Existing colour paint is not terribly old, and no issue with damp wall right?
Just paint over with matex for A4 paper white.

After ten years my matex still hold up perfectly.

my contractor only paint 1 layer Nippon Matex then follow with a layer Nippon Satin Glo, is this ok?

This is usually done if the existing colour is dark or diff colour, to "lighten up" the background so the satin glo colour can "pop" well.

if the wall accidentally kena some coffee stain or dirt stain, can I wipe with water?

what is the difference between matex & JOTAPLAST Max?

Thanks sir for the sharing.  laugh.gif

Brand preference only lah, Matex do not dilute with more than 2-3% water *be very kiamsiap with the water for best results*.
KCC more solids but harder to stir.. it dries thicker
Matex very beginner friendly, easy to apply, my personal preference
Jotun.. somehow I find their economy paint not as cheap so I never use

Hi, if my wall after hacking do I need primer before paint?

I plan DIY, what type of paint should I look for? Prefer those easy maintenance type, can wipe out the dirt easily.

Yes nod.gif otherwise cement suck up water like a sponge and you will definitely see the line there.
Easywash for colour paint.. else any matex also can for white. If it stick properly to the wall its quite easy to wipe down with soap and water.. I use economy white for kitchen wall and frying stuff the oil splatter everywhere so no point for me to use good paint.

Thanks for reply, primer do I need to apply whole wall or only the hacking area? What brand of primer & paint do u recommend?
*
Enough to cover the bare cement mortar (hacked area) plus a lil on the sides. No harm to apply more one.

yeah, my existing colour is diff, slightly darker

in this situation, still need sealer before the satin glo?
*
You're painting on good condition existing paint so no need sealer. It would be good to paint over with economy white so that the true colour of new paint will not be "tinted" with dark old paint lah.

usually i just use the "White" one.. 15425 is ICI code for white IIRC.. both should be A4 paper white aka boring white, either is fine
