How to decide
Outside surfaces in the Gwalior region take heat, dust and monsoon rain, and that is where Luxol earns its place. Inside, conditions are milder, and Butterfly gives a neat gloss on a budget. Whichever you choose, the primer and surface preparation decide how long it lasts: clean off rust, prime metal the same day, and lightly sand old enamel before recoating.
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Questions to settle before you buy either one
- Is the wall inside or outside, and how much sun and rain does it take?
- Is the surface sound, or does it need crack repair, damp treatment or putty first?
- How long do you want to go before the next repaint?
- Do you want matt, soft sheen or gloss, and how smooth is the wall?
- Will the room or surface need regular cleaning?
Answering these usually decides the product more clearly than price alone. Bring the answers to our Gwalior store, or share them on WhatsApp, and we will suggest the right product and quantity.
