Earlier,shaded Synthetic/acrylic Emulsion distemper was available
ReplyDeletein the market.i.e,colourization was done by the company like Asian

dealers themselves on extra charges for the colour.Shaded by the companies themselves was very good;but,now shaded by the dealers are not to our satisfaction.Colouring must be done by the manufacturers
only.
