This page collects resident experience about wall paint and small wall repairs in Unity Dorm. It is not an official recommendation by the dorm management.

Residents have reported the following 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.

In general, look for:

* white interior wall paint * matt or dull matt finish * no glossy or silk-gloss latex paint * ideally wet abrasion class 3 or better

If you cannot get the exact Brillux or Prosol paint, residents may look for similar matt white interior wall paints.

Possible HORNBACH alternatives:

* MODULAN 3001 DIN-Objektweiß — probably the closest practical alternative for larger areas * MODULAN 3103 Rapid matt white — higher-quality option with stronger coverage * HORNBACH Wand- und Deckenfarbe konservierungsmittelfrei weiß — solid general-purpose option * HORNBACH Meister Polarweiss Plus or Alpinaweiß — premium white paints, but the shade may be visibly different

Avoid:

* glossy paint * silk-gloss latex paint * very cheap low-coverage paint * special mineral/silicate paint unless you know the wall already uses that type of paint

Before repainting, try cleaning first.

Suggested order:

* Dry microfiber cloth * Slightly damp cloth with a tiny amount of dish soap * White eraser or dirt eraser / magic sponge * Small touch-up paint * Repaint the whole wall if many spots are visible

Be careful with dirt erasers. They work by light abrasion and can make matt wall paint look brighter, smoother or patchy. Always test in a hidden spot first and do not rub too hard.

For very small spots, products like Molto S.O.S. Easy Wandfarbe weiß matt can be useful. It has a small roller and is meant for small wall repairs.

However, touch-ups can still remain visible because white paint changes over time. Even the same color may look different after drying.

If there are many spots on one wall, it often looks better to repaint the whole wall from corner to corner instead of touching up many separate points.

For small holes:

* Fill the hole with wall filler. * Let it dry completely. * Sand it carefully. * Remove dust. * Paint over it with matt white wall paint.

Do not paint directly over open holes, dust or loose material.

If your room is already mostly clean, consider asking the Hausmeister / caretaker to take a quick look before repainting everything.

In some cases, cleaning or small touch-ups may be enough. Repainting badly can cause more problems than leaving a mostly clean wall as it is.

* Protect the floor, furniture, sockets and window frames. * Use painter's tape for clean edges. * Stir the paint well before using it. * Use thin layers instead of one thick layer. * Keep a wet edge while rolling. * Remove painter's tape before the paint is fully dry. * Let the paint dry completely before judging the color. * Use the same paint and batch for one continuous wall if possible.

* Best known paint from current resident information: Brillux Intromatt 954, white, dull matt * Another paint mentioned in group chats: Prosol Objektweiß ELF * Closest practical HORNBACH alternative: MODULAN 3001 DIN-Objektweiß * For tiny spots: clean first, then consider Molto S.O.S. Easy Wandfarbe weiß matt * Use dirt erasers carefully, because they can damage or brighten matt wall paint * Ask the Hausmeister before repainting if you are unsure
