not possible because 70% of this 10L will be kept white only. Only 1 room walls to be colored grey (by mixing black tube).

The “strainer” can be added manually too, without any problem.

Very minor variations than the shade card might hapoen, based on temperature and the application process.

Although amatuers too can apply.

The prepping and technicalities of water based versus emulsion, polymer based paints is better handled by professional worker.

To a finicy eye, uneven surfaces or not properly prepared putty, direct application or not letting the primer cure and applying paint unevenly would come across as an eyesore.

‏‏Apex Ultima is water based (but modified emulsion) and if applied by brush (as opposed to roller sponge) the coverage for single coat might range between 100-130 square feet per litre.

Double coat might be 55-65 square feet per litre.

But these estimates are for external walls and normal surface (without the kind of issues you have on your internal walls).

The warranty would only be honoured if they think that application was as per prescribed norms.

Usually 400-450ml water is added per litre of paint.

And 4½-5 hours drying time after first coat, before applying second coat.

But all this is highly subjective and most of it is to do with the surface prep and style of application. ‏‏

Have you ever done this before or have experience of observing it being done?

Please check with the dealer.

See the reference videos posted above.

Obviously the strainer input will always be with reference to the amount of paint it is meant for.

Out of the 10L, the required quantity would need to be transferred to a separate container

be it for the computerised addition of strainer or manually adding it.‏‏

M bhi aisa hi kuch likhne ki soch rha tha but mujhe sabd hi nhi mile…

go to local shop…they will add.

or else buy one ltr more grey paint.

you can ask your painter to mix black stainer in apex. You will need to mix large quantity of black stainer if you require darker shade. If you require darker shade then buy 1 or 2 liter of paint as per requirement of shade as it cost less instead of stainer.

1. How do I know if I need Primer or not?
2. My wall finish is coming out very uneven with Putty base, not sure how to rectify that. Should I use brush instead of Roller? Only 1 old man is my labor – maybe his hands are uneven 😥

This type of light grey I need. I calculated wall area to be 500 sqft (50 ft length x 10 ft high). So I think I will need around 5L grey paint for 2 coat.

Labor said that only 50gm Black tube is enough for making this light grey paint. Is that correct?

Also 4L paint costs 1.5K and 1 strainer costs only 70 rupees.

As shade is dark atleast 2-3 stainers would be used. If you are visiting the paint shop you can ask him to check in colour bank computer for estimate of stainer for this shade if the shopkeeper is not too greedy he will tell you fair amount. 

You can also ask him about the quantity of stainer that he would add for the shade.

Actually there are different base colours which are used for different shades. Turing white into grey sometimes is tricky as you dont get desired shade quickly 

One advice if there are spots of moisture on walls don’t use this shade you will see different shades and patches of colour on wall and it can look shabby.

Suggest a good cool, light, relaxing shade for small (10×10) bedroom please.

Have a look on shade number L155

How about slightly darker then, like 9516, L189.

Light enough to give the airy feel and not make the room dark, but resistant to smudges.

However I would’ve tilted more towards creamish brown or very light peach type colours.

Shades of grey or any such dull colours NO WAY.

And if stupid kids, stupid domestic helps are not there and furniture isn’t banged against walls then white is any right.

For highlighting, rather use copper coloured or such metallic highlights on some wall.

Or some bargain wallpaper, as it is only one room. Slight splurging might be okay.

That topic (comments) became too NSFW to be discussed before 2300 hours.

Avoidable even after iftaari.

8302 shade is good in Asian paint 

like steel grey
