Simpleboi 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Hi all,Need to check with you all, for the painting of whole hse, wat type of paint does ur ID/contractor use??? Heard some type of paint no good, pain liao once scratch will leave a mark there.Hi jazznpopMy ID/contractor used ICI Dulux.. Wash and Wear.. actually we chose it.. the space colours have to add in cost so we didnt choose... Also can choose Nippon hmm..The paint so far quite ok.. think normal.. but only stayed there less than a month.. so cant tell how long it can last !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xlan 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 hi neighbours.. finally got a letter (stuck on my metal gate) from Starhub.. telling me appointment to activate the maxonline connection for me.. FOC..but in the letter.. they also mentioned if any modification done to the TV point due to renovation course.. then will gotta pay accordingly as the technician examine n rectify.. so wat i wanted to inform all neighbours here.. 1) u will not miss the notification (if any) for the technician to come activate "unit by unit".. cos they use the usual starhub envelop tat sent bills to us.. quite big letter.. not small note or flyers.. 2) try not to shift point or do any modification to it.. if not.. only to risk hving to let them earn "extra" frm u..i'm also facing the risk now.. shall see how.. will update again.. my appointment is tis coming fri morning.. wish me luck!

Anyone try b4??Hi Jazznpop,emulsion means water based paint which is the more commonly used one. But other than letting them state emulsion paint you sld check with them wat type of emulsion paint also cos they are a few different type.. just like wat simpleboi mention abt dulux light and space is more expensive then dulux wash and wear.. and both are emulsion..
