Dear all LYN sifus,Good afternoon.
i am renovating my house right now.
the existing wall color is light blue/purple color.
i wish to paint it white.
My contractor told me the most cheap and budget friendly method shall be maxilite which cost around RM 160
I went to paint shop and tell told me had to primer + paint which cost around RM 580
while some shopee shop owner told be I can straight away JOTAPLAST Max which cost around Rm 158

I wish to consult all LYN sifus that had such experience.
if I want to paint a house with budget friendly cost, which option shall I go for?

The original colour looks darkish. If you just paint 2 layers of cheap paint, there is a chance of color bleeding through. Might notice this only after few days. The walls got a bluish tint. End up painting another layer. Too many layers, then risk of paint peeling.
I think better use a primer, sand a bit when dry, then one layer cheap paint. The white should last longer.

if my wall is already white, would the same still apply? not sure whether  to use 5400 wall sealer or matex as undercoat and how many layers of satin glo is sufficent

If wall already white, just clean a bit, make sure flat and smooth since you are using paint with sheen. 2 layers satin glo is enough.
