Chinese New Year is coming soon, one of my colleague is planning to paint his house but he has no idea about how to buy the right paint. He was asking me about this during our office lunch time. My grandparents were doing hardware and paint business, so i know a little bit more about how to choose the paint for house..
Let me teach you / those who want to paint their house to celebrate CNY, yeah yeah...
1. Decide from among Interior or Exterior paint. You should not use any exterior paint inside your house. Likewise, interior paint should not be used for any outside jobs since this paint will not withstand the elements.
2. Understand what paint is made from and how to read the labels. We have a lot of brands in Malaysia such as Dulux, ICI, Nippon and so on... Paint is made with pigments, binders, additives and liquid. The amount of each of these will affect how the paint looks. So far, the best paint is Dulux Pearl which the paint will be long-last.
3. There is two types of paint which is solvent-based and water-based. The liquid part of solvent-based paint is mineral spirits, which is slow to dry. Water-based paint is fast drying and great to use when you don't have a lot of time.
