Do you trust banglas ? Buy your own paint & hire a bunch of them and have them paint your house, clean whole house + do some handyman repairs. All in a days work. Price wise per pax maybe $60-$80 depending on your house is 4 rm flat or 6 rm mansion. Buy them lunch and oh,  a can of Kingfisher each. They'll be very happy !!! 

 

you are wrong bro, bangla now are very clever. They also know how to calculate.

 

i approached few but in the end gave up the idea as the saving is only 2-300 bucks.

 

They also know how to calculate now.

Mumm.......what's the cause?

 

Moisture?

 

Too much water added - the paint too diluted.

The preparation and protection works are the killing part especially for an occupied space. Worth while to get a professional to do a good job. Also, use good paint with proper sealer. Cost more to do it more often. My 2-cent

If you want to paint it

Paint it black

For light box, false ceiling or fake wall with plasterboard...is it a must to use only vinyl or acrylic paint? Emulsion boleh tak? 🤔

Not true, all office walls use water based. 
maybe for toilet, but my toilet false ceiling from raw board only a sealer and emulsion. 
Did someone give you this “advise”?😂

Nope. Just that when i tried to paint over the old paint on the plasterboard the new paint caused the old paint to crack and becum flaky. Maybe I need to wipe clean before painting...
