Well, every product has its own drying time. And it’s quite risky to paint during the rainy season. If in case, you go ahead with the painting and it rains heavily, not allowing enough time for the paint to dry, you might have to face problems. Hence, we recommend you to observe the weather condition and then go ahead with painting.
You need to allow a curing period of 45 days for exteriors, and 3-6 months for interiors.
Curing period means the walls should be left bare. This is because the paint should not react with the chemical present in the cement.
Most wall paints made by Asian Paints are washable, compared to other brands. Common stains, like pencil marks, can be easily cleaned. But, it is difficult to clean tough stains. You may try using a mild detergent to clean the stains.
Any paint stains should be wiped off immediately. Use a mop and clean up each room after the painting is over. Enamel paint stains require thinner for cleaning. You can also use turpentine to scrub them off the floor.
Yes. If entire furniture is coated with Wood Finish, it is difficult for the termites to attack the surface.
If the termites have already infected the furniture, you will have to treat the furniture for termites, with the solutions easily available in the market, e.g. Termiguard. No Wood Finish is Termite proof.
Acrylic basically means water based products, which have High Density Particles that result in an excellent finish on your walls.
Emulsions are acrylic based paints, which are water based. These are available for Interior Wall surfaces as well as Exterior Wall surfaces.
Water-based paints are diluted with water, while solvent-based paints are diluted with solvents like Mineral Turpentine Oil (MTO). Emulsions are water-based paints while enamels, lustre and matt finishes are solvent-based paints. Emulsions look better on walls and are ideal for drawing rooms. Solvent-based paints are ideally suited for kitchens and bathrooms since they are water-resistant. Enamels are used on wood and metals.
Primers and putties are applied on the paintable surface before the final paint is applied. Before you apply putty or primer you have to sand the wall with sandpaper. Putty is a kind of paste prepared for applying on walls to fill in any minor dents or to level the surface. Since putty is absorbent, a coat of paint applied directly over it would lead to the paint being absorbed unevenly, leading to patches. A primer layer on top of the putty is a must. It takes away the unevenness caused by putty and the final paint comes out perfect. Thus, you get both protection and good finish.
Primer paint is a preliminary layer of coating that is applied on the materials prior to the paint. It ensures that the paint adhesion to the surface is proper, enhances the durability of paint, and imparts extra safety to the surface being painted. Primer also seals pores in permeable materials, and averts bleeding from knots. If suitably applied, primers will enhance the life of the paint, and also improve its appearance.
The pre-painting procedure for Interiors includes the following steps: 1) Check surface for dampness or water seepage. 2) Rectify the water seepage problem at the source. This could mean repairing leaking plumbing or cracks in the exterior walls. 3) Any loose plaster should be removed from the wall. Check for loose plaster by tapping on the walls. Any hollow sound means the plaster is loose. 4) Masonry work to be undertaken to fill up all cracks and repair broken plaster.
While painting, you need to keep in mind some tips: 1) To save on costs, buy paint in the largest pack possible. 2) Stir and strain the paint thoroughly before application. 3) Rectify existing surface problems like cracks/seepage, etc before the actual painting process. 4) Ensure that the paint is bought from an authorized dealer. 5) Ensure that the shop has an additional quantity of paint in case you need it later (of course, at our dealers especially Colour World, you will not find this problem.) 6) If you are using thinners, primers and undercoats, ensure that they are of good quality. 7) Always clean spilt/splashed paint with a recommended thinner while it is still wet.
We do not recommend you use kerosene for thinning of paint, otherwise there will be delayed drying and reduction in gloss.

Emulsion paint is water based with some additives to make it more durable, but can usually be scrubbed off with water and detergent. Enamel paint is solvent based, and permanent. It can only be removed with a solvent. Use emulsion to cover large surfaces cheaply and where you may want to change the colour - use enamel paint (which is much more expensive).
