Hi... desparil...

I was told that for new house, it is better to use Maxilite as the first layer as it may help to smooth some of those uneven surface. Then only paint another layer of paint of your preference.

Hope it helps or try it out if it helps... :-P

use emulsion paint eg maxilite as first layer undercoat and then finish with 2 layers of color. undercoat lets you save more finish paint.

you can read painting guidelines form the paint catalog

yup thats true.

last time i paint my house no undercoat.. then i had to buy lots of finishing color to complete the task.

but if ur color is dark already (like dark blue or something), then no need to use undercoat is ok..

but if the color u choose is on the bright side, better have a undercoat.
