Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Wall & Ceiling Matt Emulsion is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, non-reflective finish on interior surfaces. Its creamy consistency offers excellent coverage, making it highly effective at hiding minor wall and ceiling imperfections while providing a durable, wipeable surface. While it excels in modernizing living spaces, users should note that as a matte finish, it may show scuffs more easily in high-traffic areas compared to glossier alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While this is a durable matte emulsion, kitchens and bathrooms often require specialized moisture-resistant paint due to high humidity.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

This product is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings; it is not recommended for wood or metal surfaces.

How do I clean my walls once they are painted?

Because it is wipeable, you can gently clean marks using a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results and a true, even finish, two coats are generally recommended, especially when changing colours.

Is this paint low odor?

Yes, it is designed for indoor use and has a manageable, low-odor formula that dissipates quickly with proper ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing streaks or brush marks

Ensure you are using high-quality synthetic brushes and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint.

Poor coverage after one coat

Ensure the surface was primed if dark or porous, and consider applying a second coat after the recommended drying time.

Paint peeling or bubbling

Usually caused by damp surfaces or painting over greasy/dirty walls. Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paint, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. If painting over a porous surface or a drastic colour change, consider using a high-quality primer to ensure the best adhesion and depth of colour. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the paint from drying out. For cleaning, use warm soapy water for brushes and rollers immediately after application while the paint is still wet.
