⚡ Quick Answer
Indian homes should be repainted every 3–5 years for interiors (depending on paint quality) and every 5–8 years for exteriors. Coastal cities (Mumbai, Chennai, Kochi) need more frequent repainting due to salt and humidity.

| Paint Type | Interior Lifespan | Exterior Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Distemper | 2–3 years | Not for exterior |
| Acrylic Emulsion | 4–5 years | Not for exterior |
