Johnstone's Black Silk Emulsion is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to add a sophisticated, high-sheen finish to their interior walls and ceilings. It is perfect for those who want a durable, light-reflecting surface that is easy to clean, though users should be mindful that the high-sheen finish can highlight surface imperfections more readily than flat matte paints.

Yes, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion is specifically formulated for use on both walls and ceilings.
While it is durable and scrub-resistant, ensure the area is well-ventilated; however, for extremely humid areas, a specialized kitchen/bathroom paint is sometimes preferred.
It is a quick-drying formula, though exact times depend on ambient temperature and humidity. Generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours.
A primer is recommended if the surface is bare, very porous, or has significant stains.
Since this is an emulsion paint, you should clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
It provides a silky sheen rather than a high-gloss finish, offering a subtle, elegant light reflection.
Ensure the surface was properly primed and the paint was mixed thoroughly before application. Apply a second coat using even pressure.
High-sheen paints highlight bumps. Sand down the wall surface until perfectly smooth before applying subsequent coats.
Work in smaller sections to maintain a 'wet edge' and avoid over-brushing areas that have already started to tack off.
Before starting your project, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For best results, use a quality brush or medium-pile roller to achieve an even finish. If you are applying over a previously painted surface, ensure it is keyed (lightly sanded) to improve adhesion. For bare surfaces, applying a suitable primer is recommended. Care for the painted surface by avoiding harsh chemical cleaners; a damp, soft cloth is typically sufficient for removing marks due to the paint's inherent scrub resistance. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use and store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
