Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is designed for both professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a smooth, non-reflective finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is a high-quality, hardwearing, and wipeable surface that effectively disguises minor imperfections, though users should note that the matte finish is less resistant to heavy scrubbing compared to gloss or silk alternatives.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While it is durable, this specific formula is designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For rooms with high steam or moisture, a specialized kitchen/bathroom paint is recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying; however, exact times vary based on room temperature and humidity. Generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over previously painted sound surfaces, a primer is usually not required. However, for bare plaster, a mist coat is highly recommended.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Use warm, soapy water to wash brushes and rollers thoroughly immediately after you finish painting.

Is this paint wipeable?

Yes, it is formulated to be hardwearing and wipeable, making it suitable for areas of the home that may require occasional cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller streaks

Ensure you are using a quality roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level out properly.

Paint peeling or flaking

This is often caused by applying paint to a dusty or greasy surface. Ensure the wall is thoroughly cleaned and primed before re-application.

Uneven colour coverage

Apply a second coat once the first has completely dried. If the surface is highly porous, a primer or mist coat may be necessary first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for hiding minor wall imperfections
  • Modern, non-reflective aesthetic
  • Fast drying time for efficient work
  • Low odour for improved comfort during application
  • Durable surface that is easy to wipe clean

Cons

  • Matte finish shows marks more readily than silk paints
  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms
  • Requires careful preparation to ensure even coverage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For new plaster or porous surfaces, apply a mist coat (watered-down emulsion) first to ensure proper adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats for optimal depth of colour. Clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use to prevent drying. Store containers in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product shelf life.
