# Home Painting Process — Prep, Putty, Primer, Finish and Damp-Wall Checks

A painting job that holds past the monsoon is four stages done in order on a sound,
dry surface — prep, putty, primer, then finish coats. We don't skip stages and we
don't paint over a damp wall, because the finish is only ever as good as the surface
under it. Since 2002, we've handled interior and exterior painting across Thane 
and the wider MMR, led by founder Bhawarlal Jyani.

## **The four-stage painting job — none of them are optional**

A real painting job is four stages, in this order:

 * **Prep** — scraping flaking paint to the wall, sanding the underlying surface,
   identifying damp patches that need addressing first.
 * **Putty** — 2 coats of acrylic wall putty (Birla White or JK White Cement based),
   full sanding between coats with 220-grit, then 320-grit before primer.
 * **Primer** — water-based primer matched to the topcoat brand. Brand-matched matters—
   Asian Paints primer for Asian Paints topcoat, Berger for Berger. Mixing brands
   compromises adhesion.
 * **Finish coats** — 2 coats minimum, 3 for darker colours or premium emulsion.
   Full drying time between coats — not "touch-dry," fully cured to manufacturer
   specification.

Skipping any of the four is where short-life paint jobs come from. A quote that 
comes in 30 per cent below the others is almost always skipping prep, putty or primer.

 

## Damp Walls — Why We Won't Paint Over Them

A wall with visible damp, salt deposits, or paint that lifts when scraped is a structural
problem, not a finish problem. The source is upstream — a bathroom waterproofing
failure, external-wall ingress, or a slab leak from the unit above. Painting over
it hides the problem for two to four months; within one monsoon it blisters in the
same spot. The honest sequence is to identify the source, fix it, allow full drying,
then paint — and where the source is a wet area, that fix runs through our [bathroom renovation in Thane](https://jyaniinterior.com/bathroom-renovation/)
work.

 What a Painting Project Includes Wall scraping and surface prep; crack-filling;
2 coats of putty with sanding; 1 coat primer; 2 coats of emulsion; damaged ceilings
re-skimmed before paint; wood polish for built-in furniture (PU, melamine or French
polish per piece); enamel for grills and doors; and a final masking removal, deep
clean and snag walkthrough before handover. Plumbing fittings, switch plates and
floors are protected throughout, and the family's living area is sealed off if they
stay through the work. A 2BHK interior repaint usually takes 6–9 working days; an
exterior elevation 12–18 days depending on access and scaffolding. To get a flat

## Home Painting Process: Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How long does a 2BHK interior repaint take?

6 to 9 working days. Full prep, putty, primer, 2 finish coats, drying time between
coats, final touch-up. A 3BHK runs 10 to 14 days.

Q2: Can my family stay in the flat during painting?

Yes, with a phased schedule. One or two rooms painted at a time, family lives in
the remaining rooms. Bathroom and kitchen painted last so the family is not without
those. Full-flat continuous painting is faster but the family needs to vacate.

Q3: Is repaint needed every few years?

Premium emulsion holds 7 to 8 years in a normal Thane interior. Areas near the bathroom
and kitchen show wear earlier. The right answer is not "repaint every 4 years" —
it is to use the right grade of paint for each zone so the touch-up frequency stays
low.
