Many people think that renovating a house by repainting always requires hiring a professional. In reality, if you know the proper steps, homeowners can do it themselves without much difficulty and save tens of thousands of baht, especially for medium-sized homes where labor costs may be several times higher than the cost of paint. This article covers every step in one place, from preparing the walls, filling cracks, and applying primer to techniques for achieving a beautiful finish and choosing shades that suit Thai-style homes, along with recommendations for effective products.<\/p>\n
House-painting labor costs in Thailand generally range from 15\u201335 baht per square meter, depending on the area and number of floors. A 150-square-meter house will have labor costs of approximately 8,000\u201315,000 baht, excluding the cost of paint and materials. If you paint the house yourself, you can save the entire labor cost, leaving only the cost of paint and equipment, which is much lower. This is suitable for one- or two-story homes that are not excessively tall, interior wall work that does not require climbing scaffolding, or situations where you want to save money while still achieving good paint quality.<\/span><\/p>\n Essential Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n Additional Equipment to Help Speed Up the Work<\/strong><\/p>\n Preparing the walls properly is the key to a long-lasting paint job. If this step is skipped, the paint may not adhere properly, peel, or bubble within just a few years.<\/p>\n Before painting, always inspect the walls for cracks, joints, or gaps of various sizes so that you can choose the appropriate filling material.<\/p>\n Recommended crack-filling products from Beger: Choose the right one for the type of crack.<\/strong><\/p>\n After filling the cracks and allowing them to dry completely, sand the wall with 80\u2013120 grit sandpaper to smooth the surface and improve paint adhesion. Then brush off the dust and wipe with a damp cloth before applying primer<\/p>\n The answer is: Always apply primer<\/strong>Especially for old or damp walls, primer improves the adhesion of the topcoat, reduces absorption, and prevents alkaline stains from coming through and discoloring the surface paint<\/p>\n Recommended Beger primers for different wall conditions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Interior walls are not directly exposed to sunlight and rain, so the focus is on choosing colors you like and easy cleaning. Exterior walls require paint that is waterproof, resistant to UV rays, and flexible enough to accommodate the expansion and contraction of concrete in Thailand\u2019s hot, humid climate.<\/p>\n The general standard is 1 coat of primer + 2 coats of topcoat. Surfaces requiring high durability or a color change from dark to light (or vice versa) may require 3 coats of topcoat. Applying too few coats can result in thin paint, premature yellowing, and an uneven color.<\/p>\n Comparing Water-Based and Oil-Based House Paint<\/strong><\/p>\n Before choosing paint, it is important to understand that each type is suitable for different applications.<\/p>\n
