spiff 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2008 Hi everyone, I was quoted different prices for my flat using ICI 3 in 1 inlcuding doors , door frame pipes and ceiling....Was quoted from $800 to $1400 by different painters...Some say low price means they mix lousy paint...... all kinds of answers I get... am confused, so who's real ? I need your advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheekybee 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2008 Hi spiff..For me about $1200+ is quite reasonable for 5 room flat. Specify the type of paint you want...how many colours in the house...ask them to quote accordingly...also ask them how many coats they will paint too...Sometimes if their workers come from JB or SG the price will also differ.

zentheman 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Hi!If you can settle for simpler paint like Matex or Maxelite, white ceiling and one colour for the rest of the walls, then you could get it as low as $600. More colors cost more. If you need to have the doors & the pipes in the house painted, then these are additional charges. If you want wash&wear, or vinilex, super vinilex, or odorless etc, the cost adds up & up. If you call up the painters in the ST classifieds, you have to be very specific with the type of work you want, the paint quality, the coverage and most important, insist on the warranty, a written one preferably.
