HOW TO USE THE
Choose your colours

Its time to take the first simple step towards making your home beautiful. See how colours and textures combine interestingly to transform your home.
GUIDE.
Choose your paints

Once youve chosen your favourite colours and textures, you need to find out which paints you need for different surfaces and how much they cost.
Get started!
Now that you are ready to begin painting - this section will help you find tips and advice on painting and caring for your paint.
CHOOSE
COLOURS.
Paint your walls in exciting ways. There's a whole variety of colours, textures and interesting wall patterns to choose from. And while youre at it, find out what you can do to protect and enhance the look of your windows, doors and furniture.
YOUR
YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOME,
YOUR COLOUR.
Every day is lovely when you wake up to your favourite colour. Pick your favourite shade and paint your home in that colour.
TWICE
Whether its a pretty pink or a classy blue, colour can really liven up your home and announce your attitude. But why stop at one? Combine two colours in interesting ways and see how your home comes to life.
COLOURS. ITS
Use an accent colour with a texture or pattern for one wall and let the other walls in the room take a colour that matches well.
TWO
AS NICE.
MAKE ONE WALL A FEATURE WALL

Look around you and see which wall stands out from the rest. Paint this wall a dominant colour and give it a texture or pattern. This wall will become your feature wall and the main point of attraction in the room. The remaining three walls can now be painted with a matching colour. Do this for each room.
Choose the wall with the least clutter and the most visibility. Ideally, a wall that has no doors or windows.
Once you've decided on a wall, you can begin choosing the colours and textures for your feature wall.
IMPACT OF LIGHT AND COLOUR

Light can really change the way your room looks. Warm yellow bulbs will give the room a cosy atmosphere while white lights will create a fresh, airy feel. Choose lights that go with your colours. Dark colours work really well in large rooms with good daylight, while light colours make smaller rooms look bigger than they are. Be sure to keep this in mind when choosing a colour.
CHOOSING COLOUR COMBINATIONS.

You like blue. But which colour goes best with it? Use the Colour Combination Card to find out. This is a simple tool which will help you choose colour combinations for your rooms.

GET STARTED
BEFORE
PAINTING
What to do before applying paint?
CHECKLIST
Interior Surfaces
New Painting
The wall surfaces should be cured well before painting. For interior surfaces curing of 6 months is recommended for best results. For best performance of your paint, check whether the wall surface is alkaline (ph value less than 11) with a ph paper. Check for microbial growth. Look out for structural cracks. If present, re-plaster the area. Check for seepage or leakage. If present arrest it at the source with the help of a efficient plumber. Look for undulations on wall.
BEFORE PAINTING.
Use the checklist below to prepare your walls before painting.
Exterior Surfaces
New Painting
The wall surfaces should be cured well before painting. For exterior surfaces curing of 35 days is recommended. For best paint performance, check whether the wall surface is alkaline (ph value less than 11) with a ph paper. Check for seepage or leakage. If present, arrest it at the source with the help of a efficient plumber. Check for cracks on the wall surface. Structural cracks should be filled with cement and sand mixed in 1:3 ratio. Check for porous chalky wall surfaces. Use exterior primer or exterior sealer to remedy this.
Dampness on the walls?

First, check to see if there is dampness on the wall surface from water seepage. If you find any dampness, repair the leaking pipes and other sources of moisture.
How to get rid of surface irregularities?

Walls sometimes have holes, dents or cracks. To get a smooth perfect finish fill these up with a mixture of cement and sand.
What to keep in mind while repainting?

In case you are painting your home again make sure that the old paint is removed from the walls with sandpaper. If you apply new plaster, give it 7-21 days so that it dries properly and smoothes out. Paint only after that.
Repainting
If the old paint is loose, scrape it off with a wire brush. Check for leakage, seepage or microbial growth. Look out for cracks on the wall and get them filled.
Repainting
Check for loose particles on the wall surfaces. Wash it off with a strong jet of water. If the old paint is loose or chalky, scrape it off with a wire brush. Look out for holes and cracks on the wall surface. Fill it with cement and sand mixed in 1:3 ratio. Check for porous chalky wall surfaces. Use exterior primer or exterior sealer to remedy this. For sound & smooth surfaces, exterior primer may not be required.
PAINTING PROCESS
THE
PAINTING
AFTER
Like with most things, the life of your paint can increase with proper care and maintenance.
How to keep your wall fresh and clean?

How to protect your furniture and appliances ?
Cover all your electrical points. Cover furniture with tarpaulin or newspapers. Use masking tape to prevent paint spilling over.
How to protect your exterior walls?

Over time exterior walls can crack and expand to allow small plants to grow between them. Employ a good civil contractor to check them for wear and tear and fix problem areas. Dust from traffic can dull your walls. A light water wash is the best solution for this. Choose a paint with high dust resistance to keep your exteriors like new.
How to take special care of your doors and windows?

Good looking doors and windows can really add to the overall look of your home. Care for them just like you would for your walls. The hot sun can cause enamel paint on your windows, doors and grills to lose its gloss. Its a good idea to apply a single coat of paint once in every 2 years.
How to correctly dilute the paint ?

Before paint is applied it must be diluted with either water (for walls) or Mineral Turpentine Oil (for doors, windows and grills). See the Directions for Use on each paint can for exact dilution and drying time.
How important is ventilation?

Make sure there is good ventilation while painting. Keep your doors and windows open.
It is a good idea to clean your indoor walls regularly to keep them fresh looking. You can wipe off stains caused due to sauce, tea etc. with a piece of cloth soaked in detergent solution. Needless to say, you need to clean the stains as soon as the damage is done.
