Product Description
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.
Key Features
- Weather-Resistant Protection: Shields exterior walls from sun, rain, and dust — resists chalking, cracking, and colour fade through seasonal cycles.
- Anti-Algal & Anti-Fungal Formula: Active biocide prevents algae and mould growth that cause black spotting on exterior walls in humid and coastal climates.
- Superior Adhesion: Strong surface bond minimises peeling and flaking, even on previously painted or slightly imperfect substrates.
- Smooth Matte Finish: Non-reflective, elegant finish enhances exterior aesthetics while concealing minor surface imperfections.
- Low VOC Eco-Friendly Formula: Water-based, lead-free formulation — safe for applicators, building occupants, and the surrounding environment.

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.

FAQs
1) How is Asian Paints Ace better than traditional cement paint for exterior walls?
Cement paint is a basic, low-cost option with poor adhesion, minimal weather resistance, and a rough chalky finish that fades and deteriorates 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 if needed. For fresh plaster, allow a minimum of 28 days of full curing 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, and how do I make a claim?
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 incorrect application. To keep the warranty valid, the paint must be applied as per Asian Paints' specified system using compatible primer and correct coat thickness. Retain your purchase invoice and contact Asian Paints directly for warranty claims.
5) How does Ace compare to Asian Paints Apex Colour or Apex Ultima in the exterior range?
Ace is Asian Paints' value-tier exterior emulsion with a 4-year warranty and solid basic protection — the right choice when budget is the priority and walls are in good condition. Apex Colour (6-year warranty) adds Nano-Block dust-proof technology and better colour retention. Apex Ultima (8-year warranty) adds dust guard and a more comprehensive protection package. Apex Ultima Protek (12-year warranty) adds fiber reinforcement and 2mm crack bridging for demanding applications. Choose Ace for straightforward repaints and budget-conscious new construction; upgrade to the Apex tiers when longer warranty cycles or specific protection features are required.
