hi familyof4, we did speak to Jason, it is used as intermediate coat.

we saw the the tincan it is jotunplast max, an economy paint for interior walls.

For painting, there is usually a primer (sealant or base coat), followed by an intermediate coat and a top coat.

From the looks of it, ours is like an intermediate coat.

jotun have a multicolor system which have up to 2000 color codes available in the market. which means whatever paint we want say in brand A, Jotun will have it.

different brands have different properties, i'm not sure if it goes well with a top coat from other brand.

Dunno if this helps to reassure u? :)

Saw the jotun and lots of smaller ICI tins when i went up to my house just now, they were left there by the workers cos my house still pending some touch ups. i accidentally dirtied my wall w my ladder, so took a wet tissue and wipe the walls, dirt went off and the wet patch dried up after a while. I didnt specifically picked easy-clean paint, i went along with colors that matches my theme rather, so i have no idea if that was easy wash.

As for Nippon or ICI, quotation was Nippon, but i specifically told jason i wanted ICI. i have personal copies of both Nippon and ICI books, so had already been choosing my colors long b4 we came to the paint picking period. :)
