Product Information

Full details

The Johnstone's Antique White Matt Emulsion Tester Pot is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to accurately preview wall colors before committing to larger paint purchases. This 75ml tester allows you to evaluate how Antique White interacts with your room's specific lighting and existing decor, offering a smooth, non-reflective finish that helps mask minor surface imperfections. While highly convenient for color matching, please note that the small volume is strictly for sample testing rather than covering significant wall areas.

FAQs

Can I use this for small touch-ups?

While intended for testing, the formula is the same as the full-size emulsion, so it can be used for very minor touch-ups if the color match is exact.

How many coats should I apply for a test?

We recommend two coats to achieve the true depth and opacity of the color.

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is specifically formulated for both walls and ceilings.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, though total time depends on room humidity and temperature.

Do I need to prime the surface before testing?

For most surfaces, a direct application is fine, but for highly porous or dark surfaces, a primer will yield a more accurate color representation.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or thin

Ensure you are applying at least two coats and that you have shaken the pot thoroughly before use to mix the pigments.

Color looks different than the label

Paint colors shift significantly depending on ambient lighting and surrounding decor; evaluate the patch at different times of the day.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates guesswork by allowing real-world testing of the color
  • Provides a professional, non-reflective matt finish
  • Easy to apply for both professionals and casual DIYers
  • Helps hide surface imperfections

Cons

  • Small 75ml capacity is insufficient for full-wall painting
  • Specific to Antique White; requires additional pots for different shades
  • Requires careful preparation for an accurate finish test

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before testing, ensure your chosen wall surface is clean, dry, and free of loose dust or debris. Shake the tester pot well before opening to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. If applying over a very dark existing color, you may need a base coat to see the true shade of the Antique White. Once finished, store the pot in a cool, dry place if there is any remaining paint, ensuring the lid is pressed on tightly to prevent drying. Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
