Frequently asked questions
How do I get my paintable area?
Multiply carpet area by 3.3-3.7. A 1,000 sq ft flat has roughly 3,500 sq ft of paintable walls and ceilings.
Repaint or fresh paint - how do I decide?
If walls are sound and the colour similar, repaint works. Flaking, dampness or dark-to-light changes need the full system.
How long does a 2 BHK take?
Repaint 3-5 days; full fresh painting 7-10 days including drying time.
