FAQs

Can I use this paint on ceilings?

Yes, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion is specifically formulated for both walls and ceilings.

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While it is durable and scrub-resistant, it is generally recommended to use dedicated moisture-resistant kitchen and bathroom paint for areas with high humidity.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to its quick-drying formula, it is typically ready for a second coat within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.

Does this paint have a high VOC content?

No, it features a low VOC formula, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly option for interior use.

How do I clean up after painting?

Clean brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks or roller stipple

Ensure you are using a high-quality applicator and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint once it begins to dry.

Visible patches or uneven sheen

This often occurs due to poor surface preparation or inconsistent absorption; ensure the wall is properly primed and apply an even second coat.

Paint peeling or flaking shortly after application

This usually indicates the surface was not clean or was damp before application; scrape off the loose paint, clean the surface, and repaint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, scrub-resistant surface for high-traffic areas
  • Light-reflecting finish adds depth and brightness to rooms
  • Quick-drying formula speeds up the painting process
  • Low odour formula is better for indoor comfort
  • Smooth consistency allows for easy brushing and rolling

Cons

  • High sheen can emphasize wall surface imperfections
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results
  • Not suitable for areas requiring a completely matte finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If the wall is new or porous, apply a suitable primer first. When painting, use a high-quality roller for large areas and a brush for cutting into edges to achieve a smooth finish. Ensure the room is well-ventilated while painting to assist the quick-drying process. For care, simply use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to remove surface dirt, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could affect the sheen.
