Paint — frequently asked questions

How much is a gallon of paint in Uganda?

A gallon of quality paint in Uganda typically starts from UGX 45,000, with premium brands and textured finishes costing more. See the CIS Price Index for current rates.

How much paint do I need for a 3-bedroom house?

A 3-bedroom house usually needs 4–6 gallons per coat for interior and 3–5 gallons for exterior, depending on surface area. Always allow for two coats and primer.

Which paint brand is best in Uganda?

Plascon and Crown Berger are the most established brands. Regal and NIM offer good value. For exterior walls, choose a dedicated exterior grade with weather resistance.

Do I need a primer?

Yes — a primer or undercoat improves adhesion and coverage, especially on fresh plaster. Skipping primer often leads to uneven colour and higher topcoat usage.
