The Painting Protocol

1-2-1 System

1

**1 Coat Primer**: Essential for the paint to "stick" (bond) to the cement. Without this, your expensive paint will peel off like skin.

2

**2 Coats Putty**: Smooths the wall. Think of this as the "foundation" for a makeup-like finish. It masks the roughness of the cement.

1

**1 Coat Final Primer**: Applied over the putty to seal it before the actual color paint goes on.

P

**2 Coats Final Emulsion**: The actual color that brings your room to life.

Coverage Calculator

1 Liter of premium interior emulsion typically covers **140 - 150 sq.ft** (single coat). Always factor in 10-15% wastage for brushes/rollers.

Pro Math

Divide your total wall area (SqFt) by 75 to get the liter requirement for 2 coats.

The Shimoga Monsoon Check

In high-rainfall areas like Shivamogga, **Weathercoat** or **Apex Ultima** is non-negotiable. Ensure the painter applies at least 3 coats of exterior primer for maximum dampness protection. Standard emulsion will swell and flake after just one rainy season here.
