applefreak, if it is the very thin groove line on the wall, then your painter should do it foc. They are supposed to patch up/plaster all the groove lines and small dents or holes before painting. I did pay an additional 100 to the painter due to the huge groove lines on my ceiling since my ceiling is pre-cast type, and this is to compensate the extra job that they are doing.

ummm, the groove lines are not really thin thin

about the width of my pinkie

it's quite visible and a lot of them running all over

my painter charge very cheap so think the patching works is charged separately so at least i have the option of patching or not patching

My painter charged me 1100 for painting and additional 100 for patching up the groove lines on the ceiling. I think you should patch up the groove line, it really looks much better after that. Groove lines on the wall is just too much distraction for me.

Groove lines = those like crack lines after the cement dried up? Always happened after u hack the wall and later cover with cement?

My flat also got those crack lines at the kitchen wall, but my ID show me to use paint to paint over can liao...hmmmm

groove lines are actually 'sunken' lines on the wall that shows your which walls can be hack i.e. the line between a hackable wall and a structural beam

it's about 10mm deep so can't paint over it

have asked my contractor to patch it up so that the wall is one smooth piece

The question should be after patching up, will crack lines appear? Coz the wall and the patched part maybe using different material, so contract and expand rate might be different. But since u using Medifresh, maybe ok. Coz some paints able to expand abit without cracking.

Might be worthwhile to see who patched 1-2 yrs back and now no crack? My ID's painter said will crack over time. Then again, my paint is only Pentalite, so that could be the reason.

think workmanship and quality of paint quite important bah

if the putty is not packed into the gap, they may fall off in time

some paint will expand so won't have cracks, think medifresh is one of those

bro MaCe, how come yours so expensive?

you plaster the whole unit walls isit? !!
