Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Emulsion Paint - Beige - 2.5L

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability, especially if you are painting over a contrasting color. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

While specifically formulated for kitchens, its durable and easy-clean properties make it suitable for other high-traffic areas like utility rooms or bathrooms, provided the surface is properly prepared.

Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Tough Paint is quick-drying. Touch dry times are usually within 1-2 hours, and it's typically ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for exact timings.

Yes, its formulation is designed for easy cleaning. Spills and marks can be easily wiped away with a soft, damp cloth and, if needed, a mild detergent, without damaging the matt finish.

The anti-bacterial agent in the paint inhibits the growth of common bacteria on the painted surface, contributing to a more hygienic environment in your kitchen, especially important in areas where food is prepared.

For most sound, previously painted surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary. However, for new plaster, bare surfaces, or very porous walls, applying a suitable primer or a diluted 'mist coat' of this paint will improve adhesion and ensure a more even finish.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and smooth. Apply paint evenly with a high-quality brush or roller, maintaining a 'wet edge' to prevent lap marks. Avoid overspreading the paint or applying too thickly. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

The surface may not have been clean, dry, or properly prepped. Ensure old paint is sound and dull (sand glossy surfaces). For new plaster or porous surfaces, a suitable primer or mist coat may be required. Remove any loose or peeling paint before repainting.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply the recommended number of coats (typically two). Underlying dark colors may require an additional coat or a primer/base coat. Lighting conditions can also affect perceived color.

This can be caused by applying paint too quickly, painting in direct sunlight, or high humidity. Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of moisture. Apply paint in optimal temperature and humidity conditions, and avoid overworking the paint with the roller or brush.
