Topic: Exterior Paint

Hi

I am constructing my house, and I am bit confused on choosing the exterior paint. I will either choose Asian Paint's APEX ULTIMA or DULUX WeatherCoat, I have read bad feed back about APex Ultima. Can any one share their experience or suggest which colour brand to go with Apex Ultima or Dulux WeatherCoat?

TIA

Painting the exterior of your house may seem like a job for professionals, but if you've got the motivation and some basic knowledge of paints, it's a job you may want to tackle yourself. It could save you a lot of cash. Latex exterior paints have undergone improvements, and some can be as durable as oil-based.
Painting the exterior of your house may seem like a job for professionals, but if you've got the motivation and some basic knowledge of paints, it's a job you may want to tackle yourself. It could save you a lot of cash. Latex exterior paints have undergone improvements, and some can be as durable as oil-based.

Oil-based paints are very durable and water-resistant. They result in hard finish and are often used by professional painters. Use an oil-based if the surface you are painting has already been painted with oil-based paint.

Stir oil-based paint frequently, as the oil in these types of paint tend to separate quickly.

If using oil-based paint, be sure to use a brush or roller specifically designed for use with oil-based paint.
Latex exterior paints have undergone many improvements, and some can be as durable as oil-based.

They are also considerably easier to work with. Be sure, however, that you select an exterior latex for use on the outside of your home, not the same latex used on interior walls.
