I just had my apartment painted for 300 riyals + paint + roller heads, but they did a great job and really quick! They were two pakistani guys that I picked up at their shop in Malaz, just need to check if I still have their contact number.

TOP TIP: Get them to take you to buy paint/roller heads, so you don't over-pay!

And buy paint and stuff yourself. Don't let them bring it on their own. They'll try to cut costs through sub-standard paint ripping YOU off.

Yes SACO is a good place; a bit expensive though. Go for Sigma or Jotun (2 good brands here) which you can buy from other places as well.

DON'T buy paint from Saco... Take my advise and buy the paint from where your painter tells you. They will look after you and just to put it in to perspective...

I made the mistake of spending 420 riyals on a shade of white paint at Saco, same volume of paint at their store was 100 riyals. It's a rental I assume, so why spend more!

This guy will treat you right.

really appreciate all your help!!
