Asian Paints Royale Wall Base Coat – Luxury Interior Primer

Asian Paints Royale Wall Base Coat: The Perfect Foundation for Luxury

When you invest in a premium paint like Royale, you need a foundation that matches its quality. Asian Paints Royale Wall Base Coat is a specialized, high-performance primer designed exclusively to prepare your interior walls for luxury emulsions. Unlike standard primers, this premium water-based undercoat offers superior whiteness, opacity, and adhesion, ensuring that the final finish looks richer, brighter, and lasts longer.

Asian Paints Royale Wall Base Coat acts as the essential bridge between the wall surface and the topcoat. It seals the porosity of the wall better than ordinary primers, preventing the expensive topcoat from sinking in unevenly. Whether you are applying Royale Shyne, Matt, or Aspira, this base coat provides a uniform, non-absorbent surface that enhances the sheen and true colour of your paint.

Why Choose Asian Paints Royale Wall Base Coat?

Using a basic primer under a luxury paint is like putting cheap tires on a sports car. Here is why upgrading to Asian Paints Royale Wall Base Coat is necessary:

• Superior Whiteness: It provides a brilliant white canvas. This is crucial for bright or pastel shades, as it ensures the true colour of the paint shines through without dullness.
• Enhanced Opacity: It hides minor surface imperfections and patchiness better than standard primers, giving you a flawless finish with fewer topcoats.
• Alkali Resistance: It protects the topcoat from alkali attacks (saltpeter) that can cause peeling and fading over time.

Key Features

• Excellent Adhesion: Bonds strongly to both the substrate (plaster/putty) and the topcoat, preventing flaking.
• Breathable Film: Allows trapped moisture to escape while preventing external water from damaging the paint film.
• Anti-Fungal: Offers better resistance against fungal growth compared to economy primers.
• Smooth Finish: Levels out microscopic roughness in the acrylic wall putty, ensuring the final touch feels silky smooth.
• Environmentally Friendly: Meets Green Assure standards with low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).

Recommended Application Areas

This premium primer is the mandatory first step for:

• Luxury Living Rooms: Where the highest quality finish is required.
• High-Sheen Walls: Creating a reflective base for Royale Luxury Emulsion paints.
• Dark to Light Changes: When painting a light colour over an existing dark wall, its high opacity helps cover the old shade.
