Johnstone's Washable Matt Tough Paint - Antique Cream

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. It provides excellent coverage and durability on common indoor surfaces like plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted walls.

For optimal coverage, durability, and color depth, we generally recommend applying two coats of Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

For everyday marks and spills, simply wipe the affected area gently with a soft, damp cloth. The washable matt formula is designed to allow cleaning without damaging the finish or causing shiny patches. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.

Yes, its highly durable and washable properties make it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas and rooms prone to splashes and marks, such as kitchens and bathrooms, where easy cleaning is essential.

This paint is formulated to be quick-drying. While actual drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity, it's typically touch dry within 2-4 hours. Always check the specific guidance on the paint can for recoat times and allow ample time before applying the next coat.

For bare, porous, or previously unpainted surfaces, priming or applying a mist coat (diluted first coat) is recommended. This helps ensure optimal adhesion, an even finish, and prevents the paint from being absorbed unevenly by the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed if necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure consistent pigment distribution. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications. Avoid overspreading the paint.

Ensure you are using a soft, damp cloth and wiping gently. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. Address marks promptly for the best results, as dried-on stains may be harder to remove.

This paint is formulated to prevent shiny patches. If they appear, it might be due to excessive scrubbing with an abrasive material or using a harsh cleaning agent. Always use a soft, damp cloth and gentle wiping motions. Allow the area to dry fully to see if the sheen returns to matt.

Paint drying time is highly influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Ensure good airflow and ventilation in the room. Avoid painting in very cold or excessively humid conditions. The paint will dry slower in these environments.

Paint color can appear differently under various lighting conditions (natural vs. artificial light) and against existing colors in a room. Always test a small area first if precise color matching is critical. Also, ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application.
