Which is better ? Value paint or Princess paint For those in ibadan . I’m trying to be sure of paints that won’t change color to another color after few years |
gbadexy(m): 6:51pm On Jun 02 |
Dirkcoyt:There are factors that may affect paints changing color after some time outside. The type of paint like emulsion, emulsion or matte for instance. Quality of paint; some quality of matte could be emulsion of others and most importantly the type of pigment used. The bright organic pigments would fade on exposure to sunlight no matter the type and quality of paint. Inorganic pigment based paints of good quality would last very well outside. You should be advised against using organic pigment based paints for external use if they are knowledgeable to know them. Organic pigment based paints are synthetized and very bright. 2 Likes |

gbadexy: Which would you advised for outside emulsion or emulsion or matte And how do you know if it’s organic or inorganic as most painters are not that savvy considering the theoretical part you’re quoting And please Sir, which is better for inside gloss or satin what’s there difference I see you produce paint too are you in ibadan ? |
gbadexy(m): 7:57pm On Jun 02 |
Dirkcoyt:Matte is the best for external use. It withstands weather better. Followed by emulsion. It simply means highest grade emulsion. Some brands deal in grade and their prices indicates so. Some deal in Budget grade emulsion. Those are the ones you see in open markets much. The brands are mostly ordered and produced. I tried to lay emphasis on brightness of colors to indicate organically synthetized pigments. I can't state colors in particular because there are wide variety of colors with different combinations of pigments. Some may have solely organic pigments and you would notice it getting lighter in months. Like furcial pink. Some may have it in combination with inorganic pigment and when they fade, there would still be the inorganic color left on the wall albeit changed from the initial color mixed. I'm based in Lagos but I've supplied basically all regions. Ibadan more after Lagos supply 3 Likes |

Dirkcoyt:There's a type now known as Weather-shield but I'm not sure if other manufacturers are also into it yet aside Dulux. The essence of such paint is to maintain its colour without being affected by weather for years. 1 Like |
gbadexy(m): 5:34am On Jun 03 |
uncleteeh:I'm not sure if weathershield is trade marked but finecoat has shield. The weatherseal/shield is formulated to have u.v absorber and extra sufficient binder while still using inorganic pigments. Even in tap red tap handles exposed to sunlight, you notice the color fading despite being in a more stronger plastic medium to show how susceptible the organic pigments are to sunlight. I've done something much more effective as a weather protection for building in high humidity areas by including wax in my weather protective paint for some clients but I've stopped because Nigerians don't appreciate things like that and would opt for the next cheaper alternative even though the difference isn't much. |

gbadexy: Question for you. Why would white patches appear on paintwork after some months or years as if it is fine powder? If water is used to wipe it clear, it still comes back. Is there a remedy? Please note these are internal/interior walls. |
gbadexy(m): 8:18pm On Jun 03 |
FEGEITOK:That is efflorescence. It's dissolved salts on the ground and in the mortar mix that dissolved in ground water evaporating to the surface. When the water evaporates, the salts stays behind on the surface. The solution is same with ground water ingress. Apply undercoat to seal the wall before repainting. But there is possibility the water may reappear elsewhere. I want to assume the issue is on the ground floor. Using the necessary waterproofing methods during construction would prevent this if it's from the ground otherwise look for leaking pipes or trace adjacent bathroom walls and seal breached wall. 2 Likes |
FEGEITOK: 8:39pm On Jun 03 |
gbadexy: Thanks. I will make arrangements for an undercoat application. Yes it is on the ground floor. Yes, the internal wall is shared with the bathroom. Will fix this. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Will get back to you soon for the paint. 1 Like |
