Typical 2BHK: How Much Paint?
A standard 2BHK flat in Gurgaon (900-1200 sq ft carpet area) has roughly 2,500-3,500 sq ft of paintable wall and ceiling area. You'll need approximately 6-8 litres of primer, 12-16 litres of paint (2 coats), and 30-40 kg of wall putty. These are estimates — actual quantities depend on wall condition, colour choice (darker colours need more coats), and whether you're doing ceilings.
Budget Painting: Rs 25,000 - 40,000
Economy paint (Asian Paints Tractor or Berger Rangoli), one coat of putty (touch-up only), one coat primer, two coats paint. Labour: Rs 12,000-18,000. Material: Rs 12,000-20,000. Best for rental properties, quick refreshes, and tight budgets. The finish won't be showroom-quality but looks clean and lasts 2-3 years.
Standard Painting: Rs 45,000 - 75,000
Mid-range paint (Asian Paints Apcolite or Berger Easy Clean), full putty (2 coats), proper primer coat, two coats paint. Labour: Rs 20,000-30,000. Material: Rs 25,000-45,000. This is what most homeowners in Gurgaon choose — a good-looking, washable finish that lasts 4-5 years. Walls come out smooth and even.
Premium Painting: Rs 80,000 - 1,30,000
Premium paint (Asian Paints Royale or Berger Silk), full POP leveling, two coats putty, sanding, dedicated primer, two-three coats of premium paint. Labour: Rs 30,000-45,000. Material: Rs 50,000-85,000. Mirror-smooth walls with rich colour depth and excellent washability. The finish lasts 6-8 years and looks noticeably superior.
How to Save Without Cutting Corners
Never skip primer — it saves 15-20% paint and improves adhesion. Consider premium paint for high-traffic areas (living room, kitchen) and standard paint for bedrooms and ceilings. Buy paint in 20-litre buckets instead of 4-litre cans for 8-12% savings per litre. Get all materials from one source — HandyPanda delivers paint, primer, putty, and POP across Gurgaon in under 60 minutes.
