FAQs

Can I use this paint in bathrooms?

While this paint is durable, it is primarily designed for standard interior walls and ceilings. For bathrooms with high humidity, a specialist kitchen and bathroom paint is recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is fast-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on room temperature and humidity.

Is this paint suitable for wood?

This emulsion is specifically formulated for walls and ceilings and is not recommended for wood or metal surfaces.

How many coats do I need?

Typically, two coats are sufficient for excellent coverage, though very dark surfaces may require a third coat or a primer.

How do I clean my tools?

As this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean brushes and rollers using warm soapy water immediately after use.

Can I use this over old paint?

Yes, provided the old paint is sound and not flaking. Ensure the old surface is cleaned and sanded lightly to provide a key for the new paint.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks or roller lines

Ensure you are using the correct pile roller for the surface and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.

Paint is peeling or flaking

This is usually caused by painting onto a dirty or dusty surface; sand the affected area, clean it thoroughly, and reapply.

Uneven color or 'flashing'

This often occurs due to inconsistent application or an unprimed, porous substrate; apply an additional coat for uniform coverage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality matte finish
  • Excellent opacity and coverage
  • Easy to apply for both DIYers and pros
  • Effective at masking minor wall imperfections
  • Durable and wipeable

Cons

  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces
  • Matte finish can sometimes be less stain-resistant than glossier paints
  • Proper ventilation required during application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paint, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. If painting onto fresh plaster, ensure it is completely dry and primed correctly. Use a high-quality primer if you are covering a dark or porous surface to ensure color accuracy. For maintenance, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; instead, wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Always keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the emulsion from drying out in the container.
