My friend wants to repaint the outside of his house, he used the exterior paint in Thailand he bought from Homepro but it does not adhere to the wall as as the wall is dusty as if it was a distemper type wash proir ?

He wants to know the best way to seal the wall so it can be repainted with new type of paint, or if it is best to get another distemper type paint.

Any advise and recomendations on the manafactures and product names of what he needs would be most welcome.

Jotun, or International paints, both high quality international brands and freely available in Thailand

We used Dulux all weather on 4 houses we have & had The paint is superb.

The best primer will be a clear contact primer The stinkier the better.

If the surface is dusty like you say, you will need a primer designed for old cement first. Dulux make a very good one, which goes on clear and seals very well.

After that, a lot depends on how much you want to spend - pretty much all brands are very good in their top of range paint, and pretty average in their bottom of range paint. One of the more expensive Dulux or TOA paints are our go-to's when we don't want to be repainting anytime soon.

Just curious if your crews thin out the paint 50% according to Thai painting 101?
