⚡ Quick Answer
Indian homes should be repainted every 3–5 years for interiors (depending on paint quality) and every 5–8 years for exteriors. Coastal cities (Mumbai, Chennai, Kochi) need more frequent repainting due to salt and humidity.
Repainting Frequency by Paint Type
| Paint Type | Interior Lifespan | Exterior Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Distemper | 2–3 years | Not for exterior |
| Acrylic Emulsion | 4–5 years | Not for exterior |
| Premium Emulsion (Royale/Impressions) | 7–10 years | Not for exterior |
| Exterior Emulsion (Apex/WeatherCoat) | — | 5–7 years |
| Weathershield/Apex Ultima | — | 8–10 years |
