Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 26, 2019 6:55 am Builder wants to charge me $2k extra for water based enamel for internal skirts and architraves. Does this sound right. Would had thought everything about water based is quicker and easier than oil based. Re: Paint 2Oct 26, 2019 10:35 am The painters have their cheap set plans with most builders, once you step outside of the plan then they charge like wounded bulls. I was quoted $1000 to paint one of my rooms a different colour then the rest of the house. Needless to say I didn't accept the quote. Go to an actual paint store, not bunnings. Dulux even have trade centers. Don't have to be a trade to but their paint. 1 14070 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 3622 Thank you. That is really helpful. Once we get the place done and passed for OC we can upgrade in the future once we get back on our feet and not paying mortgage and rent. 4 3995 |
