Thank you.
asian paints royale touch for house walls
How is jotun, Sherwin-Williams?
not sure of the same.
but besides the ones suggested above.
back in the day, Nerolac was something we got long lasting results with.
and
later when AkzoNobel took over larger control of Dulux in India.. we tried that too https://www.dulux.in/en/products/b_Dulux/p_exte...
by the way: could you properly update the post with the query? so that it becomes easily searchable.
exterior or interior or both? add all this. instead of keeping it in just the title.
.
in-case, there is normal dampness or seepage (not internal water pipes damage)
then better ask those Asian paints people to come visit and check.
tell them that tou are interested to give the whole project. if inspection is free.
.
mostly ir is not needed, but if plaster has to be repaired in some places, simoly replace plaster with that special mix/chemical.. that is used to fix bath/toilet tiles.
and with those instead of putty on top of it.
use Asian Paints’ “Damp block”
i think “Damp block” was used internally (at one of our properties) and “Damp proof” was applied outside.
.
more than the materials, the workmanship matters.
surface prep and curing.. and application are fairly technical things and only experienced painters give best results in the long run.
water based paints have ease of application and i don't kniw what VOCs are but the water mixed paints emit less of that toxicity in the air ...it seems.
oil-bound paints are more durable.
i am not too sure of changes or choices for wood. but with Asian Paints, i think the "Apex" and "Tractor" and good enough for plsin finish and mid range budget. maybe Apcolite too https://www.asianpaints.com/products/paints-and...
at an old home, with industrial//city pollution and grime, we got fed up and went for oil-bound "matte" finish. proper double coat and 4-5 years minimum it is done.
in less urban home of ours, this newer aparrment is still with putty only
and after 3-4 years of testing and few seepage.
now we are contemplating if wallpaper in few rooms might be better.
(moving all the furniture from bedrooms versus slightly higher cists of wall paper)
get samples from local dealer ir shop https://www.asianpaints.com/resources/tools/pai... who mix the Colour (they have this computerised machine that just adds the RGBY pirtions to arrive at the shade).
apply those samples on a board and check if they suit you all.
texturised finishes look rich, but i feel they are a bit if waste or show off.
wood paints, not much idea but again AP or Berger.
Thank you for your detailed reply, as always. I’m for oil based paints as well. Much durable in our Indian scenario.
I dont like textured finish as well. I like solid plain colours, without weird ceiling pop, and no zingy designs, patterns, textures.
Ours is a old house, replacing everything except the concrete structure. 
o wow Bengaluru
i confused you to someone else then and assumed NCR or western U.P.
hmmm… then tractor/Apcolite might be on shortlist for sub-brand.
in dusty, grimmy coastal/by the creek New Bombay, we eventually went with a darkish cream .
it is lookibg a bit washed out here and possibly a little faded as some enthusiastic people actually washed it with proper Vim liquid (utensils soap) too. #noFaceEmoji
if rooms are airy and ample daylight, reflective colours or rather ..NOT dull colours are better.
in-fact some in our family wanted it to be white¡!!! shudders.
yup 
that damn old Aquaguard Classic is from pre-independence ers and may not be changed😖🤦🏻♂ in our lifetime (or worse, be replaced by a newer version of Classic😢
{like it has been here at the other home)
sighhh
Why would you think that? 
hahaha my preference is white only or shades of white as our plot area is very small, and the constructed area is even smaller.cream, shades of yellow im tired of seeing since I remember. 
Whatever it is, use the best quality paint, and if budget permits, use Odour-less Paint for the interior.
The contractor will recommend unbranded paint for cost-saving, it may look good for three months after that it starts piling off!
Old plaster, putty, fresh paint. Changing colour is not a problem. Fresh primer.
google it what all should be done before painting, after that contact your contractor, convey all the work he should do, and get the estimate @papa_kancha
in 3D printed too.. functionality over aesthetics can be got.
but then, i prefer powder coated or anodised fixtures (metal) for their longevity.
and no idea how these polymers or whatever.. how they handle fatigue or weather changes over the years.. is a big question mark (to me).
Dont want to go there because philips is readily avilable and also its not on the priority to get something custom done. maybe a custom toilet seat that caresses my buttocks like a feather. 
Most new ones I have seen are powder coated, anodized is also good, but im looking at chrome, nickel, zinc plated or anodized.
Would prefer Asian paints. These days you need anything go to youtube. There are 100s of people making videos of everything under the sun from personal experiences to contractors/sellers. You will get estimations, what to use for better painting, how contractors cheat so on and so forth.
