Wall Paint
This page collects resident experience about wall paint used in the dorm. It is not an official recommendation by the dorm management.
Reported paint
Residents have reported the following wall paints:
- Brillux Intromatt 954, white / weiß, dull matt / stumpfmatt
- Prosol Objektweiß ELF — mentioned several times in resident group chats, possibly especially for Unity Beta
The strongest current reference is a photo of a Brillux Intromatt 954 bucket in white.
Small repairs
For small marks, scratches or blemishes, it may be enough to clean the wall or touch up only the affected area.
Some residents use small repair products such as Molto S.O.S. Easy Wandfarbe Weiß matt with an integrated touch-up roller. This can be useful for small spots, but the color may still look slightly different depending on the wall and lighting.
Before moving out
If your room is already mostly clean, consider asking the Hausmeister / caretaker to take a quick look before repainting the whole room. In some cases, repainting may not be necessary.
Painting yourself
Residents usually paint small areas or rooms themselves, but be careful:
- protect the floor and furniture
- do not spill paint
- use matte white wall paint
- avoid glossy paint
- do not paint sockets, switches, windows or furniture
- let the paint dry properly before inspection
Costs
Residents reported that having the room painted by the dorm / a service provider may cost around 400 €, but this is not officially confirmed.
