Errr.... Don't think you can change the colour, coz the common area belongs to HDB. You can only use back the same shade and colour, that means, the milky colour currently that is there.

Ok lor. I have seen our common area patched up here and there with paint. If they didn't paint the whole area, you can see the old and new paint on the same wall.

I think those are loanshark that doing their art lesson :paint: on the wall so people help them to clean up...

Eh.. seriously lah.. think about it lah..

If u hao xin go and plaster swee swee then paint back same colour, I am sure town council wun make an issue out of it lah.

As long as your action dun increase town council maintenance cost, and actually beautify the place.. why would town council make an issue out of it?

Just don't do it when got town council ppl ard lah, if not the staff also bo pian need to put report up.

If kena commented later on, just say dunno whose dog pee pee the wall, so u clean up the wall mah.

If they ask u restore back, then u ask them come back lor.

I wld be using those luxury finish paint .. those anti dust type.. then long time no dusty stain.

Every year b4 CNY, my ex-neighbour will go ask the Town council for the paints(of course is FOC, provided by the Town council themselves) and he will paint the wall himself. Another friend of mine even asked the Town council ppl to install a tempered glass(FOC) outside her unit as after raining, the floor will always get wet and slippery which is a safety hazard to her family.
