Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Walls & Ceilings Soft Sheen Paint in Antique Cream is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, velvety finish on interior surfaces. Its primary benefit is a highly durable and wipeable surface that masks minor wall imperfections, though users should note that the subtle sheen may highlight major surface irregularities more than a flat matt finish would.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While the paint is wipeable, it is specifically formulated for general living areas. For high-humidity rooms like bathrooms, a dedicated kitchen/bathroom paint is often recommended.

How many coats are typically required?

For optimal coverage and an even finish, two coats are recommended over properly prepared surfaces.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, this product is specifically designed for both walls and ceilings.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean tools with warm water and soap immediately after use while the paint is still wet.

Is this paint oil-based or water-based?

This is a water-based emulsion, which allows for easier cleanup and lower odor during application.

Can it be used over gloss paint?

It is not recommended to paint directly over gloss. You should lightly sand the gloss surface and apply a suitable primer before painting.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patches

Ensure the surface is properly primed and that you are not over-spreading the paint; apply a consistent second coat.

Paint dripping during application

Avoid overloading the roller or brush; use a paint tray to remove excess paint before applying to the wall.

Visible roller marks

Use a high-quality medium-pile roller and maintain a 'wet edge' by overlapping strokes slightly while the paint is still wet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable finish suitable for high-traffic areas
  • Easy to clean and maintain with a damp cloth
  • Creamy consistency ensures smooth application
  • Sophisticated aesthetic with a soft, velvet-like sheen
  • Helps mask minor wall imperfections

Cons

  • Sheen finish may highlight significant wall dents or uneven plaster
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results
  • Drying times can vary based on humidity and temperature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For new or bare plaster, apply a mist coat or appropriate sealer to prevent uneven absorption. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Once applied, allow the paint to dry completely—typically 2-4 hours between coats depending on room conditions—before applying a second layer. For routine care, simply wipe down marked areas with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may dull the soft sheen finish over time.
