Paint

A paint job is a system, not a single product: putty, primer, and two or more topcoats. Skipping or thinning any layer is where peeling, chalking and patchy finish come from a year later.

Interior emulsions are chosen by sheen and washability; exterior emulsions by UV, algae and water resistance. Enamels go on wood and metal, and elastomeric coatings bridge hairline cracks on terrace and parapet surfaces.

Typical units: litre, bucket (20 L). Priced per litre; labour and surface preparation are usually the larger half of the cost.

• Interior walls and ceilings
• Exterior facades and parapets
• Wood and metal joinery
• Waterproof coatings on terraces and wet walls
• Textured and designer finishes

Distemper / economy emulsion

Budget interiors, low washability.

Premium / luxury emulsion

Better coverage, sheen and washability.

Exterior emulsion

UV, rain and algae resistance for facades.

Enamel / PU

Wood and metal surfaces, high durability.

• Compare on coverage per litre per coat, not on the price of the bucket.
• Never skip the primer, and give the wall proper curing time before painting new plaster.
• Get a sample patch applied and viewed in daylight and at night before committing to the whole house.
• Check the manufacturing date and buy from a dealer with reasonable stock turnover.
