Hello builders, homeowners, and do-it-yourself enthusiasts,
I am deciding whether to have my nearly completed house painted with silicate paint by the construction company, as stated in the purchase contract, or to paint it myself and receive a credit of 2000 €.
The question is: what is worth it?
The surface area to be painted is about 206 m² (2215 sq ft).
I can get scaffolding free of charge!
At first, I looked at a silicate paint from Brillux.
Then a friend told me that the store brand Renovo (from Hagebaumarkt) is actually made by Brillux.
Does anyone have experience with this or can provide more information?
Could Renovo’s silicate paint be of good quality?
If so, it might be worthwhile to paint it myself, since the Brillux paint is quite expensive.
What would be a reasonable estimate of the cost to paint about 206 m² (2215 sq ft) with a good quality paint, including priming?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I’m bringing this thread back because we are facing a similar situation, but prices from 2016 are probably no longer at all realistic. The house painting is not included in our contract, so we have to handle it ourselves. The painter who is applying the exterior plaster offered to paint the house for $4,500 net including materials. The area is about 220m2 (2,368 ft2). Is that expensive? Unfortunately, I have no way to estimate this. The house will be painted in a light color without many decorative details.
Thank you very much.
