Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my wall has leakage or dampness?
Always fix the source of the leakage first. After that, apply a sealer, followed by primer and then the topcoat. Simply painting over damp walls will not solve the problem.
How long should I wait before painting new plaster?
Fresh plaster should be allowed to dry completely for at least 21–28 days. Painting too early may cause bubbling or peeling.
Should I apply wall putty or cement on new plaster?
It is recommended to first apply a primer and then wall putty for a smooth and durable finish. Directly applying cement is not advisable.
What is epoxy flooring, and where is it used?
Epoxy flooring is a high-performance coating ideal for car parking areas, warehouses, hospitals, and kitchens. It is resistant to water, chemicals, and heavy traffic.
How much paint do I need for a standard room?
- One gallon of paint covers approximately 160 sq.ft.
- A standard room is around 400 sq.ft.
- Typically, you will need 2–3 gallons (or one 4-gallon drum) for full coverage.
What is the difference between interior and exterior paints?
- Interior paints are smoother, washable, and designed for indoor walls.
- Exterior paints are weather-resistant and protect against rain, sunlight, and humidity.
Are paints washable?
Yes, most high-quality interior paints are washable. Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean stains without damaging the finish.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
After primer, at least two coats of topcoat are recommended. For dark colors over light surfaces, sometimes three coats may be required.
What is the shelf life of paint?
Most paints have a shelf life of 2–3 years if stored properly in sealed containers at a cool and dry place.
What are the differences between Nippon, Brighto, and Kaizen paints?
- Nippon Paint: International brand, premium quality, and wide color range.
- Brighto Paints: Popular in local markets, budget-friendly.
- Kaizen Paints: Modern formulations with strong durability.
Can I paint over old, damaged paint?
Yes, but first scrape and sand the old surface, apply primer, and then repaint to ensure proper adhesion and durability.
How can I choose the right paint color?
We provide shade cards and color consultation services from leading brands like Nippon Paint – Colors of Life. Our team can also suggest combinations based on your home’s design.
What causes paint to peel or crack?
Peeling usually happens due to moisture, poor surface preparation, or applying paint on wet plaster. Proper priming and surface treatment can prevent this.
How do I prevent mold or fungus on walls?
Use an anti-fungal primer or moisture-resistant paint, especially in humid areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.
How long does paint take to dry?
- Touch dry: 1–2 hours
- Recoat time: 4–6 hours
- Full cure: 7 days (depending on weather conditions)
Can I use the same paint for walls, wood, and metal?
- Wall paints are for plaster and masonry.
- Enamels or wood & metal paints are for doors, windows, and furniture.
Which paint is best for bathrooms and kitchens?
For high-moisture areas, use washable emulsion or semi-gloss paint with anti-fungal protection. This ensures durability and easy cleaning.
Do you provide technical data or coverage details?
Yes, every brand comes with a technical data sheet (TDS) that explains coverage, drying time, mixing ratio, and recommended application methods. For example, 1 gallon usually covers around 160 sq.ft.
