This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional decorators seeking an efficient and high-quality paint finish. The Johnstone's One Coat Matt in Subtle Stone offers superb covering power in a single application, significantly reducing project time. A potential caveat is that optimal results depend on proper surface preparation and application technique.

The estimated coverage is 8 square metres per litre. However, actual coverage can vary depending on the surface texture and porosity.
The paint is touch dry in 1-2 hours. It is designed for single-coat application, but if a second coat is necessary, it can typically be applied after this drying time.
While it has a low odour, this is a matt emulsion and is not specifically designed for high-moisture or high-traffic areas that require frequent washing. For such areas, a silk or vinyl silk finish might be more appropriate.
The 'One Coat' formula is designed to minimize or eliminate the need for a separate primer on many surfaces. However, for very dark colours, glossy surfaces, or highly absorbent substrates, using a primer may still provide a better finish and ensure full one-coat coverage.
Clean brushes, rollers, and any other equipment immediately after use with warm water and detergent.
The One Coat Matt range is available in various colours including Antique Cream, Seashell, New Duck Egg, White, Manhattan Grey, and Magnolia, in addition to Subtle Stone.
No, Johnstone's One Coat Matt is designed for interior use only.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not excessively porous or dark. For very challenging surfaces, consider using a suitable primer before applying the One Coat Matt. Avoid over-thinning the paint.
Apply paint evenly and avoid over-spreading. Maintain a wet edge to blend freshly painted areas with previously painted sections. Use a high-quality brush or roller appropriate for matt emulsions.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, a very small amount of clean water (no more than 5% by volume) can be added for easier application, but this may affect coverage.
Ensure all surface imperfections were addressed during preparation (filling, sanding). Matt finishes can highlight uneven surfaces if not properly prepared. A second coat may be required in some cases.
Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose material. For best adhesion and to achieve the 'one coat' promise, lightly sand any glossy surfaces and wipe down. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and allow to dry completely.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller, working in even strokes. Avoid over-spreading the paint. For best results, paint in a consistent direction.
Compatibility: Johnstone's One Coat Matt is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is generally compatible with most previously painted surfaces, provided they are sound and properly prepared. It is not intended for use on floors or in areas subject to heavy condensation or frequent washing.
Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with water. Store paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
