PAINT

[DeputyDavid]

I used IBC Emulsion Paint. It?s crap. Took five coats to cover the primer.

Been shopping for paint today and finally went with Beger    http://www.beger.co.th/product?painttype=1

Even though they had some very expensive paint ( the  Beger Shield Diamond was about 2200 for 9.46 lt )

I  decided to go with their Beger Cool All Plus Semi-gloss at about 1400 for 9.46 lt ( roughly 2800 for 5US Gallons ) which is more the double the price of the TOA Super matex !!

I brought 7 No  9.46 lt Buckets of the main colour and a small 3.785 lt tub of the darker colour to go around the bottom of the walls and house where needed. With rollers , paint trays ( the painter has some trays but I would sooner use new ones ) ,  sandpaper, paint brushes ,filler and a tin of wood stain for our wooden chairs and small coffee table on the veranda , the whole bill was less than 11,000 Baht .With the cost of the painters labour I should come in well under the 20K I have allocated for the job.
The painter has looked at the walls and said I've done such a good job of jet washing all the wall in his opinion the surface is stable enough to be painted on after a light sand and filling of any small cracks .
So if you thinking of painting your house it's a lot cheaper than you may expect
You would never get the whole outside of your House painted in the UK including labour for under 450 quid 

AND -------- Apparently my paint has Innovative Micro Sphere Ceramic technology as used by NASA on the space shuttle

All finished ,I would recommend the Beger Paint if anyone is thinking of a re-paint or even a new build.
Here's the before and after shots
