Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - White Lace

Yes, its washable and durable nature makes it suitable for areas prone to splashes and marks, like kitchens and bathrooms. However, for areas with very high humidity or condensation, a specialized kitchen and bathroom paint with enhanced mould resistance might be more appropriate for long-term performance.

For optimal coverage, durability, and true color, two coats are generally recommended. However, this can vary depending on the original surface color and condition.

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, plasterboard, and most previously painted surfaces. Always ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and sound before application.

This paint is quick drying. It is typically touch dry within 1-2 hours and recoatable after 2-4 hours. Always refer to the product label for specific drying times, as conditions like temperature and humidity can affect this.

The paint's formula is designed to resist fading and maintain its original color even after repeated wiping, ensuring your walls retain their fresh look for longer.

Brushes, rollers, and other equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed.

For most previously painted, sound surfaces, priming may not be necessary. However, for bare, porous, or significantly stained surfaces, a suitable primer or a diluted 'mist coat' of this paint (thinned with water) is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications. Avoid overloading your brush or roller.

Clean spills and marks as soon as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge with plain water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing pads, which can damage the matt finish. Ensure the paint has fully cured (typically 7-14 days) before attempting vigorous cleaning.

While low-odor, ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting. Keep windows and doors open for several hours after application to help dissipate any residual smell. Cooler temperatures and high humidity can prolong drying and off-gassing.

Paint color can be influenced by lighting conditions and the underlying surface color. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure you have applied the recommended number of coats for optimal color development. Paint often appears darker when wet and lightens slightly upon drying.
