Paint

Paint systems usually include primer, putty (as needed) and finish coats. Substrate porosity, colour change and sheen affect consumption. Exterior systems need UV and weather resistance.

• Interior walls and ceilings
• Exterior façades
• Metal and wood finishes (product-specific)

• Use coverage rates from the product data sheet when available; calculators allow overrides.
• Number of coats depends on colour change and finish standard.
• Deduct doors/windows or use net wall area methods consistently.
• Surface preparation quality dominates long-term appearance.

Use the dedicated quantity tool for planning estimates. Results are indicative — not a substitute for drawings, BOQs or supplier quotes.

Economy, mid and premium emulsions differ widely. Compare on coverage and warranty claims, not litre price alone. Catalog prices when shown are approximate.

Location rates move with freight, taxes and local supply. Figures below are planning context only — confirm before budgeting.

  MRP vs project rate

  Project packs may differ from retail cans.

• Labour-inclusive painting contracts

  ₹/m²

  Clarify coats, putty and scaffolding.

• Interior emulsion

  Common wall finishes; washability varies by product.

• Exterior emulsion / weather coats

  Formulated for façades.

• Primers & putty

  System components — estimate separately when relevant.

• Enamels / specialty

  Wood, metal and high-humidity areas as specified.

• Plaster
• Waterproofing
• Compare paint SKUs

• Match interior vs exterior product lines.
• Batch numbers for large contiguous walls reduce shade variation.
• Store sealed; note shelf life.
• Dispose leftovers responsibly.

• Plaster

  Cement–sand (or gypsum) coating for walls and ceilings. Thickness and mix differ for internal vs external work.

• Waterproofing

  Systems that reduce water ingress in bathrooms, terraces, basements and exteriors. Product chemistry varies — follow system data sheets.

• Tiles

  Ceramic, vitrified and other tile units for floors and walls. Tile size, layout and wastage drive box counts.
