Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Vinyl Soft Sheen Emulsion Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, velvety finish on their interior walls and ceilings. This paint offers a unique balance between matte and satin, providing excellent coverage that helps to minimize surface imperfections, though users should note that the subtle sheen may highlight major wall irregularities more than a standard matte finish would.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

While it is wipeable, Johnstone's specifically recommends it for walls and ceilings in living areas. For high-humidity zones, a dedicated moisture-resistant paint is often preferred.

How many coats are typically required?

For best results, two coats are recommended to achieve full opacity and the intended sheen level.

Can I use this paint over silk or gloss paint?

It is highly recommended to lightly sand down any glossy surfaces and apply an appropriate primer to ensure the new emulsion adheres correctly.

How long should I wait between coats?

Allow at least 2-4 hours of drying time between coats, depending on ambient room temperature and humidity.

Is this paint water-based?

Yes, this is a water-based emulsion, meaning cleanup can be done using warm soapy water.

Troubleshooting

Streaky or uneven finish

Ensure the roller is fully loaded with paint and maintain a 'W' or 'M' pattern during application to avoid over-working the paint.

Paint peeling or flaking

Ensure the underlying surface was properly primed or free of dust/grease before application; remove loose flakes and re-prime before repainting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smooth and creamy consistency for easy application
  • Durable and wipeable finish suitable for high-traffic areas
  • Effectively masks minor surface flaws
  • Sophisticated, soft-sheen aesthetic
  • Excellent coverage rate

Cons

  • Sheen may highlight deep structural imperfections
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • Slower drying time compared to some ultra-flat matte paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over new plaster, apply a mist coat first. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure consistent pigment distribution. For maintenance, simply use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to gently wipe away marks. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads as these may dull the sheen of the paint over time.
