How to decide
The deciding factor is the wall. If you see fine cracks that open and close with Gwalior’s heat, an elastomeric coating like Flexo bridges them better. If the plaster is sound, Champ protects well and leaves budget for proper surface preparation, which matters as much as the paint. On multi-storey buildings, where scaffolding is costly, longer life is often worth paying for.
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?
