- Emulsion (Plastic Paint): Durable, washable paint ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. Coverage: ~120-130 sq. ft/liter.
- Enamel: Oil-based paint used for detailed woodwork, doors, and creating washable surfaces.
- Weather Shield: Specifically designed for exterior walls to withstand harsh Pakistani weather conditions.
Calculation Tips
