Are there painters that can produce quality paints?

Someone introduced me to a painter that said he can produce paint that will match the quality of princess paint. He charged me 17k per drum.

Grateful to Be Alive – A Cautionary Story

Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. All I can say is thank God I’m alive and back home. What I went through yesterday in Port Harcourt is still hard for me to believe.

Last week, a client reached out, saying he had a job for me. We discussed the project, came to an agreement that worked for him, and he asked me to come on Saturday — which happened to be election day. I told him I’d need part of my workmanship fee upfront so I could come with my boys, check out the site, and prepare properly. He refused, saying he couldn’t send money since we hadn’t worked together before. He promised to refund me if I found a way to get there.

Desperate to secure the job, I took a loan — with my dad standing as guarantor — and traveled to Port Harcourt by night bus on Sunday, hoping to get there early Monday morning. Unfortunately, the journey was delayed and I arrived late at night. I tried calling the client, but his phone was off, so I checked into a cheap hotel.

By 5 a.m., he finally called and said he’d be busy until 10 a.m. Later, he sent someone he claimed was his cousin to pick me up. As we were heading to the site, we were suddenly stopped by two men who started harassing us. Before I could understand what was happening, more men appeared. I realized too late that something was wrong.

I tried to fight my way out, but they overpowered me and beat me up. When I looked around, the supposed "cousin" was gone. That’s when it hit me: it was all a setup.

They took my phone and demanded my father's number. I explained that my family is just managing and I even had to borrow money to make the trip. They contacted my brother and demanded ₦5 million. I laughed — not because it was funny, but because it was absurd. Where would we even get such an amount?

Eventually, they extorted ₦200,000 from my brother and dumped me in the bush with my face covered and nothing but my shorts. Before leaving, they gave me ₦1,000.

Please, let this be a warning to those of us who risk traveling for jobs without knowing the full picture. If a client can’t even send you transport fare, think twice. Don’t put yourself in debt or danger. Right now, my dad and I are in debt of ₦300,000 — not including interest.

Despite everything, I’m still available for work. I’m still your humble guy — CM Interiors. This experience won’t stop me, but I had to share it. Stay safe out there.

Sorry about your experience Bro.

May Almighty God, continue to guide & protect us.

He probably would do as he promised. That brand of paint belongs to the budget grade ideal for internal use where durability is concerned.
Painters outsource to people who mix, it's no new thing. Although it may be manually done or with mixer and they may miss up on specific additives with certain functions but with sufficient binder, it would stay on.
I would suggest you do quality as good as eagle, president or berger paint for durability.
Once painter supplies and do the application, he is the jury and the judge. He can apply it in four coats if they didn't mix quality product for him but because he can't complain to the client and the quantity can't be foolproof verified. I've mentioned some of the tricks painters use here.
But if he is trustworthy, you should tell him to compare in higher grades for external use.
I'm always available also for good quality paints at very good price.

sorry for all u went through however i blame you 100%. The gaslighters association of property section has made some of you here to believe that only scammers ask for advance payment before work right? Anything that has to do with construction the client must pay first, a good amount not just 50k or are you that desperate to spend your money to work for another person. You have the skills and expertise that is enough for you. If the client is too broke or doesn’t trust you then let him go. Stop sourcing for clients in broke places like nairaland and facebook get into platforms where you will meet rich clients who are at the top of their game bro. Any skills is enough to make you a millionaire if you know how to monitize it properly. Oloshos are charging 500k to 2m per night for doing nothing then you with a hardcore skill is letting one gaslighter tell you he can’t trust you? Haaa bro you really goofed up man but thank God you are alive to give the testimony.
The days of rich clients on nairaland was when there was no TikTok and instagram but today bro up your game. I ve worked for a certain love-vendor close to an A list artist, bro made his upfront payment to my kuda account and it got locked, funds choke. No dey run things with brokies, ask for update if you dont have it instead of seeing benz drivers and calling them ritualists. You wan suffer die?

Hello guys.

I need advice pls
I have this small area I wish to convert to an outdoors kitchen, strictly for commercial cooking. I'm converting my car lot area, with concrete floors, and fenced. The total area is 30 feet by 7 feet. Also hoping to get a common room and a store from the it.

Pls how do I go about this?

Use the attached photos to gain inspiration. It is a simple thing to achieve. You have a roof and floor already. Get a bricklayer. You need an outdoor kitchen with countertop.

If you are baking bread or pizza as well, you need to introduce a bake oven. Introduce the storage at the end of the fence.

Your neighbor at that side of the fence might start complaining if you bother him with noise, heat and smoke .
Then they will involve the environmental and health agency.
These agencies are also likely to come on their own. It might not be your neighbors telling on you.
Then they will ask you to bring you permit that shows your house is commercial and not residential
Then they will also show you evidence of environmental impact from your activities.
Next, they might either seal or extort you on an ongoing basis.

Solution;
Proceed with caution
Be friendly with your neighbors
If neighbors complain to you, listen and don’t wave them off. Proffer solution like using gas instead of charcoal or firewood.
Don’t put up any permanent structure for now. You can get a carpenter to do a small wood cabin for storage.
Are you planning to send your waste water to public gutter or septic tank within the compound? That would be another issue with neighbors.
Good luck!

Please consider the possibility of COPD. No height will prevent the residual damage by smoke. Especially, if the wind direction is against you, the effect might even more on your side than theirs.

Top of the day chiefs,
I am in the process of plastering my sock away pit and the engineer is saying I should plaster both sides, I used to think I only have to plaster the place where the waste is going to. Kindly note that 6 inches vibrated blocks were used to build it. Is this correct??

Thanks

Yes you should plaster it to keep the blocks strong for more durability. The only place you shouldn't plaster or close is the weep holes. Water will be seeping out through the holes, not through the block.

Good morning to this wonderful house.

Please can those who know more about wall designing tell me the pros and cons of them. Maintenance, durability etc.

I intend using it but don't know much about it.
Attached is a photo.

Thank you very much chief!
