Frequently Asked Questions ?
What types of paint do you sell?

We offer interior, exterior, specialty coatings, and primers.

What is the difference between oil-based and water-based paint?

Oil-based paints are durable and better for surfaces like wood or metal, while water-based paints (latex/acrylic) dry faster, are easier to clean, and are more eco-friendly.

What paint finish should I use?
  • Flat/Matte: Best for ceilings and low-traffic areas. 
  • Eggshell/Satin: Great for living rooms and moderate-traffic areas.
  • Semi-Gloss/Gloss: Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, trims, and doors.
Do you offer color matching?

Yes, we provide precise in-store color matching services.

What is the difference between primer and paint?

Primer prepares the surface, helps paint adhere better, and ensures an even finish.

How many coats of paint do I need?

Typically, 2 coats are recommended for an even, durable finish.

How long should I wait between coats?

Generally, 2–4 hours for water-based paint and 24 hours for oil-based paint.

How much paint do I need?

It depends on the surface size and type of paint. On average, litre covers approximately 12-16 square meters with one coat.

How do I prepare my walls before painting?

Clean the surface, fill cracks/holes, sand uneven areas, and apply a primer if needed.

Can I paint over old paint?

Yes, but ensure the old surface is clean, dry, and primed, especially if changing from dark to light colors.

Is your paint washable?

Yes, most premium paints have washable finishes like satin, semi-gloss, or gloss.

How do I clean painted walls?

Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

How long does paint last?

Paint can last a lifetime depending on the environment and quality of paint.

Do you sell eco-friendly or low-VOC paint?

Yes, we offer environmentally friendly options with low or zero VOCs.

How do I protect painted surfaces?

Use a sealer for high-traffic or exterior surfaces, and clean regularly.

Do you sell specialty coatings?

Yes, including primers, sealers, waterproof coatings, and more.

What is the best paint for high-moisture areas?

Use mold- and mildew-resistant paints, like kitchen or bathroom-specific formulas.

Can I use the same paint for both walls and ceilings?

While possible, ceiling paints are typically lighter and designed to reduce drips.

Do you have paints suitable for exterior surfaces?

Yes, our exterior paints are durable, weather-resistant, and UV-protected.

How do I prevent paint from peeling or cracking?

Proper preparation, priming, and selecting high-quality paint prevent these issues.
