Johnstone's Caribbean Tide Matt Paint - 1.25L

Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply using a brush or roller in even strokes. For optimal results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared.

The paint typically takes 2-4 hours to dry to the touch. However, recoating times will vary, and it's best to allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second, usually after 4-6 hours, depending on ventilation and humidity.

This paint is primarily designed for living, dining, and bedroom areas. While durable, it's not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens. For such areas, a specialized bathroom or kitchen paint would be more suitable, or ensure adequate ventilation and consider a protective sealant.

For general cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. Gently wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.

This matt emulsion is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, previously painted surfaces (emulsion), and lining paper. Ensure surfaces are properly prepared before application.

Johnstone's offers its Matt Emulsion and Feature Wall paints in various sizes, including tester pots and larger cans for significant projects. This specific listing is for a 1.25L can.

Ensure the surface is primed with a suitable white or light-colored primer, especially if painting over a dark color. Apply two full coats of the Caribbean Tide paint for maximum depth and vibrancy. Good lighting in the room will also enhance the color's impact.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Use a high-quality brush or roller and apply in consistent strokes. Make sure the surface was properly prepared and is not too absorbent. Apply a second coat if necessary.

Lighting conditions significantly affect color perception. Test the paint on a small, inconspicuous area first under the actual room lighting. Allow the paint to dry completely, as the color can change slightly as it cures.

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or mold. Glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded. A suitable primer may be required for certain surfaces, like bare plaster or previously painted glossy finishes.

Use a good quality brush and apply thin, even coats. Avoid overloading the brush. For a smoother finish, consider using a roller designed for matt emulsions or a brush with softer bristles. Apply the paint in a consistent direction.
