Product Description

Asian Paints Ace is a water-based exterior emulsion paint built to deliver reliable, long-lasting protection for exterior walls across India's demanding and varied climate conditions. Featuring Asian Paints' proprietary water resistance technology, Ace forms a durable barrier against rain, sun, dust, and humidity — outperforming traditional cement paints in adhesion, colour retention, and resistance to chalking and cracking. With a smooth matte finish and a wide tintable colour palette, it is equally suited to residential homes, apartment complexes, and commercial building facades where appearance and durability both matter.

At 90–110 sq ft per litre, Ace delivers significantly better coverage efficiency than cement paint, reducing the total quantity of paint needed per project and lowering labour time through easier application. Its low-VOC, water-based formulation makes it safer to handle and apply in occupied or partially occupied buildings, with faster drying times compared to solvent-based alternatives. Backed by a 4-year warranty, Ace is Asian Paints' value-positioned exterior emulsion — offering a meaningful step up from cement paint without the premium cost of the Apex range, making it the practical choice for mid-range residential and commercial projects.

FAQs

1) How is Asian Paints Ace better than traditional cement paint for exterior walls?

Cement paint is a basic, low-cost option that offers minimal weather resistance, poor adhesion, and a rough finish that chalks and fades quickly. Asian Paints Ace, as a water-based acrylic emulsion, bonds far more strongly to the substrate, resists chalking and cracking through seasonal cycles, and includes an anti-algal formula and water resistance technology not present in cement paint. It also covers 90–110 sq ft per litre versus cement paint's typically lower coverage, making it more economical per square foot over its 4-year warranted service life.

2) What pack size do I need for a standard home exterior?

A typical independent house exterior has approximately 1,500–2,500 sq ft of paintable wall area. At 90–110 sq ft per litre for two coats, you would need roughly 14–28 litres depending on surface texture and porosity. A combination of 20L and 10L packs is usually the most practical. Always ask your painter to calculate the net paintable area — deducting windows, doors, and plinth — before ordering to avoid waste.

3) Can Ace be applied over existing painted exterior walls, or only on fresh plaster?

Ace can be applied over existing sound, well-adhered exterior paint after appropriate surface preparation — scraping loose or flaking paint, sanding, cleaning, and applying a suitable primer or sealer. For fresh plaster, the wall should be fully cured (typically 28 days minimum) before painting. Do not apply over surfaces with active dampness or seepage — treat the moisture source first with a waterproofing solution before painting.

4) What does the 4-year warranty cover?

The 4-year warranty covers defects in the paint film under normal weathering conditions — including excessive chalking, peeling, and cracking attributable to the paint rather than substrate movement or application errors. To keep the warranty valid, the paint must be applied as per Asian Paints' specified system (correct primer and coats) by a qualified painter. Retain your purchase invoice and contact Asian Paints directly for warranty claims.

5) How does Ace compare to Asian Paints Apex or Apex Ultima Protek — when should I choose Ace instead?

Ace is Asian Paints' value-tier exterior emulsion, while Apex and Apex Ultima Protek are mid and premium tiers respectively. Choose Ace when your budget is moderate and the walls are in good condition without significant cracks or severe dampness — it delivers solid weather and algae resistance with a 4-year warranty. Upgrade to Apex (7-year warranty, better sheen) or Apex Ultima Protek (12-year warranty, 2mm crack bridging, fiber reinforcement) when walls have crack issues, face extreme weather, or when a longer repainting cycle is a priority.
