you won't do it forever..

Currently I'm like working 12 hour for 7 days to rush my deadline..
