Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Mocha Matt Emulsion Paint is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a professional, modern finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is its creamy, high-coverage formula that effectively masks surface imperfections for a smooth, matte aesthetic; however, users should note that the matte finish is less resistant to heavy scrubbing compared to higher-sheen alternatives.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in bathrooms?

This paint is designed for standard walls and ceilings. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, consider if your ventilation is sufficient, though specialized kitchen/bathroom paint is usually recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is quick-drying, but it is best to allow at least 2-4 hours between coats depending on room temperature and humidity.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over a clean, previously painted surface, a primer is generally not required. However, use a mist coat on new or porous plaster.

How do I clean my brushes?

Clean all tools and brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after use.

Is this paint wipeable?

Yes, the paint is wipeable, allowing for gentle removal of dust or light surface marks with a damp cloth.

How much paint do I need?

Coverage depends on the porosity of the surface, but generally, one 2.5L tin covers approximately 30 square meters per coat.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Visible roller streaks

Apply the paint in a 'W' or 'V' pattern and ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while rolling.

Paint not sticking to the wall

Ensure the wall is thoroughly cleaned and free of grease or dust before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Hides surface imperfections well due to the matte texture
  • Creamy formula makes for an easier application process
  • Provides a modern, sophisticated aesthetic
  • Highly durable for long-lasting home interiors

Cons

  • Matte finishes can be slightly harder to scrub than silk or soft sheen
  • Requires careful preparation of the surface for the best results
  • May require more coats if covering a very dark existing color

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. If painting over fresh plaster, use a mist coat (thinned emulsion) first. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure consistent color distribution. Apply using a brush for corners and edges, followed by a roller for large wall surfaces. For ongoing care, remove marks by gently wiping the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which could damage the matte finish over time.
