Paint & Coatings
Interior and exterior paint protects surfaces and is one of the most visible finishing touches.
Used for
- Interior walls and ceilings
- Exterior walls
- Waterproof coatings
Quality considerations
- Use exterior-rated, weatherproof paint outside — interior paint will fade and peel faster when exposed to sun and rain.
- Proper surface preparation (plaster curing, sanding, priming) affects paint lifespan more than the paint brand itself.
Common mistakes
- • Painting over freshly plastered walls before they've fully cured, causing peeling.
Priced per litre or per bucket; coverage area varies by surface and number of coats.
