FAQs

What kind of surfaces can I use this paint on?

Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces.

How many coats do I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended to achieve the best colour depth, coverage, and durability, especially when painting over a contrasting colour.

How do I clean my walls after painting with this product?

For everyday marks and spills, use a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner diluted in water can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.

Is this paint low odour?

Yes, Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint features a low odour formula, making the painting experience more comfortable.

Do I need to prime the walls first?

For new plaster, porous, or previously unpainted surfaces, or if painting over a strong colour, applying a suitable primer or an initial mist coat (diluted paint) is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and a consistent finish.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it is washable and durable, for high-humidity environments like bathrooms and kitchens, paints specifically formulated with mould-inhibiting properties and higher moisture resistance might offer better long-term performance. (Info needed: specific suitability for high-humidity areas).

What is the drying time between coats?

Info needed: specific drying time between coats. Always refer to the product label for precise instructions.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after drying

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Apply a second coat, ensuring even distribution and sufficient drying time between coats. Over-spreading or under-applying paint can lead to patchiness.

Marks are not wiping away completely or are leaving a residue

Use a soft, clean, damp cloth for wiping. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner diluted in water can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the paint has fully cured (typically several weeks) before attempting any vigorous cleaning.

Paint is not drying as quickly as expected

Check room temperature and humidity; paint dries slower in cold, damp conditions. Ensure good ventilation. Avoid applying excessively thick coats, as this will prolong drying time.
