Asian Paints Ace, Colour

Asian Paints Ace Exterior Emulsion is India’s trusted value-tier exterior wall paint, engineered for resilience against the full range of Indian weather conditions ? heavy monsoon rain, harsh summer sun, dust, and humidity. Featuring water resistance technology, an anti-algal formula, and superior surface adhesion, Ace delivers a smooth matte finish that resists chalking, peeling, and biological growth across a 4-year warranted service life. At 90?110 sq ft per litre on smooth surfaces, it offers better coverage efficiency than traditional cement paint, reducing both material cost and application labour. Available in 1L, 4L, 10L, and 20L pack sizes and over 1,000 Asian Paints exterior colour shades, it is equally suited to new constructions and repaints.

Ace is the practical choice for homeowners, small builders, and contractors who need reliable exterior protection without the premium cost of the Apex range. Its low-VOC, water-based formulation dries to a touch in approximately 30 minutes and is ready for a second coat within 3?4 hours, keeping painting schedules efficient. The smooth matte finish enhances curb appeal with a non-reflective, refined look, and bonds well to existing Ace layers as well as other brand coatings ? making it an easy choice for periodic exterior repaints on any surface type.

Application Guidelines

Step-by-Step Application

Prepare the surface ? remove dust, loose material, and efflorescence. Repair cracks and treat damp patches before painting.
Apply a compatible exterior primer (recommended for bare plaster and highly porous surfaces).
Apply the first coat of Ace using a brush, roller, or spray at the recommended consistency ? dilute with water only as specified on the tin.
Allow to dry for 3?4 hours before applying the second coat.
Apply the second coat for maximum vibrance, coverage, and protection.
Clean brushes and rollers with soap and water immediately after use ? being water-based, Ace cleans up easily before drying.

Weather & Climate Protection

Built for Indian exterior conditions

Monsoon Rain Resistance: Water-resistant film prevents rain-driven moisture from penetrating the wall surface and causing dampness or seepage.

UV & Sun Protection: Resists chalking and colour fade caused by intense UV exposure during peak summer months.

Anti-Algal in Humid Climates: Active formula suppresses algae and fungal colonies that thrive in high-humidity and coastal environments.

Crack & Peel Resistance: Superior adhesion and flexible film prevent cracking and peeling through seasonal temperature and moisture cycles.
