tamaltree, There are a few types of wood that don't take paint well. Heavy oily woods, like teak are the kind I mean. Most other kinds of wood will, so long as it is dry, clean and has a slightly rough surface for the paint to adhere to. If you are not a professional or an advanced amateur, don't try for the lacquer. It is toxic and highly flammable. Is that the information you were after?

house is good in white. ensure you choose off white colour such as cotton woll and not brilliant white whike repainting. Gate in black. boundary wall in mud colour. overall it would look like a spanish villa. only thing missing is a big olive tree or a palm tree

Sujithra, Components used in these paints are different. PU is more lasting than DUCO. Finish wise also PU is slightly better but at almost double the cost. For heavy usage/movement PU is recommended. If its vertical application in Pooja Room, either is good enough. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

hi you can also try by adding pure white colour in iced grey and making lighter for 2nd coat
