@marvellouslondon6 wanted to know how much the paint cost, and Dintle responded:

"The 2l white paint was R398, and the 1l grey was R250 at Builders. I got more white because I was painting the rest of the house as well. But I’d advise you to get 2l grey and 1l white. Don’t forget varnish for the TV stand."
